Yes in your little world view this is how things work :) But lets step into the real world and work with what we are given we can play Descarte's silly mental games all day long but they aren't getting us anywhere closer to scientific truth. Of course that is the last place you want to go. Truth would be a bitter pill.

"Of course that is the last place you want to go. Truth would be a bitter pill. "

how do you know what "truth" is? if you truly follow Einsteins theories (Big Bang is a brain child of his) you would also follow that ALL things are realative. that does not only apply to trains and noises, but ideas and yes, the truth.

as for playing "silly mental games" you assume that the truth can be found in one aspect of reality? it seems you need to develope a little. our mental prowess is how we develop any theory. and as i say, a theory isnt "fact" becasuse there is always an "if". you don't solely look into one aspect of being, or you miss the entire picture of being.
