Let me try to articulate my meaning rationally and not philosophically....
The sense that I am talking about "real", is in the case of you and me seeing a 'rock'.
Our brains are effectively only constructing a model of the external world in our consciousness.
What WE see (model) as rock, is very differently to what is modeled at a nano scale (which is mostly empty space).
We could go back and forth with your perspective and a rock would never be 'real' in a sense... It's only a model that you construct in your mind...
But for the majority of people and scientists... the rock IS there (objectively), and it is very 'real' in the sense I am talking about (no matter how the mind has constructed it)
Now... would I go as far as saying there are actually 'rocks in your head' (or machine elves for the argument)... probably not... (but don't tempt me
)
Back to harmalas FB... I'm been super busy these last couple of nights to try myself, but I will definitely be doing this weekend.
