How Much of Our Reality Can Be Observed?

How much of our reality
Can we truly see? Perhaps observation is the key, But it does not come without a fee. Our answer is obstructed: The ubiquitous observer effect So we shall look no further In what we consider fact Cogito, ergo sum: An elementary epistemological philosophy Fails to encompass the realism Of how you can tell your mind is a reality. Monotheistic, polytheistic, and atheistic: All are interpretations of deities. None can say which is more mythic, Nor provide proof devoid of anomalies. Illusions and delusions occasionally appear, But are they truly false? Maybe they are nothing to fear But instead are difficult messages to parse. Man has tried again and again to solve this mystery, But has and always will fail. The possibility of an answer is a fallacy, And arguing against it is to mindlessly wail. If you cannot validate your reality, Do not fret, For you are no singularity, And not being all-knowing is not a threat. |
