Sigh. Just when I hoped we might be getting somewhere…
Some questions for you.
(1) Do you believe reality has a basic metaphysical (and physical) structure of some sort?
If not, then why not? How can that possibly be the case?
If yes, go to 2.
(2) Are human minds capable of discovering and understanding that structure?
If not, then why not? How can that possibly be the case?
If yes, go to 3.
(3) Reality has a structure and it is possible to know it. Great! Right? Do you agree that finding out that structure (science + metaphysics, which leads to epistemology), and basing a new cultural paradigm on THE TRUTH would be a good thing, and the best possible outcome for 2R? Or do you think it would be a disaster, because all the physicalists, idealists, panpsychists and postmodernists like yourself would have to rethink the foundations of the their worldview?
Additional question: What do you think Jason Storm would say?
