Thank you, thanks.
The way philosophers made trans people into an abstract play thing very recently shows it clearly.
you realize this aspect
there is a part of language, not the whole language circuit or other frontal lobe areas, but a part with language that moves things around like organizing sounds in a sentence
where one can do infinite substitution, like how many toppings go on ice cream, and another part does then sequencing of a sentence in a step wise order
yet this area is also our start of reasoning even if more
=====
to use a metaphor here, one does not have to use reason to notice something is in a sensory space where my eye can tell object is close to my head yet I can not see it as an object,
it is merely a hovering presence one eye saw “it” but not both eyes
Karp seems to take this as a positive formula. So, learning, I guess...
He now writes that was a great speech actually.
I wish it made people better.
