I definitely do not want to get sidetracked on the moon issue! I don't even care about it, personally. Nor do I have a strong opinion about it. (I agree; if someone wants to discuss that, please make it a separate thread in Olio, ok?) And, I don't see how it has much relevance here on our Law of One forum, at all.
I used that only as an example, since you brought it up, as something that has arguments on both sides of the debate, so is, therefore, not a tangibly, irrefutably proven piece of consensual reality. You might not think there is a valid opposing point of view, but others do, and they are entitled to their pov just as much as you are. If it were neatly settled, it wouldn't be considered a controversy!
I hope I'm conveying my point here. I don't wish to explore that controversy. But the very fact that we could continue to debate it, that it is still a controversy among others (even though it may be settled in your mind), shows that it's not part of tangibly-proven consensual reality, or in the same league as, say, gravity or a round Earth!
