Radio Paradise

I have spent some time around pigs and I, for one, do not want to live in a world where pigs can fly. You could never go out without a raincoat and a helmet and we would all have to do a lot more yard and roof maintenance. So, if what you're telling me is that alien pigs can fly - then we need to develop some kind of giant, anti-pig ray gun to protect Earth. This is getting out of hand. Reality sucks.

Spare us your unadulterated bullsh!t. Reality, clearly, bites...

True, but you're still within the box.

(to elucidate, I think our box currently extends back to the big bang and contains everything within our event horizon since then... our powers of deduction might expand the size of the box a little i guess in a kind of "brick/foot/pain => brick is real" kind of way. It is important to remember that reality is a concept, admittedly a concept we use to refer to things that are independent of our powers of perception but nevetheless it is still a concept and as such it changes over time. For instance flying pigs are conceivable but not real. Were we however to discover a planet with flying pigs, then they would move into our concept of what is real. Things that are conceivable but not yet substantiated are not commonly considered real even though they might well be).

Reality is the moment in which you exist right now. Your past and the future are just stories you make up about those moments.

Perhaps it can be defined by what it is not. (or so this guy said)

Personal reality is the trajectory we trace on the swings and roundabouts of life. For some people its very flat.
