Is reality just electrical signals interpreted by our brain?

And are you agreeing that things that are *real* per the definition exist, or the counterpoint that nothing exists?

At the moment, I'm simply refuting the claim that no one is attempting to work on a definition. wuliheron seems to be basing his arguments on that falsehood and on argument fallacies, such as: since philosophers haven't agreed on it, it can't be done.It is a shame that I have been unable to prevent this discussion from devolving into argument and derisive sarcasm. That's a terrible way for a thread to go but it's probably a fatal wound by now. Perhaps it should be closed. Pity.

It is a shame that I have been unable to prevent this discussion from devolving into argument and derisive sarcasm. While it may have led somewhere, it's been soiled badly. Perhaps it should be closed.

I just don't see a discussion of real vs not real here. Not that there would be any value in such a discussion, it's nothing more than spewing personal opinions. And if you think you're not real, then what is there to argue about? You're not real, right?

I think we can safely assume per the definition of real that we are real by our own definition.

This thread has gone nowhere, so I am closing it.

I take full responsibility for letting this go on for so long.
