The denial of reality may be something, (clearly in the trivial cases, denial of facts, it is a common fault) - but more interesting is to ask the converse question: just what exactly does it mean to "accept" reality? As if there was a given relatively unique inevitable response, such as reason could articulate? (in other words, beyond basic common sense, there is really no "rational" way to accept reality at all.)
- SkittyDog 5y agoIf we can't agree on some functional common ground for what it means to "accept reality", then I think our discussion is finished. Good luck, I hope it works out for you.
- DrStormyDaniels 5y agoI think we can agree on common ground, I just don't think it's what really matters. Actually, I'd say what matters most, is that we disagree. What would actually happen if everything was simply true?
