Ok I spent this afternoon while shopping at safeway for green tea, red wine, and cranberry juice thinking about this...( I have a difficult time finding shit in supermarkets)...
In terms of controlling our realities, this is something I have been grappling with for a few years now. The concept of free will versus environmental determinism...but what is reality? Thats very subjective..
What is reality for a bee? a cat? a schizo? a retard? someone with brain damage? a woman, lol?
I understand, through communication, we have kind of come to a consensus that each human's sense of reality is similar, if not the same...
but was is reality to someone who is feral and never had social contact?
but to control reality? hmmmm. First we need to to try to understand what reality is. And what our concept of reality is...To this I would defer to the works of Dr. Husserl, Dr. Heidegger and Herr Kafka...I think they articulate way better this whole idea of reality...
or to eggroll this shit I could just add this picture:
