<<This is why any view of reality that is based on probability is subjective/ relative. And, even perhaps meaningless in any ultimate sense. >> - orn
“First, I have no idea what you said, as usual. This is the problem with adopting any other philosophy than naturalism; it garbles the reasoning process, since words have no well-defined meanings.” - Tay It appears that you got exactly what I meant. Your own words support exactly what I said. “Second, you can't draw any conclusions from a position of ignorance. If we don't know, we don't know. We can't say, "We don't know therefore X is true." That's an argument from ignorance.” – Tay Again, you get it exactly. In both cases, naturalism and your current post, the main theme is agnosticism. “Even if our subjective worlds are different, they are still ***mappable*** from one to the other or else we could not communicate. That indicates a stable underlying reality.” – Tay Yet again, juxtaposing this last notion with your first exactly makes my point.
