That way of thinking isn't new. It's how people like Heraclitus and Protagoras thought about reality. Everything new is actually pretty old.
One of Protagoras' sayings is "man is the measure of all things."
- LPTS 18y agoIn one of the vids I linked to, he says: "that's called naive realism, reality is how I perceive it. Philosophers have refuted naive realism every generation going back thousands of years, and still people act on the basis of naive realism."
- yters 18y agoWhat's the difference between naive realism and this? "All sentences of the form 'A is B' should be re-written 'A seems B to frame X' (or observer x)."
