      @Language and Programming Channel what do you mean by "ideas" in this context? Do you mean this in a solipsistic sense?
      If we believe in the abilities of other minds, then we should also be able to agree on things that are ubiquitous and independent of any observer - aka objective. Like measurements of matter.

    Thank you for another video asking yet another of the fundamental questions - this one on what is “real”?
    My view briefly is this. What is “real”? What is “ultimate reality”? What is “truth”?
    The answers to these and many other related type questions (which were the subject of other of your videos, by the way) in my view depend on:
    A. Definition: How the word or category is defined by us;
    B. Subjectivity: Our subjective consciousness-filtered experience; and
    C. Philosophy: The philosophical base or predicate from where we start.
    A few quotes (real and extrapolated) to ponder on the question of what is “real”:
    1. “Row, row, row your boat . . . Life is but a dream.” Children’s song
    2. “The world is Maya (illusion or delusion).” Hindu philosophy
    3. “The three-dimensional world of ordinary experience-the universe filled with galaxies, stars, planets, houses, boulders, and people-is a hologram, an image of reality coded on a distant two-dimensional surface.” Leonard Susskind on the Holographic Principle.
    4. “Are we living in a computer simulation?” Nick Bostrum on The Simulation Hypothesis
    5. “Philosophy is dead!” Stephen Hawking, The Grand Design
    “That, sir, is itself a philosophy!”, George Ellis

      @@jmzorko I posit that in order to introduce his external and perfect categories Plato destroyed man's trust in his own perception. This split the Self into Persona and Shadow. The Shadow, postulated by Nietzsche, is always seen as hostile, the Black horse of Plato. The Persona is indoctrinated to believe in what society believes in. But as this indoctrination remains external to the individual, the individual sees the indoctrination as an imposition, a burden, something alien to the individual. Something that triggers irrationality in many many people.

    Anyone who questions reality is thinking too much. Foremost, the one self is the most fundamental reality, like Descartes said, “I think therefore I am.” The world around us, from quantum particles to galaxies, are quite real because for every action or inaction there are consequences- it’s a fundamental principle as gravity, energy, and time.

    I heard Mr. Kuhn more than once say he wants to explore different thoughts and he stays in the Western Thought process. Mr. Kuhn if you are reading these comments explore Eastern thought and a lot will change if you are capable of letting go. Example read Zen in the Art of Archery by Eugen Herrigel.

      As suggested I would like to have more of Buddhist perspective than Veda/Hindu as Buddhism blatantly rejects Vedic basic principles, creation, creator god, a union with him (Brahma), trans migratory soul/athma, rebirth, rituals, born into social divisions such as jathis/varna/caste, pantheon of gods etc. Even though Buddha was born in the Subcontinent it has a unique outset against vedas. In fact Buddha rejected all of Vedic teachings. Even the terms and language is similar as Pali/Prakirti (the language of common people Buddha used by rejecting Sanskrit which the upper caste Brahmin used) is has roots in Sanskrit

Some do not believe in a deity or deities.

      Facts are not truths. But more importantly truth is not a fact. Facts are what historians and journalists deal with. These are pieces of information that we can reach agreement on because they can be independently corroborated. They include things like births, deaths, times, places, and other corroborateable phenomena whose definitions we agree on.
      Science deal with phenomena whose definition are agreed upon, but whose "facts" are called measurement, methodology and models. The "facts" of science are not the same as the facts of journalists because science tweaks their measurements, methodologies and models. A journalist cannot tweak the time and place of a birth or death; that would change their facts. The phenomena that science mostly deals with are not as readily corroborateable. The corroborations of science require apparatus of measurement, equations of methodology and salience of modeling.
      Anyone who thinks that opinions are facts or that scientific predictions are facts is not telling the whole story. Scientists aren't prophets, politicians aren't scientists and journalists who can't tell the difference between the two aren't disseminating news they're spreading propaganda.
      The best science can predict some things accurately. But not all things are prone to accurate prediction. Some things are too complex, like weather. Beyond the 10 day forecast weather has too many variables to predict accurately.
      Some things are simply the result of a manageable amount of variables and those predictions can be precise. Judging which type scientists have on their hands is a before the fact guessing game and an after the fact blame game.
      Science is only as good as its measurements, methodologies and models. If any one of those three are off their predictions will be off. By a little or a lot.
      In a few years we will know the truth of the matter and we can judge better if this really was a postfact age or a guerilla journalism age or simply a shell game meant to confuse our enemies.

