I've kind of wondered about reality and the observer regarding this and other topics. like maybe before Galileo was able to convince everyone the earth revolved around the sun did the sun really revolve around the earth like most people believed. When the belief changed reality adjusted to accommodate the belief? It's probably not how things work, but it's interesting to think about.

I do not personally believe that thoughts shapes reality. To me, reality is real. The ramification a subjective concept of the natural world leads down the path to absolute relativity. There can be no truth in that worldview...all depends on how you look at it. So rape is okay if you think it is right. People can float if you believe they do, etc.
I find your response highly inappropriate. You write an article suggesting people keep an open mind, then propose Kantian morality. Bringing rape into the discussion was unwarranted. I never suggested rape was ok it is disgusting to me you would suggest that I did. Why would you say that? What kind of person accuses someone of that? who do you think you are?
I wasn't accusing you @william-noe...just of the ramification of thinking that what one believes shape the reality around them. Just re-read what I wrote and you will clearly see that I wasn't accusing you but that I had issues with that idea.
The accusation was by proxy and not relevant. In my comment I admitted that I didn't believe reality to be subjective. However we were discussing the physical world and morality is metaphysical.
