Question for you Bruno:.
You say (with help from Theaetetus) that 1p experience is given by
Bp & p. Yet, our experience is often deluded, as in optical
illusions, or in various kinds of emotional & psychological denial.
Can we ever really say that our knowledge, even 1p experience,
refers to anything True?
In public? No.
In private? Yes.
I would say.
Then in the frame of theories about such 1p things, like
consciousness, we can decide to agree on some "property" of the
notion. Then, "consciousness-here-and-now" might be a candidate for a
possible true reference, if you agree consciousness-here-and-now is
undoubtable or incorrigible.
Then we can approximate many sort of truth, by the very plausible, the
probable, the relatively expectable, etc.
If someone complains, is the pain real or fake? Eventually it is a
question for a judge.
The truth is what no machine can really grasp the whole truth, but all
machines can know very well some aspect of it, I think, but very few
in justifiable modes.
