Talk:Consensus reality

(Who Coined)

Reading a draft of an upcoming book on brain science in mid-century, the phrase "consensus reality" is attributed to John Lilly. No footnote in this text, but the phrase does appear in his autobiography.

The con artist shadow government think they can continue their corrupt activity...how pathetically sad and psychopathic they have become... In regard to them trying to recreate the past, here is an interesting news item and unlike the so called con artist brotherhood I am telling the one hundred percent truth. THEE TRUTH...

Bought a King James Version Bible a few days ago, and in the part where the man showed Jesus the money, the money back in that time is referred to as the penny. The penny is only a few hundred years old. Jesus walked the earth many years before the US came into existance. This Bible I refer to is not the New King James Version, it really say the Kings James Version. There is so much crime going on. And, hey guess what, alot of the criminals are now in Hell and the rest of them soon will be in Hell!!! One hundred percent the TRUTH!!!

OH POOR PRINCE WILLIAM, him and his pathetic Grandfather will soon be in HELL!

From the article:

Steven Leibowitz has coined the term "conframe" to refer to consensus reality or some aspect of it.

Who's he? Why doesn't Google have any hits on it?

See this. Admittedly to me this is a lot of jargon but for what it's worth. I am unsure to what if any extent this should be acknowledged/discussed in the article. --Daniel C. Boyer

Who coined "consensus reality"? In what contexts is it used?

I don't know who coined the phrase, but Andre Breton (for example), used it. --Daniel C. Boyer

The article claims "idealist, surrealist and other anti-realist" theorists use it. I'm familiar with many idealist and anti-realist philosophers, but this is the first I've heard this phrase. Do you mean that it's used, perhaps, among art theorists?

We aren't on "surrealism is an artistic movement" again, are we? --user:Daniel C. Boyer

I wouldn't know about that. One thing I do know is that most idealists and anti-realists (who actually deserve the name) would scoff at the suggestion that their theory involves regarding "consensus reality" as "false." (How can a reality be false? You mean beliefs about reality, perhaps.)

Obviously. Reread the first sentence and notice, among other things, the quotation marks around "reality." --Daniel C. Boyer 16:59 Oct 23, 2002 (UTC)

Anyway, this article confuses me because I really don't know who is being said to say all these things.

Also, who coined "reality enforcement" and in what context is it used?

--Larry Sanger

Wikipedia = Consensus reality

Am I right? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.119.197.4 (talk) 21:51, 8 February 2019 (UTC)

Absolutely. Wikipedia's principles from the very beginning were founded on the understanding that describing so-called objective reality is an unfeasible goal and that consensus reality is the best we can do. MarshallKe (talk) 04:29, 27 August 2022 (UTC)

apparently there is no book by Charles Tart with the title The Awakening

Article says

Charles Tart in his book The Awakening proposed an alternative term

- apparently there is no book by Charles Tart with that title. Can we fix this?
