Do you know reality? If not, then you cannot coherently tell anyone they are out of touch with it.
I compare "my" reality with other people's reality. If we agree significantly about what is real, then yes, I do know reality to that extent.
If most people agree that that fellow is
not Napoleon, chances are that his "reality" is a delusion.
It is a delusion to think that you cannot know reality.
When did I ever say you cannot know reality?
It's only when somebody's reality doesn't match the consensus of what is "real" reality that questions of madness arise.
Another violent contradiction and therefore false.
The thing about contradictions is that
one of the options must be false. Are the "Napoleons" mad? Or are they the only ones with the "real" reality and everybody else is mad?
