No, I don't watch South Park. Seriously, bye now.
I only brought that up because after one of the kids is told the tooth fairy is fake by his parents he begins to question the truth of all things, including his own existance. Its also said that there could be infinate alternate realities for every reality.

Reality is what we see, hear, smell and perceive. Tell me, do you perceive? Then your senses tell you what is around you. Would your senses lie to you? Why would we be in a hallucination? And why should we care? There's no way of breaking out.

Let's say this. A=The world we perceive. B=The possible "real" world that we do not perceive. Now, we do know that A=A through normal perception. We do not know if A=B, cause we have no concrete evidence that B even exists. But we have no evidence that disproves it. So we do know that A exists in our perspective which we all share (if A is the true one). And since we have no knowledge about if B even exists, why linger around it? We can either think all life about what could be, or look around and use what we see that we have in our own reality. There's no point in thinking about it. A could be equal to B, but we have no use of it, since we can't reach B. However, we can still believe that B exists(I like to believe that "B" is the alternate universe of God), but since B is outside our reach in A, we might as well just accept A until we die, and see if B is real or just let our atoms fly through cosmos.

Reality must be real, because i doubt my mind can come up with a whole complex world with complex laws of physics and thousands of years of history and everything else in the world. I'm just not that smart.

Quite a few people in this thread seem to miss the point of this thread. Badly.

My answer is; yes, for me, at the moment.
Given that reality is simply what one consciousness can define through its own sensory input, anyway.

Unless you, before the birth of your current consciousness, consciously limited your intelligence to enjoy the world you crafted without knowing how it came to be.

Hmm... Reality. We all hate bits of it (go on, admit it), but now I have throughly confused myself. Is any of this real? Is it all a dream? Are we all just figments of imagination? Or am I just talking shit? I don't know...

Anyway, we could be real or might not be. I am now confused.
Thanks Morpheus, now go find Neo so you can take down the Agents.
Wow, ain't you an arsehole.
This concept existed long before those green-tinted films, you know. Same goes with badass longcoats.

No, I'm to cocky a bastard to do something like that. I'd remain the smartest man in the world and blow people up who annoy me with my mind.

I like how the OP says absolutely nothing in his post about the topic. Pray tell, what is your theory or are you just being a parrot of a long running thought?

EDIT

People are still mimicking things they have heard? Reality is the state of something being real (actual fact and not imaginary). We live in a world of solid matter and organics. They are in constant shape with physics, restrictions, and are factual. This is what reality means.

Now for the OP, what the hell do you mean?! I would still love an expanded theory of what you are talking about.

Solipsism is a confusing philosophical idea yes, but I still believe this is all real, because I just do.

I have my own overly complicated theories about the non-existence of reality, but I don't feel like sharing my crazy right now.

Unless you already did that and got bored of it.

How could you possible get bored of blowing people up with your mind? And even if you did, there are a lot of other pretty awesome things to do when your the all powerful creator of the universe.

I don't think it really matters if it's "all real" what matters is the relevance of things and how important it is.
