I have intentionally avoided any reference to things existing. I can't
think of a more pointless argument then over the question of whether x
exists or what is needed for x to exist.
Andreas again:
"There are many things that have no names."
Of course. The issue is not things that have yet to be named but how we
go about identifying those things that need names. My argument is that
we can only recognize these things because we already have names for
similar things. Something that is unlike anything we know now will have
to wait as we inch our way towards it.
