Ok, i'm really sorry.

What i'm trying to say is that reality might be way bigger than our means of percieving it.

Now i'll shut the fuck up for a while.

indeed

as a thought-experiment, let's assume the opposite: at no point along the line what you are sensing has any basis in reality.

lol

if that would be reality, it's fucking useless and i want nothing to do with it

if it doesnt even have the simple decency to form a basis for my senses, i'm gonna give that so-called reality all the consideration it's due

The only way you can percieve the world is trought your concepts, and even if you create theese concept or they are just induction. what you choose to believe is your reality.
So yes it is fucking useless, but cool. SO JUST LET GO!

If thats the case however, why does it matter?  You cannot step outside your own senses in order to verify your own experiences, so endless navel-gazing speculation is a waste of time, because you will never come to a satisfactory conclusion, unless you accept that at some point along the line what you are sensing at least seems to have a basis in reality.

I don't believe in conclusions, i dont believe in meaning and i dont feel sad about it. :P
Besides, whatever i experience is reality, but what i make of it, and my preconceptions about everything is useless and incorrect. I have no idea of what is going on.
But i presume that i percieve. And, like, whatever... To answer your question: For me, it doesnt matter, the barstool might not exist in the way we percieve it, and i dont know if it is reality i see, or my concept of a barstool. So who cares if solid objects can cause destruction if energy is applied? is it not way cool that the solid object may not be solid, or maybe even dont exist, but still have the ability to rearrange limbs.

Aw fuck, i dont know what i'm saying anymore, or why this post ended up to be about me.
Ill post it anyway.

Why exclude "normal" when all our other fantastic made up concepts roam and rape freely?
You racist.

What's the point of opening yourself up to flights of intellectual whimsey if it ends up with you drawing firm conclusions about a world that doesn't match the one you're actually living in?

There were no firm conclusions in the story as i understood it. besides, i believe that all firm conclusions about any world or about anything does not match reality at all, and if it does it is purely by accident. All the things we see, touch or sense in any way might just our body making a suggestion to our brains that reacts in the manner it has been conditioned to react.

Or: fuckitidontknow :(  <-- The only honest words i've ever spoke. beat me with a chair and i suppose it hurts...

Oroa dig ej, om du andas djupt ett tag så återvänder allt till det normala.

I hope you plan on sharing with the class. 

It means: Worry not, if you breathe deeply for a while everything turns back to normal.

Yeah, but so is being ugly.
So is calling the name of Satan in a (bar)church
Even hitting people with barstools encourage people to smack you with barstools.

But seriously, the pretentious bastards seemed to be the only "neophiles" in the story.
Say whatever about sticking to your own BS, but they just couldnt have been BORN with the ideas they were discussing, and whatever if their beliefs are irrelevent, cause they wery well might be, the BarStool man totally stuck to his BS and BS'd the S out of those poor guys.

I don't see how smacking some self-important prick with a barstool is any different than a Zen Master whacking a n00b with his staff.

I think the motives might differ but i would have to ask the barstool guy, besides, what's wrong with being pretentious?

The moral of the story is: Don't get caught up in your rhetoric and flights of intellectual fantasy so much that you forget about what's going on around you.

I just love being a dick :(
