Well, perception of the physical world does not necessarily result in a universal reaction among receivers but varies depending upon one's tendency to handle the situation, how the situation relates to the receiver's past experiences, and any number of other factors.
 
I would argue that our experiences are structured by necessary features of our minds. In my view, the mind shapes and structures experience so that, on an abstract level, all human experience shares certain essential structural features. Among other things, I reckon that the concepts of space and time are integral to all human experience, as are our concepts of cause and effect. One important consequence of this view is that our experience of things is always of the phenomenal world as conveyed by our senses: we do not have direct access to things in themselves, the so-called noumenal world.
 
Anyone fancy a pint?

Dave's just depressed that the guy with the orange hair is far more intelligent than the last few predecessors. 
 
(Well, you definitely can't argue that he has a MUCH better looking wife than the others anyway!)

My great grandmother wrote the Vermont state song. I got genes that won't quit.  Too bad my muse decided to take a vacay. My mind's a blank.  

S.L.I.P.

 
Silence!  Exams in progress...

Abit more like this, I'm afraid:
 

I'm gonna start a sock factory.  I'll have them made cheaply in china, and import them.

Quantum mechanics Schrödinger equation
Schrödinger's cat: a cat, a flask of Watney's Red Barrel, and a radioactive source are placed in a sealed box. If an internal monitor (e.g. Geiger counter) detects radioactivity (i.e. a single atom decaying), the flask is shattered, releasing the Watney's, which gets the cat drunk. The Copenhagen interpretation of quantum mechanics implies that after a while, the cat is simultaneously alive and dead. Yet, when one looks in the box, one sees the cat either alive or dead not both alive and dead, but apparently not drunk. This poses the question of when exactly quantum superposition ends and reality collapses into one possibility or the other. It also seems to imply the question of just how much Watney's it takes to get a cat drunk. This interpretation also seems yet incapable of determining the velocity of an unladen swallow (African). 

 
The pint sounds good, James. One way or the other, however, I doubt the cat will be joining us.
 
Are you buying?
