Why? In order for something to be a truly, absolutely objective fact, it would have to permeate all contexts. The only facts we can ever access are those which are accessible and detectable by what we are and what we can use. Why should we assume that those facts are applicable outside of our range of possible experiences? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Everything List" group.
