“I reject your Reality, and substitute my own!” (A quote from the low-budget sci-fi/fantasy film The Dungeonmaster, popularized by Adam Savage of ‘Mythbusters’.
When a friend who suffers from OCD described her own severe behavior to an expert in the field, the expert called her a “liar”. When I testified that I had seen her behave in exactly that way, the expert called me a “liar”.
And that was an “expert” on the staff of a major university.
Each person gives the doc his/her own version. After so many patients, how can that doc produce a version of reality that actually matches Frank’s needs?
reality is whatever you wish it to be. other’s reality is whatever they wish it to be. the problem is always when two realities collide. thus politics, religion, cultures, etc. the key is to not let your reality go too dark based on the “science” of other’s reality. js
