0:37.9	My Reality, or Yours, by StevePavlina of StevePavlina.com
0:43.9	If your belief system is rooted in the concept of an objective reality which we all share,
0:49.3	then how could you disprove the existence of other realities where each of us lives in our own
0:54.5	little world? From your perspective, it would be a worthy endeavor to prove that yours is the

1:50.8	don't exist, only circles do. I say, well, within this reality, you're right, but there exist other
1:57.2	realities where spheres do exist, but you have to believe in 3D to see them. If you staunchly
2:03.2	believe that your 2D world is objective reality, then you'll never see spheres. I can step back
