What Is Reality?

I've gone down this road before.

Is Reality An Illusion?


Someone with an opposing view will point out if they hit me with a stick I'll find out pretty quick just how real that stick is and the resultant pain. Consider this. If someone were numb to pain would they not conclude pain has no basis in reality? Much as a blind person who has no idea what light is other then how it is described to them.

Our interpretation of reality consists of three things. Our direct sensory observations, instruments created to observe beyond our human capabilities and those we assume through intellectual mathematical formulations.


If there were no observer would any "thing" even exist?

And if it did, wouldn't it be far different from our perceptions of it?

Hence the question.. "What Is Reality"?
