I asked a pretty straightforward question that shouldn’t require me reading hundreds of pages for you to answer.
I feel like this is headed toward a low-value philosophical discussion about how nothing really means anything without an observer or something like that.
- kelseyfrog 5y agoNearly all knowledge is socially constructed and appears as though it isn't through the process of reification. This is different from the realism-idealism divide. That is about as simple as I can make it. It is probably just as useful as saying a spinor is a square root of a vector. While simple, it doesn't do much to illustrate the point. A background in constructionism can however be had at the expense of reading 189 pages.
