How do we know that all reality isn't subjective anyway? If what you perceive as reality is indistinguishable from actual reality, then what does it matter?

Subjective reality is an interesting oxymoron because the word reality suggests something that is inherently tangible and objective. Perception of objective reality, however, is immeasurable and by its nature ambiguous. I can only concur that because of this, whether red or blue pill is your preference, it doesn't actually matter. It was more my intention to filter out those who assume risk to be danger and prefer the reticence and safety of ignorance, from those whose curiosity and, ultimately, intelligence, prevents them from accepting a myth as reality.

Whether 'reality' exisits as an objective measurable entity is a good foundation for a completely different debate...
