- akvadrako 8y agoI personally wouldn’t characterize it from bit that way, but it’s not as crazy as it seems. We know that subjective reality exists because we directly experience it. But the evidence for an objective reality is shaky at best. If it exists it isn’t anything like the classical world we inhabit - that has been proven multiple times over.
