Empiricism vs Idealism

A question of what is real?

Empiricism vs idealism is a classic debate in philosophy if u never had it with ur friends or fam & they're not total 's u should try it. In college I participated in this debate where we had to try & answer the question what is more real. (Did I mention before I was a finance major I was a philosophy major but my mom said I would just be a smart broke person so just read that on ur own-maybe something ) ๐Ÿ‘‰

The debate centers around what is more real, the ๐ŸŒŽ as it exists in front of us or our ideas of the ๐ŸŒŽ. In my mind this question was retarded because clearly what is real is the real ๐Ÿ’ฉ like this desk I can knock on with my duh that seemed simple enough I thought, however my professor was able 2 quickly show me the limits of my mind in this convo with a simple example about a blind man & it was in a singular moment I realize how crazy this question really was. Without an idea of a thing it fundamentally doesn't exist 2 u.

That might sound 2 simple but an easy way 2 think of this is 2 try 2 imagine explaining the color blue 2 a blind person that's been blind since birth ....u cannot so as far as they are concerned there is no such thing as blue crazy right? When u hear the saying beauty or value is in the ๐Ÿ‘ of the beholder no one questions the wisdom of that statement because deep down it makes sense 2 us because we do inherently understand our view of the ๐ŸŒŽ is egocentric which makes our judgment of it purely subjective & it is actually the idea of a thing that we judge not the thing itself ๐Ÿ’ก

When u realize that belief is indeed the ๐Ÿ’€ of intelligence then u can more clearly see who actually holds the real power in the ๐ŸŒŽ aroundย u ๐Ÿ’
