I'm not trying to discard Kant. I'm trying to discard what seems like "The Secret's" interpretation of Kant.

And I can treat perception and "willful delusion" as separate things. Perception is you looking at a red apple and saying "That is red." Delusion is looking at a red apple and saying "I want to believe that this is a blue apple, regardless of what my sense and logic tell me." Call it the "there are four lights" distinction. And don't you dare say that transcendental idealism saved Picard from the Cardassians.

I'm glad you're at least keeping me honest. If I wasn't regularly told that the problems I'm trying to address are outside my realm of possible thought, I don't know what I'd do.
