My personal take is, that we define something as real when a mass majority starts to believe in it.
So is it impossible for the majority to be wrong?
So isn't reality a subjective thing?
Only because you have defined it as what most people believe. Many would disagree with that definition and say, for example, that our planet was round even before we noticed it.
- rick_2047 16y agoexactly my point. But what was defined as "real" at that time was that earth is flat.
- argv_empty 16y agoThat's what they _believed_ was real. I have yet to see anyone claim that belief is reality and give justification beyond simply repeating/rephrasing the claim, and you certainly aren't the first.
