Reality man vs Perception man. Who wins?

Question

Ok, Perception man has the advantage of having the ability to perceive victory even in the face of defeat. Which means, he will always get up after a blow. Given the experience and the consistant self induced boost to his confidence, he will almost always perform at his best. You must take into account also that he can change his perception to that which is realistic, so therefore he is flexible. Reality man, well, you tell me. You're the judge, not me. You may perceive this as half the answer but what do you think is the reality of the situation?

justme, it's nothing to do with thinking that you are, it's being who you are, just that. Weigh it up.

EruditeGu...I just gave you 2 men with special abilities. Not 2 personnas therefore they are certainly not the same entity. tey again.

I didn't want it to go down that road but perception is a part of reality but reality isn't always.

WHAT!! Reality man vs Perception man. Who wins? The original question , no change. YOu're still wrong. Perceive it to be true and weep in the silent reality created by that fact.

elaborate? Hey if you can't answer it, don't. It's your call people. YOu want the points, you have to earn them. I'm not going to explain to you the dynamics of perception and reality. I couldn't care less to be honest. This question is as easy as you want it to be. or as hard. You can't throw a question back at me or complain cause your puny little brains can't think beyond the reading of the question. Not my problem!! No more bullshit question answers please! thanks and kindly **** off :)- durrrhh

Answer 1

This attempt at thought provoking subject matter would be best served by your definition of each. It should further be imbued with what you mean by, "wins".

Shallow minds want to know!

Answer 2

perception is reality in the eyes of the person perceiving it. your question's ambiguous, it's hard to infer exactly what you mean by 'reality' but everyone perceives everything differently; how can there be a universal reality when everything, reality, is relative? there is no 'reality', only what each individual can perceive. none of us can reach an equilibrium, and the concept of 'truth' and 'reality' differs from one individual to the next. who wins? YOU DECIDE.....

btw, good question, although you could have elaborated a bit more on exactly what you meant

i'm saying there are some fundamental flaws in the question's logic, which is why not many people have given a conclusive answer

Answer 3

These two personas are not distinct, but the same entity. Everyone experiences his/her own reality. It is shaped by what he/she perceives.

I know this is laced with postmodernistic elements. but it makes sense. A one true reality may exist, but no one can experience it, since our own perception alters it in some way.


Hey question asker, how is it fair to change the question after I had answered and then say me answer was wrong? Make your question finalized, so that people can answer. No admendments to the question, please.

Answer 4

Depends how lucky Perception Man is ... if lucky enough to be right about the stimulus available prompting the action, then will always beat Reality Man to the punch. If wrong/unlucky, then he losses and/or gets egg on face.

Answer 5

Hi, you've told us a lot about the powers of Perception Man but nothing about the powers of Reality Man. More info needed, methinks.

Answer 6

either perception man, or possibly a draw. Because perception influences reality (even in quantum mechanics).

Or they may even merge into one being because its is easily argueable that they are one and the same because the reality we 'see' with our limited senses is only our perception of the world around us,
for example our perception would be differant if we could see in microwaves or infra red!!

thereby affecting our own personal reality

Answer 7

surely the reality man

Answer 8

there is a complete answer to this but it is a bit long
it is by Descartes
from it comes the famous quote ' i think there fore i am'

Answer 9

Who cares?

Answer 10

i hate reading long questions
