Rufus,

You are a true artist. I think that everyone who accesses your web site lingers in awe at the image in your title page.

I once knew someone who thought that reality existed in the minds of mental patients cloistered in an asylum. That we were but figments of their imagination going about our lives not knowing that we aren't real. I told her that I thought that was lunacy.

I don't understand the concept of idealism. How is it that we can communicate these ideas on the internet as if we were all existing in our own time with the ability to access them at will?

How would you explain the residual imagery burned into your retina after you stare at a bright object for a long time? For that matter, how would you explain the retina in the first place?
