Reality of Reality
The redness of red is a subjective reality private to the perceiver, unavailable for objective analysis. Some aspects of reality exist beyond the reach of logic and computation. Viewing reality as computationally reducible is a flawed approach that leads to intellectual stagnation. No amount of intelligence or logic can breach this domain - it remains fundamentally unobservable.
To assume our minds can faithfully capture the entire essence of reality through perception and logic is to overlook that the mind evolved as a tool for survival and reproduction. It prioritizes based on perceived danger, carries inherent biases, and readily fills perceptual gaps on its own. The mind makes no pretense of faithfully replicating reality - rather, it actively distorts and recreates it with unparalleled freedom.
How can one transcend their mind to grasp absolute reality? The absolute remains forever elusive to our minds. The whole is not merely greater than the sum of its parts - it is an entirely different entity altogether.
"He returns to the door from which he first came out, although in his journey, he went from door to door." - Rumi
