What is the evidence that because someone has more control over their reality that it is not real?

Are you/the book assuming that all people expect the same 'realness' from their realities? Is such 'realness' really just a way of dogmatising towards a naturalistic idea of authenticity? Do you think that people who have not know the naturalistic reality you refer to as historic can really be told that thier realities are not authentic enough ( ... )

A person can have a perfectly authentic experience in an environment that is completely artificial ( ... )
