to all lilaqs and specifically others who i will name:
hi, donald, you said:
<A statistic I found interesting is that the preponderance of internet users
are male. I wonder if that has anything to do with it?
lithien:
the internet may be a safe outlet for their testosterone!

<Although the MoQ insists that the moon does not exist as a moon (an object)
independent of
observation, it nevertheless must surely agree that the patterns of value
which constitute what
someone (or something) observing them would - were they to encounter each
other - recognise as the
moon, actually exist in some real sense.
lithien:
thank you for answering my question to magnus, struan. that is my sense of
what MOQ is. even though, we may not recognize the moon as what our
intellect has named it or categorizes, it still exists...it is out there.
as i understand SOM, it is the naming of objects and placing them in
catergories as in functions, etc that is what our reality consists of, but
the things are there and exist. please, let me know how else to interpret
SOM if that isnt the case.
struan adds:
<Are we merely being defeated by language here or do you see some real
difference on this issue?
lithien:
that seems to me to be the problem: language. there are many things that
happen out of my reality that still happen. for instance the downing of
PamAm plane over Lockerbee, Scotland happened without my being aware of it.
was that not real?
please explain,
lithien
