In the passage, Baggot mainly focused on the idea that reality itself and the facts

that we derived from it are two entirely different things. As per my understanding of his
intentions, reality is an all-encompassing concept that focuses on how things really are,
their true form and nature and their true purpose without the premises of bias and
judgement. It seemed like the part of mankind that however he may want to and try to
obtain and understand, would not get beyond glimpses of it. And these glimpses are
what we can certify as facts of our world. Facts are simply put things-as-we-see, the
ideas that we tend to extract from attempting to learn into the diverse facets of reality.
Though they may not seem to be included in the same frame of knowledge, these two
things actually are undeniably connected. Although, facts are just the perception of
reality that humans can comprehend, it still very much a part of the fabric of said reality.
We can argue that facts are actually realty itself woven into a deep and complex
narrative that suits our way of life. Although this may seem as inappropriate, the idea
that we don’t actually know what reality is makes us able to somehow construct a
supposed mirror image of itself, albeit in a structured and monitored approach such as
Science and Technology. In a sense, the distinction between these two lies on a very
varied sense of perception and how we measure these things.
But if we are to engage in this line of thinking, even I could see the endpoint of all
this thought process would lead to a very questionable conclusion. Some of the most
feasible queries that may come up are: If reality can only be seen without the eyes of
bias, prejudices, and judgement, will there ever come a time where we could actually
comprehend it? How much does our established facts actually reflect the reality we
want to perceive? Where do we draw the line between recognizing the facts we have as
reality itself and acknowledging that what we know may not be actually be true or real?
With the knowledge that reality is relatively unknown and may possibly stay that way
forever, how would we, as a society would shape reality to fit our ideals, and how we
would like future generations to interpret our said perception and how they would
continue on moving forward?
At the end of the day, we may actually never fully understand how much reality
we can really access to, in the same way that we can never fully hope to learn even our
own thought process, and thus it would eventually end up into each own belief and
perception.
