valkygrrl:
That's a different question. Reality is real. Memory and the mind are also real as they are stored as part of your brain's internal workings. I don't see anyone claiming memory is necessarily accurate.
Here's another way to look at it. I place a rock on a table. Then all of humanity and any other minds that happen in the universe disappear even what passed for a mind in rodents, and for fun plants will disappear too, nothing living and no sentient AIs.
The rock will still be on the table because the rest of the universe is still there even with nothing to perceive it, even with the concepts of rock and table gone those things would still exist. Because reality is real.
That which is, is
That which is not, is not
or to paraphrase Matt Dillahunty. ..
A is always equal to A. A is never equal to not A.
And no one asked about the second rule of valkygrrl club. *sniffle*
chaospersonified:
My point is that memory is the only way we can experience anything that's not this exact moment in time. The facts of reality are solid; they don't change, but what is considered to be reality does, in fact. We know now not to give a pregnant woman thalidomide to help with morning sickness, but there was a time in the past when it was considered a good idea. It wasn't, but to them, it was.
Subjective "reality," is a good way to put it, the quotation marks indicating it's not the same as reality.
I don't disagree with what you're saying, I'd just like to suggest that the reality in the mind is different, not on a fundamental level, but in the nuances, from fact-based reality.

See what you did, Jeph? One day of YB and the whole fucking forum's disappeared through a philosophical portal into what-the-fuck-is-going-on.

Is it that nobody talks about the valkygrrl club?

--- Quote from: Armades on 19 Apr 2015, 21:29 ---Maybe it's just me, or has the comic seemed to be getting less... graphic, lately? Pintsize seems to have chilled way out, Faye has mellowed (even though her drama quotient has gone a bit up) and even Yelling Bird is fairly tame. I might just be making a mountain out of a molehill though.
First post, please be gentle senpais.

Less Funny More Feels seems to be the order of the day recent. Can't say I enjoy it.
