OK,
If knowledge is not REAL, then what IS real to you?  I am not sure how you are using the word real so I do not understand.  Is anything real?

Just some more inane questions since I have no clue what you are talking about.  

For example, is knowledge not to run into a conflict in Serbia real for you?
