Awesome, thanks! This all looks sensible to me. I’ll have to do some research into some terminology I’m not familiar with, and then I’ll do a proper response Smile
...

Looking forward to it.

Bear in mind my autistic traits... I'm not great at ToM (theory of mind) in that I assume that everyone else knows what I know or rather, I forget that not everyone knows what I know.  Feel free to ask if there are terms you can't find on google... it's entirely possible that I've made them up (what's good enough for Heidegger...)

As another baseline subject, I was thinking of summarising my thoughts on what it means for things to be "real", and my analysis of solopsism-style problems.

Excellent idea.   'Reality' needs to be pinned down if we are to progress.  
It strikes me that reality is dependent on the lens (or lenses) we look through... everything is emergent if you're a quark.  

And who knows, maybe there is a school of sub-sub-sub-particles who think that quarks are hilariously illusional.   Panic  

I'm OK with using 'internal' and 'external' reality, for purposes of conversation.  Although even that might be a bit dodgy without a definition of 'self'.  I am quietly convinced that my parents have formed one self after 60 years of marriage (... telegram from the queen etc.).

I didn't.  

And that shirt might explain my difficulty with filosoffy... I have a tomato allergy.
