Quote:Opinion 2 apparently considers ideas to be identical with certain types of sensible bodies and/or their behaviors. It ignores the fact that sensible bodies, like physical desks or glasses, aren’t about anything in the way that thoughts and feelings refer to things beyond themselves.Why not just say opinion 2 ignores that opinion 2 is wrong? This says nothing, and demonstrates less.
A person who is of opinion 2 will simply point out all of the things that -are- "about something"...like every component of any computational system.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
