@Xyrgra fractals will allow us to see as much as possible

@Xyrgra I think it is not only evolution which provides this perceptional bias, it is also that the things one sees are immediately interpreted as being something; meaning is immediately attached to perception.

@Xyrgra very well said

ludwig von mises action axiom. look it up

@Xyrgra we have to let go of the ego to be in the ultimate reality

Kant's remark that we cannot know anything beyond the bounds of experience was precisely to prevent this kind of bollocks.

@Bredli37 that is not wisdom but a prophesy read if you can undersatand. a prophet can only be true if their prophecy comes to pass. watch and see.

@chevalier577 Nice try of trying to be wise, but no.

The computer generated world is coming soon. it is our destiny. the matrix shall be the eye of everyones mind. the one eye.

@Xyrgra True reality is the reality of phenomenom. Because Truth is a logical form deduced of the binary world we have perception of. There's maybe something as a background for truth reality, but we can't see it without the structure of our mind, that is logical, that is a priori, as Kant says, and that menas, we are the origins of that reality.
There is always an absolute reality, however it's also reasonable to conclude we will never see that true reality. No matter what technology we create or how we evolve, our efficiency at viewing the true reality will never be more than a perception, even albeit a sharp one.
This is because lifeforms will always interpret reality depending upon how they are structured mentally and physically, which is governed by what they need to survive and thus evolution controls the perception of reality.

It needn't filter the truth, just put a spin on it. As an example, if an object is red, and another is green, then the interactions those objects have with light are different. We can't say how they are different, beyond perception, but we know there is a difference.
Also "insanity" is a hugely subjective term.
The set of rules for reality are essentially the mathematical rules of physics (albeit incomplete).
