Then how do you make sense of anything whatsoever?
What is being predicted other than reality?
If cause and effect are incorrect then why am I able to repeat experiments and how does change occur?

I think it can go the other way though. Free will can be criticized by appealing to randomness or order.

I wonder... Does this idea apply to other descriptors like "redness"
I'm not well versed or educated by any means but I think I've heard this issue before with colors. Does redness exist in and of itself or is it always applied to something

What would make them unreal? Is there a distinction between realness and existence?
