"But just because I have an interest in transcendentalist discussion doesn't necessarily denote any belief on my part in transcendentalism."
yeah, I get you here.. the mistake is on my part (what was that about my being a logical person? hehe)
to come to speak of the "what is real?"-question, here again I get your point (hmm.. can't outwit you as easily as I thought.. kidding)
Anyways, I have this one theory of mine (sorta theory) concerning reality. Suppose there is a deeper reality than our senses (the basic 5 of them) can perceive - or let's have it the logical way because a "deeper reality" is in a way a contradicting expression (if it's a reality already, no need for it to be deeper.. hehe) but what I meant here was the absolute reality (is that expression adequate enough? trying to be precise and logical here.. hehe) --- btw. being precise and logical is a demanding quality, just look at the lenght of my message..hehe ---
So, we set off from the thesis that there is an absolute reality. Now imagine, we couldn't ever get behind the way of uncovering it - for example because of our natural predispositions, i.e our senses (whatever their number). And I ask you: would it really matter to know that all we see, smell, taste, touch and hear is a stimulation of reality (or: a distant shadow of reality - however you want to name it) if all the others didn't know it (although this isn't a major argument here and I think that maybe it would be worth to know the truth for the price of being an "outcast") and more importantly, if you couldn't ever get in touch with that reality because of lack of appriopiate "tools", i.e. additional senses. And another question arises: again, would it matter if your actions found their consequences in this pseudo-reality (=stimulation of reality/ distant shadow of reality) and you could perfectly function in this pseudo-reality (which we do, btw.). Of course I am aware that this theory (based on an assumption of a futuristic vision of a new, absolute reality) is not absolutely correct and even I have arguments that speak against it -- which btw is my (and I suppose not only my) constant quality/curse(?), i.e. doubting my own theories an so on, so practically when you criticize my viewpoints I've already done it in my mind while I was creating them - do you also happen to have this "logical confusion" in your head??
