Hi Dan, Thanks for the honest feedback. I'm going to update Kant to Berkeley - others have pointed out this discrepancy too - and update the Bohr quote to be less definitive on things not existing before they're observed based on your feedback.
However I'm happy with calling SOM our current metaphysics as it's a reasonable assumption to make that anyone reading the site - which is in english - understands that it comes from a certain cultural perspective. Thanks again, David. On Fri, Nov 28, 2014 at 6:06 PM, Dan Glover <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi David, > > Your Niels Bohr seems wrong at first glance.
