This all comes down to how we percieve the world, either with our sense data, like empiricists would say, or like bishop berkley would say: all that exists are our minds and our ideas. His idealism rests on the existence of god though which masquerades as an explanation but really explains nothing. The thing about sense data, the images we get in our mind when we see things. Like a table would be a rectangular hard piece of sense data and a melon would be a round yellow patch of sense data. Well, the thing about sense data is that it's private and it's subjective, we can't compare our sense data to others. When I look at a tree and you look at a tree we would see something different, especially if it were in our imaginations. As Wittgenstein would say something that's private can not be checked from an external source, therefore rendering it meaningless. What was my point again? Oh yeah, ganja is good :stoned:
Reefer Rogue Reviewed by Reefer Rogue on . Have you ever thought of this Maybe everysingle thing we see, is completely another thing someone else sees but somehow the words are the same?. okay like this preten i say "hey look at that tree" at what im looking at is the plant with a brown trunk and green leaves and is pretty. Obviously you know what im talking about, but whatever some people thought what we call a tree as something like..a trashcan. So when we say look at that tree, they say yeah its cool looking, but theyre really talking about a trash can. Rating: 5
