But how do you define it Revan..What is real in your words in your world...think. Free your mind.

Well Morph, it's hard to define.

Real in bog standard for would mean existant. I don't class stuff I can't sense as non-existant, because senses can't pick up alot of things. I don't class stuff I'm not aware of as non-existant in most cases, unless provable, because there's too much we don't understand as a race and I don't understand as a person, with regards to the infinity and the eternal.

yea its morpheus's line so..lol

who doesn't know that.

you get a cookie. im just messin' around alpha, jeeeez lol

I hate it when you take me so seriouslylol, lighten up buddy.

I say real means something that is there something we see or hear or can touch.That is real.jm

the truth? nah that dont quite work

I don't know if you can really define it...Because I don't know if there is really something called real, unless it is only the one precise moment that is NOW. And then after that is not real anymore.. 😑

Real is something that exists, in the physical sense.

I do think, and my thoughts on the word "real" happen to be about the same as the dictionary definition, coincidentally.

Real=existant. The difficult part comes when you have no proof of an object's existance. ie, if it existed in the past but there was no physical documentation made of its existance. It still existed, but the human brain is very easily persuaded otherwise.

Can be many meanings to it!

Something to can't touch can be real.... But what about your soul?

You're wrong. I can't touch childhood memories of a pet, for example, but they're still real. That or somebody's been ****ing with my brain.

Congrats, you can quote the Matrix.

I no longer can define real, everything seems so unreal I lost concept of reality...

if i do a turd in the bog at work...and then leave the scene without disposing of the body...and then someone comes up a little later and says.."jesus ****ing holy christ on a bike...there's a turd in the bog that could kill an elephant"...then i know its definitely real

^very unpleasant

The word Nothing is a much harder word to define then the word real...

Explain Real If you Can

Can you explain what "Real" is...

Hope this wasn't done before.

Ok, if you can't explain real, then explain hyper dimensional warp systems.

'Real' is something that has a varifiable existence. In philosophical terms, it is the notion of existing objectively in the world regardless of subjectivity or conventions of thought or language.
