"I wouldn't recommend you spend a lot of time trying to convince Bill of anything, but it's your lookout."

Little Hawk knoweth whereof he speaketh.

"Bill: This world is a delusion. Only you can create what is "objectively true." But you must understand that that particular objectivity is for you alone..."

Oh, mercy..I went thru that in college Philosophy classes for years! You are basically putting a semi-mystical spin on the philosophy of David Hume. You can, as Hume did, argue that viewpoint, but in daily life, your very well-being depends on pragmatically acting otherwise.

As Little Hawk can vouch for, I have some pretty pointed ideas on what can and cannot be 'subjectively' true.

I am sorta curious about how you came to this "world as delusion" stance, though.
