What in the world is Naive Realism? Because whatever it is it sounds pretty
dope. kjf said something about this on the 12th of this month. If anyone
knows anything about this tell me. It concerns something that the Riddler is
going to do in "Batman Forever." Later!!!

Naive realism is the notion that we see things as they are and that our
intuitions are trustworthy. ( I've also heard the term used in the context
that words tend to link thoughts with objects in incontrovertible ways.)
Naive realism tends to block communication between people because if two
people perceive different things and both believe that they "saw it with
their own eyes", each can only conclude that the other is either a fool or a
liar. Neither of these conclusions foster respect or rational conversation.
