I know you're a human, therefore I know you cannot know what it's like to be a bat, as an objective fact, regardless of how you think you think subjectively.

- kelseyfrog 5mo agoI am a human who objectively knows what it's like to be a bat. I have greater epistemic authority over what I know than others.
- satvikpendem 5mo ago> who objectively knows what it's like to be a bat. Sigh. Thinking you know and knowing is not the same, especially thinking you "objectively" know something. Maybe you should read the article posted instead of commenting these sorts of sentences.
- kelseyfrog 5mo agoI've read it many times over the years. I objectively know what it is like to be a bat and you cannot claim I don't without claiming you objectively know what it is like to be me. If this frustrates you, then congratulations; we have a starting point for discussion. Be open to describing where that frustration originates.
