Sure, I'll go along with that.

I think we all know, or think we know, what we want reality to be and not be- even though I do not think we can know exactly what reality is. But I'm not sure it matters all that much, except for the times when Mr X's reality comes into conflict with Mr. Y's reality. This causes problems interpersonally, interculturally, and internationally. I think it is the main reason for conflict in the world.

If everyone could embrace peaceful relativism, there would be no need to fight. We would only need to get people to agree to the peaceful part- which could take thousands of years, but that's not so long...really...
