I've been thinking about this also lately. It occurred to me that our sense organs and nervous system are shaped by external reality (both through evolution and individual development). Thus the ways we perceive are determined in some ways by the things we are perceiving.

I think that a lower price for the rent translates into a lower valuation of the property. So an empty apartment at $2000 a month is still theoretically worth more at sale than a rented apartment at $1500

I don't remember the details but I hated Interstellar. The problems of physics are overcome by love, or something like that.

I loved Turbo Pascal so much. Wrote my own DOS windowing system. When the object oriented stuff came out,it was mind blowing but still so accessible.

"correct" is a heavy word there. Would reproducible and predictable suffice?

The objectively real world may be separate from and indifferent to sense perception, but sense perception isn't indifferent to the objective world. Sense perceptions are caused by an interaction of our sense organs and the world. Surely from repeated patterns of sense perception we can draw some CC correct inferences about the external world.
