Wittgenstein spends a lot of time dissolving this confusion. Think of how silly it would be to argue over which coffee tastes best. If we can't agree on our taste preferences then shouldn't the same hold true for sound preferences? Same goes for the rest of the 5 senses. (or is their only five?) What about intuition; is it a sense?

Faith in something else Harry. Why not ask Ray about his beliefs given that he is a priest within his culture. Actually Ray generously shares his beliefs on this list all the time. His poem response to Dan George's beliefs could be read as a credo. >If I were Emily Dickenson, I would experience the world as EmilyDickenson. >How I experience the world is nothing to do with the subject You can be 'in-formed' by her though; right Harry? You seem to have been deeply 'in-formed by Henry George .You even work at his school. Does that makes you a disciple? >What mythology of the creation of the universe do I find most attractive? > >You are asking me what fairy story I like most. Perhaps Alice in >Wonderland fits the bill best. YES I AGREE!! Alice is perfect because as you recall the rich and powerful get to decide what language means and they get to change that meaning when it serves their purposes!! Now that is infinitely better than privilege. Enough for now Harry,. I've got to prepare for 6 hours of classes tomorrow but I can use a lot of this exchange because we are exploring 'interpretation' of text in "The Incredible Lightness of Being". Take care, Brian
