Neurorad, this might be a good day for you to revisit your quote of Buddha.
Consider quantum physics. Read "The Case Against Reality" at
[Link: theatlantic.com].
While I'l bet Buddha would be into the whole idea of investigating reality, a lot of the information in this article does not "agree with your own reason and common sense." In fact, putting that sentence together made me realize that Buddha may have been holding back. There might be real things that he knew about that did not agree with reason and common sense, but he was unwilling to trust us with that knowledge.
