How do bubble-realities come into existence?
We know it has to do with the difficulty of accepting real-reality.
But what exactly creates this difficulty?
And what exactly is bubble-reality?
Would you agree that bubble-reality refers to conclusions (regarding the unknown) that are a product of very specific pattern of reasoning?
A pattern of reasoning that starts with the conclusion and then looks for evidence that supports it while ignoring the evidence that contradicts it?
A pattern of reasoning, which strictly speaking is not a reasoning considering how unreasonable it is, where premises are dependent values and conclusions are independent values?
A pattern of reasoning often referred to as ad hoc rationalization and top-down thinking?
The question is: why do people “think” in this way?
What’s the reason?
You can say because their pattern of reasoning has degenerated . . . in other words, they no longer know – they forgot – how to think.
But is this a cause or a consequence?
I think that this kind of reasoning is a product of inertia.
It’s a product of habits that are too strong.
These habits then, due to their strength, lead to the degeneration of thought.
Let’s say you have some goal and you have some means you think would help you reach this goal.
Then one day you realize, thanks to your reason, that your means won’t work.
What do you do?
Do you accept this and then adjust accordingly?
Or do you deny it by ridiculing reality? by accusing it of being deceptive?
When you’re used to doing things certain way then it becomes difficult to break out of the pattern when it becomes necessary to do so.
Either way, this isn’t exactly the subject of the topic.
But I’m responding to your point because I want to show that it is the pattern of reasoning that is problematic and not whether you think there is reality or not.
That is a consequence.
Again, what there is are patterns of reasoning.
The concept of reality, in most cases, is meaningless.
