<p>[QUOTE=&quot;John Anthony, post: 3706702, member: 42773&quot;]You guys have the numismatic part of this discussion wrapped up, so I&#039;m going to comment on the philosophical. The Amazon synopsis of that book Victor linked says that what we experience as reality is actually an illusion simulated by our own minds, and our simulation completely misrepresents the true nature of reality.</p><p><br /></p><p>But read to the end you find this...</p><p><br /></p><p>&quot;This revolutionary new exposition of illusion, reality, and realization is based firmly in modern cognitive, information, and physical science and in carefully analyzed direct experience and avoids anything supernatural or metaphysical.&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>This is a perfect example of contradictory post-modern methodology. In other words, the only objective reality is that <i>there is no</i> objective reality, but I can explain everything by cherry-picking modern cognitive, information, and physical science and carefully analyzing direct experience. <b>My cherry-picking is not a part of the aforementioned illusion simulated by the mind.</b></p><p><br /></p><p>(Lol)[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
