Do you believe in the subjectivity of reality?

Our brains cannot see, feel, hear, taste, or smell. These are all perceptions your brain picks up from sensations and waves. This reality, quite possibly, could be entirely made up. It is entirely made up.
When on acid, your perception of reality is so easily skewed because of how easily your brain can pick up false waves, or even enhance things that are really happening, from things you believe may be there. This is also so with those who are schizophrenic.

No, I don't. Reality is something that is steady and applies to all, and you're referring to something else- like personal experience.

No not personal experience. This is scientific facts. Our brains only experience the world through these sensations of our senses, that is why we have them.@SW-User

@JackForrester If that was true then recording devices would portray something different from our brains.The term reality refers to the relationship between people and nature: most essentially expressible as movement through space-time.

I don't mean on such a large scale. Our brains are alike, our brains will grasp towards the same things. Sight is a more tricky sort of thing to explain about this and I know I'm not doing an excellent job, but I'm talking about the whole idea of like the fact that this all is so cool that we can experience things without actually experiencing them. Like in our dreams, that is all made up from our brains, we do not have to see to see or hear to hear, that's why I'm saying things can be subjective, as far as reality itself you know@SW-User

@JackForrester Various impairments can and do exist. And then there is dreaming: the sifting and discarding of irrelevant experiences. Interesting stuff.
