Considering everyone perceives the universe slightly differently, it is perfectly reasonable to say that there are actually N realities where N is the number of things observing the universe.
That being said, it is also very true that to get anything done we have to agree upon those things that are common between our realities so that we can work together.
- eivarv 11y agoIs that really a reasonable thing to say, though? I think it is more reasonable to assume that there are N perspectives (via our unique configurations and variations in sensors and systems) on reality rather than different realities, as there is no indication of different realities (of this type, in this context). While it's true that we have to agree upon certain facets of reality to get anything done, faulty perception and cognition exists (and can in many cases be detected). I tend to agree with striking, in that "There is only one reality, the one we share" - but this is not necessarily (nor probably) the one we perceive.
