I think ages ago we decided that it didn't matter whether reality was
true or not, as long as we all decided that real or not, we might as
well get on with our lives, since what is around us is as real as it
gets.

I know that I am (or at least think that I am) therefore it doesn't
matter to me whether anyone else is conscious of it, but if you all
think the same way, then it doesn't matter.

Hypothesising, and assuming. I don't know about actually learning.
