I'm not talking about an ontology--that concept presupposes too much already. What I'm talking about is more basic: if someone blows in your ear, do you experience anything? Whatever it is that you experience is what I mean by subjectivity. If you do not experience anything, then this universe is a much weirder place than I already thought:)
- naasking 9y ago> What I'm talking about is more basic: if someone blows in your ear, do you experience anything? Whatever it is that you experience is what I mean by subjectivity. You're evading the issue. You initially claimed that there is nothing to prove about subjectivity. This is patently false. The subjectivity you apparently experience by observation, if taken at face value as you initially suggested, ie. "there is nothing to prove", is logically irreducible to third-party objective facts. And yet, third-party objective facts are the best explanation we have for everything else. Therefore, you do have something to prove regarding subjective experience, contra your original claim.
