    Thanks for asking! A school of anarchist thought that views reality and natural laws as unjust hierarchies. I seek an end to the belief in objective reality. https://soulism.net/

    ah i see.

    well, actually my believe is that reality is just a subset of all that is (in german: die Realität ist eine Teilmenge der Wirklichkeit).

    the word "real" comes from latin "res" meaning "a thing that can be touched, a thing that is measurable, a thing that can be discussed in court". therefore it brings with it the notion of objectivity. it should be noted that many things are not objective. for example, if a thieve steals your diary, is then caught but cannot reproduce the diary because they lost it; you would only be entitled to the material value of the book (paper, binding) but not the sentimental value of what was inside it; only the physical book is real, not your sentimental value towards it.

    anyways, the notion of reality is stabilized by notions of justice and productivity, because both imply a sense of reality. you cannot have justice if an impartial judge cannot objectively determine the value of something; and no factory would be efficient at producing goods if it didn't have a good understanding of physics (which studies reality), i.e. the physics of machinery.

    therefore, the notion of reality can only be dropped once we stop seeking productivity and justice, which can only happen once we stop being eager and just give up and let the world rule us, instead of the other way around.

    I think we can have law and physics without reality.

    We can use the scientific method in a subjective reality, by documenting that these laws hold true given these beliefs. All we're doing is adding belief as one of our controlled (or independent) variables.

    uhm good luck with that

    physics typically doesn't budge just because you believe it will. at least that's basically everyone's experience with it. but you try anyways, maybe it some day will.

    Absolutely everything has an exception except "absolute" not being able to be absolute about absolutely everything.

    So, in the end, Psy, hence it is just perspective on what matters from an excessive volume of waving that direction. Then, the Cosmic Owl will get back with their conjoined dream eating wyrm brother and then more fee us like to hear from will get us getting it again, and that pizza will be handled with a bit more of a dye it can make sense of, for us.

    Belief is for children to learn about having a base before they have any such at all...yet. After that, it's theory or else equivalent to delireligious.

    To that, I believe in nothing. I know it doesn't exist because it's just a word saying exactly such. However, to say that "nothing doesn't exist" is like dividing zero. Trying going to church and say it and if you get to watching religious folk freak out about it then you can get what I mean saying that they're like those saying Batman was the "good guy" and just don't get it. Probably, cuz all their Mani Mani came from their "upstairs."

    I mean, I watched Wash be "a leaf on the wind" and...or...well...yeah. It's cool with coming back and making 'em all freak out and shit and they didn't even have to add multi to that 'verse...iykwim...lmk...cuz I got all the comics, books, and board games (assuming BOOM! didn't pick it back up again; having done the same damn thing fox did).

    Okay, So I know it probably seems like I'm stomping around on a little imaginary mountain here but that is literally exactly what I'm doing because I'm a Taurus on the cusp of Aries. Do, please, understand that I don't mean to cause or even infer any sense of pain. If I had any propane it would be to rock me math, iykwim. This is why I checked all your boxes except casual conversations. I am just past DA's 6x9 age, and still don't understand the inference of the notion. DGMW, I can watch it happen (plenty of shows), get the notion of the idea in concept, but not in my reality can I ever manifest it. Even when I do, it's for some real visible purpose even if such occurrence only reveals the blind.

    Anyway, enough two buy four now so I'mma stop before my essay becomes six or seven books and a half and everyone just assumes I'm garbage complete meaningless because I have enough odd Glob dimensions rambling comical Ledger to me, even.
