Have you ever questioned reality and found it left wanting?

Answer 1

Yes. In fact I asked it a series of questions, and none of the answers were satisfactory. As a result I've sacked reality and replaced it with the following:
-Two "Vidor" brand AA batteries (Discharged, as Vidor batteries always have been when purchased.)
-A packet of salt and vinegar crisps (slightly eaten).
-An old Pulp CD (inlay missing).
-Roget's Thesaurus.
Now - you may all mock...
...but I made this switch seven weeks ago and none of you have complained, noticed the lack of battery charge, or even mentioned the excess sodium in your diet.
Hence the question is valid: Reality has a lot of work to do if it wants to earn our business...

"...mister we just want yer car... 'cos we're taking a girl to the reservoir..."

Answer 2

Got into trouble. Experienced phenomena and lots of people, some extremely rich and successful people found out about it and lots of other strange things about my life. REPEATEDLY EXPLAINED THE TRUTH. There are logical reasons why and how such things have happened and why certain other things could not have happened. Highly educated people could not apply logic or rational about this and had to be let in to a few other secrets to prove the point. So, the reality of higher education and success does not mean intelligent or rational. Education is not about being intelligent and success is not about being clever. Dispite education its obvious people can't think for themselves. I find this reality very much wanting.

This is more easily understandable if one considers the actual scale of the components of an atom. If one takes into account the fact that the neutrons, protons and electrons of an atom actually have huge spaces between them it becomes clear that the atoms that make up seemingly solid objects are made up of 99+ percent empty space.

This alone does not seem too important till you add the idea that the atoms that make up seemingly solid objects are more of a loose conglomeration that share a similar attraction but never really touch each other.

At first glance this does not really seem relevant, but closer analysis reveals that this adds a tremendous amount of empty space to solid objects that are already made up of atoms that are 99 percent space. When so-called solid objects are seen in this light it becomes apparent that they can in no way be the seemingly solid objects they appear to be.

We ourselves are not exceptions to this phenomenon.

These seemingly solid objects are more like ghostly images that we interpret as solid objects based on our perceptual conclusions.

From this we must conclude that Perception is some sort of a trick that helps us to take these ghostly images and turn them into a world we can associate and interact with. This clever device seems to be a creation of our intellect that enables us to interact with each other in what appears to be a three dimensional reality.

I hope that helps to answered your question.

Answer 4

I try to avoid acting out whatever urges i may have to ask questions to things that do not speak. Sometimes I do this ,despite myself, to my cat. But never reality.

Answer 5

my mind is blown whenever i think of the age old question 'where are we from' dont want to start a big religion debate but where did it all start and how? ! if it was GOD, where did that person come from and then the person who created god and so on. If it was an explosion, where did the gases come from - where did the universe come from ? oh my here i go again.....

Answer 6

Reality is what each of us realises it to be, so in effect what we belive is there is all we want, and if you are left wanting it really means your not recieving something that you belive you should.

Answer 7

Reality is pretty good if left alone its the interferers that make it painfull.

Answer 8

you betcha - especially having seen the development of exploding cars (Ford Pinto and other automobile oddities), people who drive to the gym to lose weight and work out, oh and the current fascination with Paris Hilton and her dog

Answer 9

All the time !

Answer 10

For as good as science is ... they can take all the parts that make up an egg. They can't make it look like an egg though :-)
