What does 'reality' mean to you, and what is the benefit in believing in such a thing?
      01/15/24 10:53 AM

To me the idea of reality is the idea that there is something out there that is creating my sense impressions. Its other than my senses and thoughts. So the experience of light is a sensation, and the idea of a photon is a thought, and both these things may point to something outside my experience that may or may not exist.

I don't see any reason to believe that it does or doesn't exist, and leave it as an open question.

Most people seem to believe that there is in fact a reality out there. I don't think this view can be confirmed, as I never experience anything other than my thoughts and sensations, so have no data to confirm anything outside this. Even scientific data appears as sensations and thoughts.

I also don't see any benefit or practical reason for believing that reality does or doesn't exist.
