I understand: you are a self-centered narcissist. You Believe your reality is the only reality. Thank you for the free, fashionable, moderator-approved insult Jacob but you are bewildered, despite your vast intellect, wonderful thoughtful personality and sense of humour. Over the internet free psychological evaluation is a great advantage of Cyberspace. I'll see your "self-centred narcissist" [spelling correction] and raise you a "projection". Of course my reality is the only reality. Despite the fashionable quantum theory ideas and fashionable idea that reality is only what individuals perceive and imagine, there's an objective reality to which individuals have a greater or lesser attachment. I subscribe to the idea that there is an objective reality. I'm aware than my ideas aren't a perfect model of that objective reality, which is why I explained that we agree although you think we don't. If my idea turns out to be wrong, I dump my false ideas fast and adopt the new one [yours if it's the good one]. If we disagree, it's only that we haven't dialectically come to the correct observation of reality. If you are sane, intelligent etc as you say, then it's not possible for us to disagree on reality, because it exists independently of our observer status. Same for the war in Ukraine. Just because each living thing has a unique point of view and individual life experience, ]as you explained], and individual DNA design, doesn't mean they aren't all dealing with a single objective reality. Chimpoid types operating in animal mode see Malthusian scarcity and a need for Hobbes style red in tooth and claw power to reign supreme. We more God-like creatures have moved into a psychic realm more akin to Nirvana, Utopia and 10th Dan cosmic consciousness. So, hence, we agree. If not, I'll kill you. Go MAD ... nuke Peoria!! Woohoo. Dr Strangelove rides again. If you can't beat them, join them. Mqurice