    Trees for the forest. Forest for the Trees. We cannot just say what is fundamental because it ignores the complicated. And similarly vice-versa. For instance 'love' is fundamentally made up of quantum particles, of quarks, or superstrings and so on. But it is also the inter-play between those units creating a very complex whole! I think it ultimately boils down to..."What was the question again?". Perhaps it isn't reality that requires enquiry, it should really be the enquirer!?

    7:42 "there's so many objects you wouldn't even believe it, and we just notice a few of them"
    I'd say this is especially accurate with quantum entanglement & non-locality; sounds like potentially infinite categories. I'm guessing that the 'amount' we don't "see" is immense. lots and lots of patterns out there and lots and lots of patterns in here.
    I wonder which came first, the 'blueprint' or the 'object;' or maybe Alfred North Whitehead was right, and there's a lot of co-creation of actual occasions. so many "ideas" so much "time"...and if it's block time with infinite permanent actual entities, would they have hard or fuzzy edges?
    I think I'm an adder, and probably wouldn't make a very good Buddhist. I like the idea of believing there is a real spoon out there which my finite perspective can prehend at least one of many real 'ways' that it actually is; it leaves open the possibility of endless exploration even though there's less certainty about the thing in itself....*queue the theme song from the original Star trek here*

    To me, so many answers to questions like this depend on the definitions involved. What is meant by the words "Things" and "Real". Things, seems really vague. A bundle of properties? Maybe. To me, things are items that may or may not be tangible and are recognizable. A thing may or may not be real. Real to me, are things that have at least some evidence that supports it's existence. Real includes things like matter, energy, patterns and thoughts.

