I dunno, that shit feels pretty real when you're IN it.
Now THAT is a trippy idea to ponder....
As for the meaning of life, I like Ayn Rand's philosophy best....and the Greek idea of pursuing the arete. You don't owe shit to anyone but yourself, live your life for yourself and not other people, all that jazz.

I've done more than my fair share of hallucinogens, those are what made me interested in what reality really is. Of course if you take a psychotropic drug and see pink elephants you know they aren't really there lol, so I shouldn't have said "everything we experience is real" because some people like to trip, and alter reality, like me.

Real must be defined before answered.
We as humans have only perception.
My real is different than your real because reality is just a perception.
edit:
How do I know my perceptions are real?
How do decide how to perceive things?
What more do I have than my perception?
Would I have circles if I could not perceive them?
Are feelings real?
Is My Love real?

4. being actually such; not merely so-called: a real victory.

Reality is more than perception, and we sense things before we perceive them. What we sense is only a fraction of reality. Reality itself exists the same way for everyone, how you decide to perceive it may differ
Purely out of curiousity, what is your basis for this opinion?

LMAO good one twiz.
He's having a seriously abstract thought vtguy. He may be thinking what I think when I think about that. (<Say that sentence 5 times at a moderate speed.) Your existence is a floating, momentary, incidental consciousness is the vastness of 'what is'.

Wait...reptillians..isn't that the idea that some people are...reptiles? like...giant alien reptiles?

Im not sure on that, i have never read that people are reptiles.
Just the annunaki, that stuff is hella interesting. Not one doubt in my mind that ancient culture was helped by ancient astronauts.
Read the book chariots of the gods.

Thats a damn good book man. Erich Von Daniken is the shit, I love his research. It's so compelling. Not a doubt in my mind either, that's the only logical answer so far.

let's see...
As long as your perceptions go along with physical evidence you can be confident in their reality
Look at factual things that are known to be true to help you perceive them, don't rely on imagination alone.
You also have the senses, before perception you must sense. Perception is in the mind, sense happens out side the mind and sends a signal to it, to then be perceived.
Yes circles can and do exist, whether or not you may think it possible.
I'll answer the last two the same way. Your feelings and love are real, they are proven to be chemical reactions in your brain. Now whether or not they are true to your situation, only you can tell that. some people can trigger feelings and love for no reason. So sometimes it may be hard to tell whether or not your telling yourself the truth.

Rules:
In order to prevent their untimely demise, you have to convey the concept of a circle to a good person who only understands squares.
You have a stick and 20 seconds. Ready, GO!!!
Hippie hint: fill in the gaps with your own rules.
For instance, replace the word "spook" instead of "circle"
Which flavor rabbit hole would you prefer?
Solipsistic, no, some detected a filioquesqe clause or two, but nothing more.

This is true, we also see that white light is white and not as the colors that actually make up that light. Given proper tools though such as a spectroscope we can see those colors. There are also other tools we can use in "darkness" so we can see, such as thermal cameras and night vision. We are diurnal
by nature and have no need to see all forms of light.
