Well I wasn’t going to go here, but what the heck? Why not? I find it helpful to define our terms clearly in discussions like this. When you refer to the world that you are sure I found, what exactly do you mean? I’m assuming you have a very precise definition this "world" because you sound 100% certain that I not only found it when I stepped outside my door, but that I interact within it every day. In what way was Einstein misleading people when he uttered those words about reality being a persistent illusion? (If he in fact uttered those words.)
