Because, Nighthawk, we don't live out there in the real world, we live in the world being created by our perceptions. Our perceptions are, in part, handed to us by our culture and families, etc. If we grow up thinking a kilt made in the U.S. is not a kilt, then in the world inside our heads, it is not perceived as a kilt.
You all can laugh at me all you want, but I have a ton of psychology books that discuss, except for the kilt, exactly that.
As to what the real world is... They haven't figured it out yet: QED or Strings.

I tried to ask my inner curmudgeon before posting, but he sprayed me with the garden hose…
Yes, I have squirrels in my brain…
