Oh I'm not arguing that reality is different from how we perceive it. Just arguing with the sneaky little trick where people say "reality isn't what we perceive...... Therefore reality is subjective"

    I agree with you. The "It" in my sentence isn't clear so I'll explain.

    "Reality" in the sentence "reality is a shared hallucination" (or similar) means "reality as it exists in their brain.

    People instead interpret "Reality" as "[Physical] reality is a shared halucination which is very different. I was pointing out a more real/visual example with digital cameras.
