Yeah, that's a tricky question. I mean, you can take say 5 people and each one may have a differing view on the nature of reality, and that would be conditioned by culture, religion, personal views, science, all kinds of things. And they're all looking at each other saying, you're all out of your minds, delusional - or be accepting without any further ado.

Maybe what matters is, whether or not the view on reality sticks to ethics and morality, because if that isn't there then that's what, I think, generates the most criticism. I'm just speculating.
