i want a book deal

i'm just going to come out and say it.

i believe in an objective reality. an absolute truth. God. the original source. oreos and milk.

call it what you want (a rose by any other name...), but i believe that there is something that exists independent of my sensal perception of it.

that's the crux. independent of mine--or anyone's--sensal perception of it.

example. on the other side of the galaxy there is an alien race that has a clothing design that we cannot even fathom as humans. now, because we have no direct knowledge of it, does that keep it from existing?

i say NO with a force to shake the heavens.

simple non-experience or non belief in regards to a concept does not negate the existence of such a concept.

now, i'm not claiming that i know what the absolute Truth or what the objective Reality is. that is not my concern or is it even a relevant point. i am making the claim that there is an objective concept that exists indepedent of sensal perception by the only known consciousness in the universe--ours.

if you say i'm wrong, that there is not an Ultimate Reality, the only things that exists are the things we sense, then i make the claim that i sense the Absolute Truth and therefore it exists. (weak argument? yes, but it's all i got for now.)

how many people don't believe in an objective, ultimate, absolute reality (no matter what's it called)?

can something exist without your knowing it or even without your capacity to know it?
i say yes.
