54. This conversation is real.
I think that makes the subject of the conversation, whatever it may be, real because the results can be measured in any number of ways.

A conversation about sub atomic particles can be measured in exactly the same way as a conversation about Gandalf.

Could it be that the yardstick of reality is not empirical verification or emotional validation but the experience of acting on them, and maybe knowing which is which?
