Depends on what you define as "reality". Everything that is "real" to you is defined by your observations of it. The only thing you can be completely sure of is your own existence at some point, somewhere, which implies a reality outside your own consciousness, but beyond that, you can't really be sure of anything. So, for all intents and purposes, yes, your perception is your reality, since you can't be sure anything or anyone else really exists.

Seems to be that way.

>>8262829

Yes.

Metaphysics is founded on the specious notion that our sensory perception does not perceive the 'reality' of things - for whatever reason.

We perceive things as they actually are, and the thing-in-itself as it actually is, until proven otherwise.

The burden of proof is on metaphysicians with their retarded 'art'.

no, it is the raw material for its building.

I made this rare Pepe for you my friend.

>>8262829
For us? Yes.

For something else? Not necessarily.

Quantum physics dictate that something that is not observed may or may not exist, so the fact you can see something, hear something or feel something means it is observed, and really exists.
