What's really curious is how people believe that something exists besides reality. There's a term for that - I believe it's called self-deception.
Reality is final. If something is not real, that means it does not exist. There are already plenty of people living in their own fantasies, oblivious to reality ... I find that less curious than saddening.

I'd certainly rather someone devoted their thoughts to 'what lies beyond reality' than to who wins American Idol. At least that gets them thinking about philosophical concepts, types of thought and epistemological questions. But as Justin says, 'beyond reality' by definition doesn't exist so any discussion of that has to remain in a hypothetical and imaginary space because there's no way of ever asserting, confirming or disconfirming one person's ideas about it over another's. In that sense it can never be a science.
