Deep thought time...

nadrielI haven't been doing very much of my philosophical pondering on here lately, so I thought I'd do a bit now.
It concerns the nature of reality, and perception.
How do we know what is real? All our sense can be decieved, so we could all be living in a completley different world and not realise it. Also, how do I know that the reality I see/hear/etc is the same as the reality that everyone else sees (actually, based on what I read in the papers, I suspect I don't see reality in the same way as most people).
And are insane people really insane? After all, by their perceptions, nothing is amiss (well, depending on the form the insanity takes, but I'm using generalisations here....).
I think that'll do for now...

Date: 2003-08-01 03:37 am (UTC)I haven't played for a while though as I've been working away from home and rebuilt my computer. I'm waiting for my copy of Shadows of Unrentide(sic) to arrive then I'll re-install.
I take it you play? Fancy going for a run sometime?
I prefer the online game better than the single player campaign. It's like being back in the old MUDs again. :)
