Hi Stephen P. King OK if you're satisfied with a "vague feeling" of agreement among multiple observers. That of course would cause you to see fuzzy or incomplete objects.
The Turing Test was suggested to try to wake you up.

King But how could one know if the others are telling the truth ? Umm, I only assume the barest appearance of interactions. All of this is fully consistent with Leibniz' monadology. Monads have no windows and do not exchange substances. All interactions are only mutual synchronizations of their percepts. The surest test could only be a Turing Test. I am not sure how that is related... Plus I have another difficulty with solipsim. If perception must proceed existence, then one could never be stabbed in the back. Existence must be primitive ontologically, or else how are properties to be extracted from it by perception? There are no knives (or spoons), only phenomena of mutual agreements.

It is the manifestation of their "mutual truth". -- Onward! Stephen -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Everything List" group.
