Nick: the practical - philosopher.
I refer to my 'misunderstood' expression to Bruno:
NAME Calling
(which was a pun, meaning we call names and assign
meaning to it - in our OWN mindset, then fight for
THIS meaning against another person's meaning called
by the same NAME) - Bruno misunderstood
I think this is wrongheaded. You doubt that you really assume things are
how they appear to me - the Earth appears flat, wood appears solid, and
electrons don't appear at all. What one does is build, or learn, a model
that fits the world and comports with how they appear. I see no reason
This is a form of solipsism - it is
difficult to attack it and defending it can be similarly time consuming. I
think we have to move on and believe there is a better approach if only to
get somewhere other than back to the beginning every time.
