Planescape Torment is true after all!
i was just reading this article and it suddenly occured to me: if we presume this is true, science actually confirms one of the basic premises of planescape torment-> belief shapes reality.
now that is the universe i feel much more at ease with.
what do you think?
edit: article is a wall of text so beware if you have no patience. secondly, the article is not religious, spiritual or philosophical in nature (although implications might be there), so no propaganda/spam/whatever. ok? thnx.

Also, I'm very suspicious of anyone who steps to the media / makes pop-sci books first rather than publishing on arxiv or wherever.
Cool.
And, feels like 'science' is ignoring the greatest enigma of our lives. Dak'kon knows it, it's what the author of that article calls "consciousness". You might want to call it - Man.
Now, back to Kant I'd like to recommend a reading - http://hiperconsistent.wordpress.com/tag/eminescu/
Edit: As for what Galileo discarded or not - "Up to now it has been assumed that all our cognition must conform to the objects; but all attempts to find out something about them a priori through concepts that would extend our cognition have, on this presupposition, come to nothing. Hence let us once try whether we do not get farther with the problems of metaphysics by assuming that the objects must conform to our cognition, which would agree better with the requested possibility of an a priori cognition of them, which is to establish something about objects before they are given to us." - it might be worth a try.
I think that religion has caused a lot of bad influence to the open minds we naturally have as humans and that the modern civilisation keeps us jailed in man made things of all kinds;)
