Sounds like wise advice. Bumping into things reminds me of objective reality.Pattern-chaser wrote: ↑April 15th, 2020, 1:01 pmYour pragmatism is appropriate and worthy, and I don't disagree in any way with what you say. But I would add that (for myself) I prefer to retain a clear and conscious impression that reality is unknown and uncertain, in absolute terms, however I much might accept it for everyday living purposes. I find that if I'm not careful with pragmatic-but-unjustified beliefs, I start to believe they are actually justified. So I prefer to remind myslef regularly.Marvin_Edwards wrote: ↑April 14th, 2020, 10:43 pm If that is the only reality that you can know, then for all practical purposes that is reality.
