“You ask if anyone has ‘tested the concept.’ But why would anyone test — Reality

"The foolish read to escape reality; the wise surrender to it."

"Suddenly the real was no longer merely a stepping stone to the possible. The real was all there was."

"Things and actions are what they are, and the consequences of them will be what they will be: why, then, should we desire to be deceived?"

"He who has the bigger stick has the better chance of imposing his definitions of reality."

"You have to start with the truth. The truth is the only way that we can get anywhere. Because any decision-making that is based upon lies or ignorance cant lead to a good conclusion."

"Theres real poetry in the real world. Science is the poetry of reality."
