right. my view on it doesnt change what is "true".
wrong.
but true is still true whatever tint glasses we look at it through - quantum physics, biology, religion, illogic/logic, faith, not giving a shit - it doesnt matter. everything will still be what it is regardless of our consciousness. even if everything is actually a big whirling mess of nonsense and snakes. if thats what it is, then so be it. though i dont see it that way and i guess you dont either.
whatever "is" is; be that the objective reality which i see or believe in or whatever, or a subjective reality which you propose; my view on it, nor yours, nor the whole population of the worlds views, do not change what "is" is in actuality. a pot of salt, which is green, for example. like i touched on earlier, the language which we use to describe things may be different from the reality, but the reality is still the reality.

'True is still true' assumes that there is 'a' truth, though, let alone whether or not it's knowable. You just keep asserting that reality 'is' – a common-sense position which isn't much fun in these sorts of arguments.
I have been careful not to propose anything like a 'subjective reality' – my point is just that it is not self-evident that there is an objective one.
Yes, I am a 'lady'. Which doesn't exempt me from alpha-male posturing, I don't think. I am just waving a Freudian lack-of-willy instead of a real one :(
