> This statement, taken seriously, and extended, unlike everything you’ve said prior, can be very damaging, because it presumes not only are we each different, but that you are the only real one, and thus your own perspective is literally the only one that matters. It isn’t hard to see why this is not a good perspective to hold in the large majority of cases. I don't believe only my perspective matters, and I don't think anyone should. I use the term "subjective reality" so heavily because it is scoped to each person and it is their reality. I can't truly know if everything is in my head. That also means that, for things I perceive as not in my head, they are functionally external to myself. The fact that I have these boundaries of whether I genuinely and completely think something is in my head prevents my subsumption of other perspectives as my own. In this HN thread, I have no choice but to engage you as one human to another, because if I've already thought out your responses and this is just a dream of sorts, I can't tell.
