There’s no such thing as objective reality. Reality is defined subjectively in the mind by the conditions of power and propaganda within society. Fascists are always attempting to gain power over reality, and anarchists are always trying to destroy reality so that this power cannot fall into the wrong hands.
It’s not an imitation, it’s an interface. Cognitive scientist Donald Hoffman conducted hundreds of simulated experiments in which an organism which perceived truth was set against an organism that perceived fitness. Truth always goes extinct, because fitness is more efficient. Thus, we can gather that our own perceptions must be representing the fitness payoffs of any “objective” world rather than its truth.
If any objective world does exist, it’s not a reality. Reality is perception. What cannot be perceived, therefore cannot be real.
It’s privilege. Such ignorance would be fatal in a “wild” context. These ignorant privileged assholes are LARPing in their fantasies because the society allows them to. That’s the social order. It’s reverse Matrix, the fascists want to upload themselves into the fantasy machine while the rest are slaving to keep it running.
Fist part was interesting but you lost me in the second half. Does perception, and therefore reality, require conciousness? Can you recommend any reading on this?
Okay, here is a healthy recipe for a delicious bowl of whatever:
Step 1: Set 200mL of late stage capitalism on a pan with medium heat until melted
Step 2: Slowly add 2 cups of youth disenfranchisement while stirring with a spatula
Step 3: meh. I don’t give a shit anymore.
Step 4: Whatever.
Have you seen Invincible? You know that guy who can create portals between universes? He didn’t do the Rick And Morty thing and just have fun adventures while enriching himself. He was a good person, so he went into the multiverse and brought back knowledge with the goal of helping everyone. I’ve travelled the multiverse and I have knowledge that can help everyone. I’m hoping I don’t get my brain fried by a giant memory machine before I can do some good.

How do you know there is no such thing as objective reality?
Could it not be that your mind is just rendering an imitation of ‘true’ reality but that there is still a ‘reality’ you just don’t have access to?

Reality ain’t real man. It’s all just like an illusion.
Aren’t you that soulist guy? Why don’t you move to another dimension if this one is so bad?
No, that’s not me. I’m an enby, not a guy. You must have me confused with some male-identifying soulist.
I’m sorry. But still, why don’t you move to another universe?
