What bothers me the most walking out of this class comes from the very first chapter of Latour that we raid. I'm not trying to say anyone is crazy here, but I have a hard time understanding how someone can question reality or just blatantly not believe in it at all. This was the one thing in class that I truly felt could be dangerous to the public, much more than a novel about global warming.
Once people stop believing in reality, in theory I would figure that they would stop believing in any sort of consequences for their actions. After all, if this isn't reality why does it matter? If I viewed reality as nonexistent, I probably would not give a crap for what I did to myself or other people.
I don't have any answers to this problem because it is one that I can't really define or understand myself. If you don't believe in reality what do you believe in? This thought process just doesn't make sense to me and it's absolutely a question that will plague me for years to come as I try to find the answer to someone else's question.
Despite the experience that we had talking about the issue of believing in reality, I myself sometime dwell on this as well. And I do think that you are right: If one does not believe in reality, what does one believe in? If one does not believe in reality, what can one believe in? And I would add a little more than that: Thinking about not to believe in reality or choosing not to believe in reality are still part of reality, reality as a whole is everything and I don't think one is capable of leaving the reality. There's nowhere else to go. How can a fish live without water? One can question or doubt it, but what one can really do about it is to accept it.
