The idea that the world is <i>&quot;nothing like&quot;</i> the one you experience through your senses is completely ... stupid.<p>What you experience through the senses is a valid <i>aspect</i> of the world, which is incomplete, but accurate within its limitations, and largely non-conflicting with other ways of observing which reveal other aspects.<p>Physics, quantum or otherwise, doesn&#x27;t flat-out invalidate what you see around you.<p>Besides, all scientific instruments translate deeper observations which we <i>cannot</i> make with our senses into a representation available to our senses. (In some cases, just numbers which can be visualized, and often direct visualizations). A scientific instrument is in the world, and I can experience its output with my senses.<p>&gt; <i>Suppose there’s a blue rectangular icon on the lower right corner of your computer’s desktop — does that mean that the file itself is blue and rectangular and lives in the lower right corner of your computer? Of course not. </i><p>Of course not, because the file is blue, rectangular and lives in the lower right corner of your <i>desktop</i>. (The desktop isn&#x27;t to be confused with the computer).<p>This is real; the aggregate digital object which includes the icon position and color, as well as other information such as a name, modification time stamp and content, does in fact have among its undeniable attributes that it&#x27;s in the lower right corner of a virtual graphically visualized space known as a desktop and that its color is blue. The position, shape and color are merely not a <i>complete</i> set of its attributes.
