 I thought the discussion we had in class was very interesting. But I was thinking a lot about what we'd been talking about in terms of "reality".

I find discussing "reality" in terms of a measurable reality - such as sight, smell or hearing - much more valuable than that of another's perception. We can't actually measure perception because we are stuck in our own realities and can't scientifically compare them. It seems kind of dangerous. Sometimes a "standard" is necessary, even if it is sort of a falsely constructed reality that we agree upon. I see the merit in denying that any true, universal reality exists but one can usually take that too far.
