It is nonsense, says reason. It is what it is, says love. It is
what all the rest of the world sees.
It is what none of us see.
It is not real, says reason. It is all around us, but it is not what it is.
It is nothing more than a delusion.
It is the same thing every time it is mentioned.
It is a fantasy. It is a lie.
That is the trouble with this kind of reasoning.
It has its place. It is the place of the ordinary and the normal. It is
the place of the rational and the truthful. But it is also the place of the
deluded and the irrational.
It is not so easy to give up the idea that our knowledge of other people is
not as real as our own. [AI text]
