I don't think your really disagreeing with Molly. Obviously our brains process everything we think we know, but that doesn't mean that there can't be constructs outside our own individual brain.

Like Molly said, collective reality is the reality that is converged upon by the majority of people. Each of whom has subjectively processed it, yes, but the difference between subjective reality and collective is that an individual’s subjective reality may differ what the majority has accepted as reality.

And in the case of objective reality, no one is asserting we know what the objective reality actually IS. Only that it is out there and we can all perceive of it in different ways.

So in reality, we HAVE discussed 3 different types of reality. While their definitions may need refinement (if that’s necessary) and while their may be more types, I do believe that these three exist and are useful ways to look at reality, other than simply saying we process information in our brain so it's subjective.
