Reality exists outside personal perceptions
Yes.
2 + 2 = 4, whether you believe it or not.

OH! NO! Mr. Bill! Not Sluggo!
"yes. and i have been touched by his noodly appendage."
Those darn Pastafarians and their pirates! EVERYONE knows that when a tree falls in the forest it doesn't make a noise if no one is there! "Reality exists outside personal perceptions" Of course not! The Langoliers come along and gobble everything up as soon as you leave a room!  KOG

I have met the Langoliers... Now that is a group that knows how to party!
They do have a tough union, so it is hard to get in, if you do not know someone... . . . . I believe the question is not if reality exists outside of our personal experience, but are we able to deal with the reality that only seems to exist in the personal experience of others? My question would not be the same as the OP's, but this: If a person's reality were made known to you, is it real, even if it does not fit your own perspective of that reality? I say yes... If another honestly thinks something is so, then it is... for them. I do not begrudge other's their reality... I do begrudge them trying to force me to accept it as my own, however...

Quote:
Regardless of what some guru may have tried to convince someone of, individuals do not have their own realities. What individuals have is their own ideas or misconceptions of what reality is, but reality does in fact exist separate from individual perceptions. People may believe something is "real" for quite sometime, for instance that the world is flat, but that doesn't in any way, shape or form make it so. If this was not the case, then the entire universe would collapse because certainly there are people that believe the universe is roughly 6,000 years old and there is another group that believes the knowable universe is roughly 13.73 billion years old; only one of which can, in fact, be "real".
