in the last previous loop thru your philosophy, you led us (by a
convoluted route, I might add) into a quagmire of mereological
speculations without finding an argument to support your present claim
that no one can assert either that 'I experience' is true or that 'I
experience' is false.
clearly, such assertions can, in fact, be made.
I am asserting that 'I experience' is true.
I also assert 'I experience afterimages'. when I am in fact experiencing
an afterimage, I assert 'I am experiencing an afterimage'
on the other hand, it seems that you have adopted some bizarre rule of
grammar that prevents you from reporting afterimages. is that true? if
not, how would you state a first person report of experiencing an
afterimage?
