Reality limited as being "perceived" and "interpreted" by humans is how some people choose to live - as victims of this thing called "the physical universe" that offers no independent confirmation that it exists other than in peoples' minds.

For many, "reality" is a series of static rules, rocks & relationships that have no connection to them personally. There is incredible controversy as to what the "truth" is, but sprinkle these folks with some fairy dust known as "data", and all skepticism whatsoever as to its' nature magically vanishes.

They're "Right". They can "Prove" it. They're "Right". Disempowered, passive, and "Right".

Me? I create my reality (including myself), and I am fully aware that people create their realities (including who they are and who I am). And that can be anything, and it is. It is empowering.

Frankly, this is all that matters to me because it is all I choose to pay attention to. The rest is just stories people make up to get what they want, or what they think they want, or what they think they don't want but have earned.
