Is our ‘experience’ within the block the closest thing we can get to reality?
The experience we are living seems perfectly real to us (as long as we allow to not question it), but is there a way in which we are actually able to understand what is out there? We have touched on this question in past discussions such as with time and supernaturalism vs. naturalism, but we still seem to be at a standstill for a real answer. Since we can’t arrive at an answer it seems that everything is a matter of opinion which derives from our experience. It seems then quite easy to say that our experience is the closet thing we could get to within regards of reality. Everything is really just a concept, but now this sounds like constructivism/idealism. At the same time though, the conclusions we come to take to be real through the interactions of others shows that their must be some kind of consistency “out there.” Since now it seems it is just our experience at play, it seems ignorant to take any one side too highly and should agree that maybe there is a harmony between the two, or until there is we can really never know for sure.
