I would agree that we make the world as we subjectively see it.
On the other hand, there are some things when I like if I can rely on a type of the reality where I can count on that 2 times 2 would equal 4. 😉

So you feel we overlay an objective reality, with a 'sheen' of subjectivity? How do you know where the line is between the two, is it always in the same place?
Well, it would be nice if there is some mathematically correct and precise formula for that, but I'm afraid in many cases we are left just with our intuition to decide about it, not much more. 🙂 And we could still be wrong.
Yeah personally I think it moves and we have mechanisms to move it too such as mind altering drugs. That is one reason I think people find drugs compelling and addictive (aside from physical addiction).
Personally, I would always rather avoid mind altering drugs. Learning some technics to go in that direction would be much more acceptable to me.
Agreed, but even alcohol in fairly small amounts has an effect like this, it moves that harsh reality into the background just a little bit.
hahahaha - Then, I am a lucky one as I don't like alcohol too much. In overall, it simply doesn't taste good to me. Although there are few alcoholic drinks that I like, still I wouldn't drink them often as I wouldn't have that need or desire to drink them more often than I usually do.
