Plausible? Yes. But my personal opinion? No.
   I see ideals as the imagined lines on a piece of paper vs the
   actual lines we draw that are imperfect, 3D, bumpy under a
   magnifying glass.

   Reconciling ideal and real is, to me, a fight that happens
   within cognitive dissonance... the fight between how we imagine
   the world should be vs what we actually experience the world to
   be.

   Is there a reality "beyond here"? Well, I hope so! But I don't
   know myself. What I do know is that the "idea of ideas" from
   Plato onwards - of a timeless eternal 'something' that's perfect
   and such, whether it be God or mathematics or logic or reason or
   Truth or whatever - seems to cause humans much trouble when
   people fight with ideologies.

   They're useful tools, and good goals; and I honestly hope that
   Summum Bonum or something like it exists in an Ultimate reality,
   and I hope that an Ultimate reality does exist. But I personally
   don't know.

   I just want people here to treat each other with respect
   whenever possible and leave the ideology for interesting
   discussions but not used as weapons that lead to real bloody
   ones.
