I didn't choose to term anti-science beliefs as reality. Society did, and then I went along with it so as not to be incomprehensible to you. If by "reality", we mean "An objectively extant world", then there's no such thing, and I oppose belief in such a thing. But if by reality we mean "The world society thinks is objectively extant", then that thing is anti-science.
It's much the same language as an atheist might use to talk about the gods. The atheist would say "If by 'the gods', you mean 'almighty beings', then there's no such thing, and I oppose belief in such a thing. But if by 'the gods', you mean 'the almighty beings society believes in', then they are anti-science.
Please don't begrudge me for accepting your premise that consensus reality is reality. It's just a matter of convenience. I cannot at the same time believe that reality is true, and that reality is what the realists believe in. I have to pick one or the other.
Cause the brain doesn't work like that, you dipshit. Didn't I say our perceptual reality is governed by cognitive laws? Cognitive laws don't allow me to just do that. Weren't you paying attention, or do you just have a kindergartener's understanding of psychology?
That which has the potential to smack you if you pretend it doesn't exist is objectively real. It is nonsense to say that that is not real or that anything else is more real than that. There is no "world society thinks is objectively extant." Society contains a lot of people who disagree on a lot of things. Scientists and supporters of trans rights are part of society.
Never said that. That's your position, isn't it? My position is that there is an objective reality that exists regardless of what people believe.
Sorry, I suppose I've only been schooled in laws that, uh, actually exist and are observable and testable. I suppose I do have a kindergartener's understanding of these magical psychic laws you've made up, I know nothing about how they supposedly work, please excuse my ignorance.
You see, denying the existence of the entire field of psychology and claiming I made it up is exactly what makes you an anti-science weirdo.
I'm familiar with psychology. Nothing about psychology suggests that it's possible to collectively reshape the physical world through thought if enough people believe hard enough. I'd love to see some academic work that supports that claim.
