I took this Communication Ethics class and it really made me realize that I can't trust anything on TV because its fake. Even some of the news is a public relations scam to get you to see something in a different light. Ugh. You win again crafty corporate folk.

at the end of the day, it comes down to what you like, whether it's a temporary fad, phase, temper or not. Life is too short to worry about it

Why worry about what is real? Just enjoy everything for what it is. Life is short.

I don't boast to know what's real and what isn't. I know very little, in fact, though I think a great deal. My perspective of "real" may differ from yours, but that doesn't mean that I am crazy or you are crazy--it just means that we're all different. Currently, I can't even tell you what is real, but I know something is.

Maybe it would help to differentiate between the bs that we produce as we interpret the environment and the illusion that the environment presents all by itself. Make the nucleus of the atom the size of a basketball, then make the electron the size of a dime. Place the basketball on top of Mt Everest and the dime at the base of it. There you have the approximate spacial relationship between the nucleus and the electron. Lots of space in there. Whats in that space? Now realize that your vision network including the eyes are made to take in certain frequencies and not others. Your hearing system is devised in such a way that it takes in certain frequencies. Your tongue develops the various tastes in different areas across its surface. If your senses were made to take in other frequencies of light what would life be like. Ditto taste and sound or touch and smell. It's all illusion. The question may be: What is that is not an illusion? Could it be that the very thing that is abstract about us is the only thing that is not illusory?
