You don’t have to justify your fascination, but you are most welcome to!
‘Proposed’ includes old and new ideas alike. Consensus isn’t a requirement either - it could be speculative, contentious or entirely uncontroversial, as long as it doesn’t contradict what is currently known.
now circle around and combine that with fringe ideas like Robert Anton Wilson’s neuro-linguistic programming or linguistic relativity (Sapir-Whorf hypothesis) – reality is what you observe, but how much is that observation colored by what you were taught? is what you are seeing “real” or a simulation or a hallucination or a psychotic break?
Or maybe you are a Boltzmann brain!
