Professor Jiang claims that reality is what we imagine it to be, and there is no objective reality.

Professor Jiang states that we can never know objective reality, which Immanuel Kant calls the noumena or 'things in themselves'.

Professor Jiang explains that we perceive the world through our senses, which warp reality into a structure called phenomena, or 'things that appear to us'.

Professor Jiang states that the class will analyze the past, present (geopolitics), and future to construct a more objective reality, acknowledging that they will likely fail but the process will train critical thinking.

Professor Jiang asserts that time and space do not exist outside of us or in reality, but are added by us to understand reality.

Professor Jiang claims that school is primarily for brainwashing, not for learning or acquiring knowledge.
