    I don't subscribe to dualities unless they affect me directly it seems.

    (I'm not fond of "right and wrong". "Insightful" or "accurate" can be more satisfying than "being right" . )

    This is the myth that worries you?

    A long winded way of saying you know you are wrong but are OK with it because it feel right even though you know it isn't.

    Like we all subscribe to the same reality as you. You know that isn't true. At least I can admit my different outlook.
    Even though it feels right for me, it is right for me. I know you think you know the sort of person I am, but you don't.

    But now it seems you are trusting your thoughts that 'I cannot and should not trust my thoughts'. 😛

    Nope. Way before my time. Any good?

    There is only one reality and it doesn't get 'subscribed to'. You know that isn't true.
    If you want to maintain such a ridiculous position then please tell me how to unsubscribe from gravity, because I would really like to know.

    At least I can admit my different outlook.
    Your error is to think your outlook is reality then falsely accuse me of not recognising people have different outlooks by couching it in words that actually mean something else.

    Even though it feels right for me, it is right for me. I know you think you know the sort of person I am, but you don't.
    Why do you think I think I know the sort of person you are? I think you think you know what I am thinking but you don't.

    No, I do not trust them. You are having trouble following aren't you? I accept the argument not 'trust' the thoughts. There is a difference. I generally do not go in for the whole 'trust' thing.

    You accept the argument because you supposedly put some thought into it. Thoughts that you supposedly don't trust.

    You seem to conflate defensiveness with hearty chat.

    I am participating in the latter.

    There is only one reality, however there are over 7 billion versions of it. These versions are so ingrained that some will suicide for their ideas.
    People who fly unsubscribe from reality. Same with people that astral travel. Even dreamers and day dreamers.

    I guess the only way to say whether they are right or not is third party witnesses

    You will note the earlier I have described 'reality' as a paradox or oxymoronic.
    I believe this is a more accurate way of looking at the world (as opposed to saying "one reality fits all" )

    I'm truly sorry if I got you wrong, but from my end it seems you have put me in an idealogical box. (Not directly, but you have hinted at it a few times)

    I know what you're not thinking. you're not considering (let alone contemplating my ideas), you are devising plot holes in my theory and finding the best ways to put them to me and the forum.
