#2Way back in 1781 Immanuel Kant discussed this (without considering quantum implications, obviously) in "Critique of Pure Reason". He coined the term "noumenon" to describe a thing as it is, not as it is perceived.

Maybe we're living in a simulation and that really is the root cause.

Materialism was, and continues to be, a mistake.

Are you saying taoism's longevity comes from the application of superior models of physics?

I'm saying that it's funny how we're coming back round to something that used to be accepted. That makes materialism the abberation, not idealism.
