Are you really this ignorant of the subject matter or are you trolling? Do you think Roger Penrose believes there are three globes in the sky?
Quote:Then you're not agnostic about whether there is reality, our models of reality, and our experience of reality. You misspoke. That helps alot. Telling people that you're agnostic about that is going to leave alot of people scratching their heads. Whereas telling people that you aren't certain of the nature of reality, less so, Dolores.Quote:What are you agnostic about, exactly?
The nature of reality in general.
It would seem self evident that there is a reality, and for reality to have a nature to wonder about, there must be.
It would seem self evident that we model reality through abstraction, even if inaccurate.
It would seem self evident that we have an experience of reality, even if in error.
They just don't seem like the kinds of things a person could conceivably be agnostic about.