    Conclusion about our true identity from various internet sources, that "We are all One Consciousness" for the following reasons:
    1. In this world everything must have a cause, so that something exists because of something else, so do we.
    2. It would be very boring / boring if our physical form is only one in this world.
    3. It would be very tedious / boring if all humans have the exact same physical form / behavior.
    4. Try to imagine emptying all the physical things around us, leaving only the humans, then eliminating all the humans, leaving only the memories, then erasing all the memories, leaving only the consciousness, then connecting the consciousness, feel who we are ??.
    5. Body, mind, feelings, emotions and everything else in this world is always changing, then what never changes ??, that is who we really are, namely true consciousness. If everything changes / moves who is watching, there must be someone who remains to be able to observe.
    6. All humans communicate with each other is the beginning / the forerunner of humans to unite, today's electronic devices alone can unite all humans, one day the device is implanted in the human mind and in the end humans will open all access to their thoughts.
    7. Our bodies are a collection / heap of accumulated memories that were carried from the beginning of the birth of the world's first human through DNA bonds continuously.
    8. Twins born at close range, what if all humans were born at the same time? What would happen if the birth of all humans were not influenced by the dimensions of space and time ??
    9. Identical twins of A and B, if all of A's memories are copied to B, what is the difference ??
    10. Law of attraction (law of attraction) that our minds will attract whatever we think, because we are all like one part of the body.
    11. Like several video recordings of ourselves, there are videos as vocalists, videos as violinists, as pianists, as drummers, etc. These videos are put together in one video, it will produce a more interesting orchestra, something new and more productive. our world.
    12. The greatest enemy of man is himself, currently man is at war against himself. By believing we are all one, the sense of ego will fade because nothing is different between us.
    13. That is why religious teachings command us to be grateful and benefit many,
    If you hurt others, you are actually hurting yourself, so if you are doing good to others, you are actually doing good to yourself.
    14. Could it be that we are all dreaming and our dreams are meeting each other on the same frequency in parallel. Have you ever dreamed that when you sleep you switch roles as other people, it's because we are all one.
    15. We are not immortal as humans so that we have time to roll through all of life.
    16. "We are not human beings having a spiritual experience. We are spiritual beings having a human experience" ~ Stephen Covey, Have you ever felt that our lifespan is very short, is it possible that our consciousness is immortal?.
    17. We are one, only the roles are different, the memory divider between lives is what makes humans feel different / separate. It is enough by brainwashing / erasing one's memory that someone will become a different person but their awareness is still the same.
    18. What is fortunate for us is ... consciousness is always looking for / looking for / having the intention / desire towards good / positive / happiness even though we have experienced various wrong ways.
    19. When we die, our body and memory are destroyed, how can we remember having died.
    20. Why do we have to die? ", When we say dead, one day this eternal question will be asked again and we are always there." The world is a sustainable life "~ Bruce Lipton.
    21. In the beginning we were one, but split through a big bang or bigbang until we became different and separated like now, but we are equipped with a sense of love for us to reunite.
    22. There is only us and a mirror of ourselves in this world, but there is still another world out there.
    23. We will always smile happily seeing each person as himself "How beautiful I am" see the different self.
    24. If all consciousness is told now that they are all one, whether the experience gained is enough, the consciousness is designed from the beginning to be different so that there is a lot of intrigue, consciousness is created differently so that when it comes together to have an extraordinary experience of consciousness.
    25. We are alone in this universe, but there are many other universes with their own natural laws.
    26. Have you ever felt that you have come to a place that has never been visited but feel familiar with that place, as if we have lived in that place sometime?.
    27. The world is like a story script that is being written by the author, sometimes it is changed at the beginning, sometimes it is changed in the middle, sometimes it is changed at the end, it all depends on us as writers, and every story has a lesson that can be taken as a lesson.
    28. Hair grows by itself, heart beats on its own, blood flows by itself, ideas arise by itself, etc., are we involved ??.
    29. Imagine that today there has been an event that causes only you to live in this world, then who were all those yesterday ??.
    30. "If Quantum Mechanism cannot surprise you, then you don't understand Quantum Physics yet. Everything that we have thought to be real, is not real." ~ Niels Bohr.
    31. On the scale of quantum physics we are all connected to each other, even in double-slit experiments proving that particles change when observed or in other words consciousness can change reality, this has been proven time and time again by the Nobel Prize winners in Physics.
    32. Everything we experience by our senses in the end will only be electrical impulses in the brain, is everything real ??. We are beings who are aware that we are conscious.
    33. We are closer than the jugular vein.
    He blew some of His spirit on you.
    Knowing oneself means knowing its God.
    Surely we will return to HIM. You are far away, I am far away, you are near me.
    I am everywhere.
    Before the existence of this world there was no matter other than Him.
    There is only One True Spirit, namely the Creator.
    I live up to your preconceptions.
    34. Is the creator only in charge of creating, is it possible that the creator does not want to try his creation through another perspective.
    35. There is no reincarnation, it is possible that our consciousness is synchronized, our consciousness is divided by the speed of light so that consciousness can move and divide rapidly through energy, and that's why we need sleep, that's why we are often not aware of something, that's why the size of the earth is reached by the speed of light so that consciousness is divided quickly and evenly, we are like some chess pieces played by a player, that's why if we move at the speed of light, then we can penetrate the dimensions of space and time, when we die we wake up and regain consciousness as long as there are humans who live in this world.
    36. Have you ever had a problem and suddenly someone came to provide a solution to the problem we were experiencing, as if someone was sent by the universe to help us in overcoming the problem, which is actually our own consciousness that sends that person to us.
    37. A thousand years ago, have people seen, heard and wondered about the advancement of technology today? If we all tend to sin (corruption) then there will be a world of hell, if we all tend to do good things then it will become a heavenly world.
    38. Knowledge learns the object, God who created our consciousness, cannot God be the object of knowledge.
    39. It is impossible for a human creation that is only in the form of words / symbols to represent true truth.
    40. What is the meaning of existence without consciousness? then we are the adventurers of this existence.
    41. The life of the world is just a game and a joke, what wins the world game is the one who finds his true self.
    42. When the world's existence ends we will know everything.
    43. My consciousness is living a very extraordinary life experience, experiencing life with different forms and different places even though my consciousness is always the same, wow .. I'm surprised !! how broad am I.
    44. We are a consciousness, a concept that can answer various things.
    45. Remember when you were leaving, you were worried you would lose me ??, calm down .. I was everywhere and we will always meet again, believe me.
    46. ​​Without searching, what is the difference between us in this world and us in a dream during sleep which just passes by without meaning.
    47. In conclusion, whatever role we play, everything is our own design, so just enjoy it.
    48. God created us to be happy, so don't disappoint God.
    49. Congratulations, because all of you need proof, this is the SECRET that we are one, by we can see the other person's awareness of what he is seeing, close your eyes in a quiet place, focus your awareness on that person, so that awareness is not affected by our imagination, erases all our imaginations, practice continuously until the time comes when our awareness can see the consciousness of others, preferably people we already know.

    A thing is a clump of matter that exists in space-time and has mass. Therefore, a thing exists only in the physical world.
    Reality is always subjective. There must necessarily be a consciousness to perceive what is real. In other words, something is real when we apprehend it with our minds using our senses.
    Reality is always a projection, from the immaterial realm to the material world.

    I think everything is just variation of energy and vibration. Because anything what came into our existence can be made out of these two alone. Be it an object, an emotion, a smell, or a sound. It's all waves of vibration spreading through space at different energy levels.
    And there's also consciousness which for most people complicates things even further. It is not within us, or the brain where science is looking for it. It's the other way around. The world around us, and everything we know of, and what and how we experience it, is contained within the consciousness. Strange world we live in today, heh?
