If that were the case, it would be rather improbable that it had eluded philosophers up until now. The far more likely answer is that the reply that philosopher Simon Blackburn gave in reviewing Sam Harris' attempt to square the same circle, to wit, that, "[Harris] joins the prodigious ranks of those whose claim to have transcended philosophy is just an instance of their doing it very badly," applies to you as well. Your cocksure confidence to the contrary, the hypothesis you present is rather improbable.

Oh, and I see that you've now amended your prior post to include a mind reading performance. You might have a great future in entertainment as a mentalist. As a philosopher, I have my doubts.

It should also be noted that Gae subscribes to pizza taste realism as well, that thin cheesy pizza tastes objectively good, since thin and cheesy can be objectively measured.

He also believes Justin Bieber is a objectively good singer, since he made a ton of money from it.
