... Okay. Let's give it a go. It wouldn't be right to refuse to educate you just because you're young and a snake.

Indirect realism is the philosophical idea that the way we perceive reality is not quite exactly as it is, but through a veil of perception, so some qualities- secondary qualities- are subjective. The immediate objects of our perception are mind-dependent objects or sense data that are caused by or represent mind-independent objects and their properties.

For example, when you look at a brown table, the shape and weight of the table are inarguable. Objective. However, the table also has secondary properties like colour that change depending on the person. For example, turning the light off appears to change the colour of the table to dark brown. This is because secondary properties are, according to indirect realism, subjective and appear to change depending on the perceiver, but primary properties always stay the same.

Does that make sense?

Wait???? Your telling me Zero is from the same planet as the dinosaurs?????
