I don't think that it has to have certain properties. It only has to be an experience in which aesthetic coherence is encountered. It's primal. An infant does not make sense of their own discomfort through any kind of logical vetting. They are overwhelmed with the convulsive quality of it and their crying is a way to participate in that experience. Pain makes sense without logic. > > Is that logical, captain? > I'm interested in the logic of reality, but I think most people here are interested in the reality of logic. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Everything List" group.
