Quote:You use the word "really" like it means something to you. I'm guessing it means that it conforms to your hunches about which of your experiences represet reality.It's a word we use to indicate truth status, you're familiar, I assume? Is this where we're at now, you're bitching about the word really? Take it up with webster.
Quote:It's not surprising that a materialist doesn't get the point of establishing context-- it is your position that there's only one context, making the word pretty much irrelevant to you. But if you're such a fan of evidence, then demonstrate, using evidence, that your metaphysical position really does represent truth.
Context isn't irrelevant to me, as I already told you, it's simply not an excuse. The truth of my metaphysical claims, whatever they are, however, is irrelevant. No amount of me being wrong about some metaphysical claim will salvage equivocations. Go find an actual paradox and stop bullshitting yourself about a video game.
