In the old days they tended to overestimate their ability to conceptualize reality, some even thought what was in their minds was closer to reality than what was accessible to their senses. I think there are three things: what is accessible to our minds, what is accessible to our senses, and what is real.

Yes, I agree, and no experiment indicates otherwise. But what would clearly not be there without us is the way we think about the universe-- what we think is real.
