    Your thread is the local drunk who got hit by another drunk in a bar.

    IT IS NOT THE SAME!
    Oh, so that's it is it.

    My drunk was turning his life around. On the wagon he was.

      Yes, pretty much. There is some trick some guy used in the book Solaris (I'm not recommending it, nor the movie, Polish SF sucks, as does Russian).

      What this guy did to make sure he was sane was calculate some satellite orbits or something, then check that with a reference.

      Reading that, I wondered how you can verify your thinking by doing some more thinking.

      If there are things around me that are products of my imagination, how do I find out?

      How did that guy in Fight Club find out?

      And he solved it by shooting himself in the head - a definite no go with me

        Well, you can't find it out, that's kind of the point
