R: It's the Truman Show

What's the difference between truth and our conception of reality?  In The Truman Show, titular character Truman Burbank lives what he views to be a perfect and ordered life.  However, he experiences a persistent lack of connection with other individuals in his town and has a consistent yearning to seek that which he cannot find.  When he learns the truth, the result is a earth-shattering revelation.  From Plato to Wittgenstein, philosophers have struggled to make the distinction between thought and reality.  Join us as we question reality in hopes of finding truth.
