Your quote seems to state, “Believe everything you see”, on a site where people would often agree “Don’t believe everything you think”. Carlin does not seem to be making the same sort of claim.
If you want to then make wild inferences like ‘there is an imperceptible separate “matter” or “object” which “causes” these sights on past and future occasions and which continues to exist between them unobserved, and every sight has a corresponding “matter” or “object”’, well, that’s not Ironcroft’s problem.
