metaculture assumes the truth of philosophical realism, or more specifically scientific realism. The reasons for this are:
- No counter-example has ever been found to disprove the existence of an independent reality that conforms to the laws of physics.
- Alternative theories of reality assert the unverifiable, like simulations, supernatural or extradimensional beings that cannot be observed within the material universe.
- You eventually have to bet on which reality is most likely. That we live together in a universe that exists independently of us and conforms to the laws of physics, or we live in a simulation or a literal interpretation of scripture or some unknowable and eternally confusing plane of existence that is completely subjective.
Given these options, the safest bet is obviously scientific realism.
