Sure, by the sort of optical illusions magicians use, or etc.... But i have no reason to think the cup I'm seeing in front of me now is such an illusion. I have no reason to doubt my perception here.

Acro..anyone can read my responses to your questions, so it doesn't really help to make shit up, lol.
Yes, I think that goodness and badness exist independant of our minds, no, I don't think that goodness and badness are "stuff"? Which is what I -just- told you. What you -just- quoted, which was a repetition of what I'd already told you, and already had to quote myself on multiple times.
Either you can explain why you think this is contradictory, or you can't.
I'm teetering on the dividing line between thinking that you're just confused for some inexplicable reason...and thinking that you're a lying piece of shit. Gratz.
Okay, I think I get it. Goodness and badness are not "stuff", they're are mental designations of what acts belong to conceptual sets and why we think so?
Does that sound right?
