Re: Is this real?
Im not sure how being emperical would help :-/
Sure you can base reality on observation. But their are two problems with this.
1. You could be in an altered state of mind, in this case your brain perceives things that arent actualy there. (You might perceive a rock, but its not actaully there. Rocks exist, but the rock you perceive doesnt)
2. You could be decieved. (You are tricked into believe that their is a rock, but in reality it is a piece of cheese (so the saying goes) Rocks exist, but you are being tricked into believe that the peice of cheese is a specific rock).
