real years law
... I have developed, over the years, some sense of the difference between real horseshit that you can step in and Ideal Platonic Horseshit that exists, evidently, only in the contemplation of those who worship such abstractions; and I continue to notice that Natural Law bears an uncanny resemblance to ideal Platonic Horseshit.
reality self tunnels
All that we "know" is what registers on our brains, so what you perceive (your individual reality-tunnel) is made up of nothing but thoughts—as Sir Humphrey Davy noted when self-experimenting with nitrous oxide in 1819, and as Buddha noticed by sitting alone until all his social imprints atrophied and dropped away.
reality order creating
You're only infallible about your own nervous system. You know what's going on in your own nervous system, whatever realities you're creating out of the infinite flux of being. You don't know anything about anybody else's reality unless they tell you about it. You gotta listen very sympathetically in order to understand them. So it's a limited infallibility.
real blue fiction
Blue uniforms are real. Cops are a social fiction
real our-world devil
The devil is only a convenient myth invented by the real malefactors of our world.
good-luck reality thinking
The Western World has been brainwashed by Aristotle for the last 2,500 years.

real unreal meaningless
All phenomena are real in some sense, unreal in some sense, meaningless in some sense, real and meaningless in some sense, unreal and meaningless in some sense, and real and unreal and meaningless in some sense.
reality tunnels information
Obviously, the faster we process information, the more rich and complex our models or glosses - our reality-tunnels - will become.
reality get-away pop-art
Reality is what you can get away with.
reality space mind
Size is not a reality, but a construct of the mind; and space a construct to contain constructs.
reality tunnels people
People's belief in their own local reality-tunnels keep us all far stupider than we ought to be...
reality endure myth
We live in our myths, we only endure reality.
animal reality tunnels
Most animals, including most domesticated primates (humans) show truly staggering ability to 'ignore' certain kinds of information - that which does not 'fit' their imprinted/ conditioned reality-tunnel
