Thursday July 11th

Today, I finally spoke up and went from Tier 1 to Tier 2 to Tier 3 in a matter of minutes. People didn’t seem to agree with me that we needed some sort of accepted foundation of what counts as reality and what does not, in other words, what we know as real and what has enough doubt worth speculating. No one wanted this and I believe that’s because people can’t settle with it being this simple, this cold. They want an answer, but they don’t want the real answer, they want the answer they’ve already come up with in their mind. Everyone here thinks they’re different, and that is a human beings downfall. All I proposed was what G.E. Moore proposed, we need not look at the hand and question whether this is a hand, we need to accept that this is a hand and move on toward the implications of the hand; what the hand can do to create, fix, or accomplish any task. Without this we will never get anywhere in this class, so far we’ve only questioned, we've created at least 1000 hypotheticals but have not taken one to its end. I find this desperate, and unrealistic.


There are some people, who live in a dream world, and there are some who face reality; and then there are those who turn one into the other.
