Mark, here's another approach. The following are a few questions whose answers reside in black hole for BK:Mark Tetzner wrote: ↑Fri Dec 17, 2021 6:38 am Thanks Ashvin, it does not make complete sense to me but thanks for taking the time to respond.
1. How does consciousness evolve into "meta cognition"?
2. What ideal processes are "evolution of alters in a planetary environment" images of?
3. How do ideations of MAL manifest as physical appearances in nature? What depth structure is behind these outer appearances?
4. Are our inner experiences also images on "screen of perception"? If so, same question as #3.
5. What do our moral ideals reflect within depth structure of MAL?
6. What are we engaged in when willing, feeling, and thinking?
7. If our reasoned thinking is "stories we tell ourselves" to justify our existence, with no firm basis in objective Reality, how can we rely on any of your reasoned arguments for analytic idealism?
There are many more. Again, most people have lost all sense of what an "explanation" is. The physicalists are better in this regard, because some at least realize abstract concepts are not explanations for anything. They mostly just embed our own assumptions and preferences into the very definition of the concept. JW pointed this out and was absolutely correct, but his solution was "just admit we are hopelessly disconnected from reality, unless we listen to music", which is essentially Schopenhauer's pessimism, but he refused to acknowledge that obvious relationship.
