No, you see: if you jump from a tall building gravity will take you
fatally into the ground. This will happen despite your private Truth.
I am saying, "Physics works." You are saying .. what? Make your own
reality? The matrix. Meh.

No, once again, they are not equally valid.
(Evidence + Work - Mistakes) * Repetition = Science.
(Thought + Lazyness + Profit from trite books) * Repetion = Metaphysics

There's no evidence in your philosophy, however much it is dreamed of.

So, on one hand you have Science and all its findings, and on the other
you have <insert buzzword> and its happy Feelings. One is not as valid
as the other. One is reality and has and will continue to save your
life. Guess which one is not valid?

The really telling factor is the humility before evidence - any ideas
held must fall away or alter at the coal face of reality.

mystical state I spent my youth in.

Randi. You are too heavy on the Woo side.
