(March 29, 2018 at 2:12 pm)FlatAssembler Wrote: There are things for which obviously "esse est percipii", that is, they exist only because they are being perceived by somebody.

The word 'obviously' is always a warning bell for me. Like 'obviously' what I am telling you is the truth so don't bother questioning it.

Putting aside ill-defined terms and equivocation for one moment, it would be easier to argue that there is nothing that exists only because it is being perceived by someone.
