    Also, I think you may have chosen "Reality is what we perceive", but you're clearly arguing for the other choice - that reality exists absolutely, regardless of our minds.

      This is harder than I thought to try to convey!

      I believe psychosomatic medicine may provide a reliable, scientific instance in which perception is reality.

      I'm still thinking on this, I have another example that I am trying to put into words, although there's not exactly science behind it. It would be 100% opinion.

        Well, everything that we're talking about here is purely conceptual, so it's all opinion. Nothing wrong with that.

          I know but I feel like even more of a moron if I can't proove anything I say! I'm terrible at explaining things as it is.

      No, I picked both/neither. I think mainly, reality exists, different beings percieve it to different degrees but it doesn't change reality. There is a small area of perception that is reality, but I can't explain it, right now anyway. Tomorrow, I promise!
