Reality is a Shared Hallucination (1997)

The reality constructed in our brains is not substantially different from actual reality. Our mental model of reality is just much lower fidelity. At no point has physics demonstrated "wow, humans are totally wrong about the world".

>Different sensors would have a different result

All of our experience with robotics suggests otherwise.

Now you're being facetious. Good joke though.

I meant DIFFERENT sensors, not the same version of the same sensor. You are telling me a sensor for microwaves gets the same result as one for different wavelengths? Good god. And that's actually related sensors, then there's touch, smell etc.
