In plain english...the statement could read - "being stuck inside your head doesn't mean that you can't know stuff".
looks like you otta to stick to the plain english if that is what you meant to say. Neo did indeed leave the definition of those two words and neither defination lends itself to your interpretation. as neither definition allows you to be 'stuck in your own head.'
LOL.....if you say so.
Meanwhile, outside of the fantasyland where you ever know your shit about..well..anything, the main thrust of nihilism is that we live in a world of subjective ontology, so, when it comes to statements about the world outside of our head..caveat emptor. Neo, for his part..thinks that this would mean that there are no facts. It's not clear why that would be the case, since facts are an epistemic concern. It may be the case that we exist in a necessarrily subjective world (it is, lol - regardless of whatever the world outside of our heads is like)...but that doesn't mean that we don't or can't know things about that world we live in.
Or....to say all of that another way. Ontological subjectivity does not preclude epistemic objectivity.
You're welcome.
