I think that this is doing science. I don't think that 2+2=5, I think that numbers divorced from concrete referents are not real. I don't believe in the universality of computation, but I do believe that where computation applies (rigid objects subject to control by recursive enumeration) that important pseudo 3p views of sense can be modeled. 1p can experience. 3p cannot. All 3p is experienced as a 1p reflection. > You might be doing poetry, or continental philosophy, but we can hardly > appreciate it as such, as you present it as telling a truth, and worst, a > truth possibly insulting or degrading for an infinity of possible creatures. > Haha.

What difference would it make? If I say 'I know this is the truth', does that relieve anyone of their duty to contemplate what I have said for themselves? You say all kinds of things as if they were true all of the time. Sometimes you take care to be polite and say that you don't have an opinion about COMP, or that such and such is true 'in the theory', but to me it makes no difference. I am perfectly capable of assessing whether what someone is saying is something that I should accept as fact without a second thought. I expect that treating others as less than that could be considered condescending. In the end it's all personal style and I don't see that it is helpful to spend time on. I could be wrong, but my point is always going to be 'assuming I'm right'. This is about exchanging ideas, no?
