Realize Real Lies Real Eyes
I don’t understand how fake eyes could make mirrors fake. There are lots of people who have fake eyes and mirrors still work.
I suppose he might be working from the assumption of hard solipsism, but in that case why would you worry about the mirrors being real when you’re already assuming every observation of reality is a hallucination?
Consider the phrase “be real with me” colloquially means “be honest with me”. Also “real talk”, “your real self”, etc.
How can mirrors be honest if our eyes aren’t honest?
Kid wasn’t wrong, in fact, was quite right. People are in denial about their outward appearances never mind other things) all the time. People with anorexia see themselves as overweight when they may actually be dangerously underweight. People think they’re ugly when they’re not. (Conversely, may think they’re really hot about when they’re not.)
I feel kinda bad for wills children. Imagine you are in front of the whole world while growing up. Plus you get groomed to be a “star” so from the start your values and worldview are skewed.
All of us did and sad stupid shit while growing up. That’s part of the process. But it wasn’t broadcasted.
That said I still think being that rich is a crime against humanity and those people should give away most of their money.
WAT
