Thanx Tatty,

last year research suggested that orthodox protestants had trouble 
getting a helicopterview, suggesting this kind of persuasion is not only 
a matter of personal choice and biography, but also of physical 
condition. So some people are born to be absolutists and perhaps others 
as skeptics. They simply cannot think that there are other sides to the 
matter. Perhaps you can change it with physical exercise or diet. The 
pinnacle of nonrealism seems to be a Nietzschean or a Syātvāda attitude 
or perhaps also plain fullbred skepticism. I don't know what the 
skeptics ate and if they did exercises, but Nietzsche liked long walks 
and the Jains are strict vegetarians. Is there a liaison between Mc 
Donalds and the Teaparty Movement? Can lack of vitamins cause realism? 
Is there something like a nonrealist lifestyle? I for myself try to be 
as nonrealistic as I can, I forget most real things and I'm on 
e-maillists that discuss preferably unreal topics.
