Image descriptions and plain text captions of written content are expected of all screenshots. Here are some image text extractors (I looked these up quick and will gladly take FOSS recommendations):

-web

Please begin copied raw text posts (lacking a screenshot that makes it apparent it is from Tumblr) with:

I personally define reality as any measurement that a machine (computer or robot) can take. As such, there is an objective reality.

Is there? How do you determine whether the machine doing the measurements is real?

The face punch method, (not a personal attack just a rather crude if effective philisophical tool) aka if I repeatedly punch you in the face you have a hard time continuing to argue that my fist is not real, or at the very least real enough for practical purposes. Personal involvment makes the situation a lot less abstract.

Oh, I never argued that fist are not a good way to determine reality, but calling your fist a machine is cringe.

Technically the person being punched is the machine in this situation, the fist is the thing being measured.
