Accepting/Rejecting "Atheism" as a label.

I'm well aware of the idea of intersubjectivity, and that some people like to apply it to just about everything in our world. If it's useful for you to analyze the world in that way, then by all means do so.

If you're not interested in debates, don't assert anything. Ever.

How does one apply the concept of intersubjectivity to just about everything in our world? Wouldn't that depend upon us communicating just about everything in our world with each other? Here I thought we forgot at least 99% of everything in our day after experiencing it ourselves.

Quote:I personally find it simpler and more enjoyable to operate on the assumption that people are usually capable of perceiving an objective reality. If my eyes see something, and your eyes see the same thing, then I'm comfortable believing in the existence of that thing.

Then you'd have to recognize that you are technically incorrect to do so. I'm a fan of simplifying complex tasks too, but at least I observe that doing so is not an accurate representation of how the world works Tongue

Every thing exists. Does that make you uncomfortable? Thinking

Quote:Charming.

I am probably the most charming person I know of Skunk

Quote:I don't find that to be a practical viewpoint at all. I find it to be rather convoluted and unnecessarily frivolous. It would be practical to accept our ability to perceive reality through, at the very least, our basic senses. It's impractical to try and bury everything in a layer of never-ending doubt by slapping a label like "intersubjective" on everything a person sees, smells, hears, or touches.

Doubt and observing subjectivity are not one and the same... a person might well recognize that things as they see them aren't necessarily the same as another might see them... but *100%* certain that they remain valid as they see them.

It's impractical to *even think* of ways to do something, practicality is only in the doing. It is wholly separated from mental tasks, as otherwise it wouldn't be practical (that which is concerned with action). Ultimately, being on this forum is grossly impractical and a fucking waste of your time... but you already knew that.

I think practicality is a load of crock, and stupid to engage in... and I'm right Tiger
Please give me a home where cloud buffalo roam
Where the dear and the strangers can play
Where sometimes is heard a discouraging word
But the skies are not stormy all day
