Reality

From Postmodern Dictionary
Jump to navigation Jump to search

The word has two primary meanings.

1) Reality is a figment of the imagination (of, for example, a philosopher, a scientist or a theologian).

2) Reality is whatever the top politician (for example, a president, a king, an emperor or a chairman) says it is.

There is, of course, an antiquated meaning of the word, something like "reality is what hits you in the face when you're not paying attention."
