Perception is just as important as reality in making judgements.

Out of this entire thread, I just had to point out the stupidest statement I've ever heard. Making judgements based off of perception is something a total idiot does, because you lack the facts and therefore lack the ability to come to a logical conclusion.

And you show your extremely limited intelligence by saying this. How do you 'know facts'? Do they just pop up in your head? Because if so, that's pretty incredible. Last I checked, most normal people learn through reading, or hearing, or some other form of perception. Further, different people can read or hear the same 'facts' and perceive them differently. And judgements aren't always about facts, or even logic. Before you come here bashing, or flaming, or whatever it's called, make sure you do some thinking, it might do you some good.

Perception in the absence of facts is a viable argument, but perception is never as important as reality. A perceived truth is not the same as an actual truth. Also, judgements must be based on logic and facts if you are going to create a convincing argument for them. How you interpret the facts is a perception of the reality, which is entirely different from perception itself.
Also, I am not bashing you, I am bashing your argument. Perception leads to stereotypes, and stereotypes are most often used when there's an absence of knowledge.

The way you said it was pretty insulting -.- so sorry if i reacted mildly angrily.
Back to it though, I don't believe a human can know anything beyond perceived truths. Logic, facts, there's no way to know whats true, only what we perceive to be true. Information at a later time can completly disprove what we take as fact. It used to be an established 'fact' that the best way to treat injuries and diseases was to bleed the victim. That was a fact for them as much as hygiene was the main way to spread contagion.
"How you interpret the facts is a perception of the reality, which is entirely different from perception itself" I don't think this is the case, I think that is exactly what perception is.
I guess what I'm getting at is that we have no clue what could even possibly be reality without perception, and we have no way of disassociating the two, but some people like to forget about perception and just focus on their own version of reality.
Just because you believe/think of something as fact, doesn't mean its true.
