I think that's right, but religious allegiance or just identification, is a good example of it. Living in a society but answering to an outside author...

I speak of now though, not of yesterday. My post was present tense.

My favorite fruit is the carrot cake.

The best jokes are told after the punchline has already been told, so here goes (from https://folklore.usc.edu/irish-pub-joke/): : An American walks i...

Reminds me of a joke about a guy who built an entire village single handedly, but he'll only be remembered as Bob the goat fucker due to one isolated ...

John Searle died. A lot could be said about him.

Tell me how you prepare an olive before eating. I think I heard you had to soak them or something. Can you press them for oil, or is that something th...

The distinction is between an experience an experiencer. There's no requirement they be in different worlds, but they are obvious different.

I thought that was Viagra.

The advantage you have is that no one has actually read Collingwood so you can cite to him as an authority for anything. But, back to berries. I was t...

This would just mean that the inner and outer world are of the same substance, not that the distiction meaningless. I really just wanted to create a s...

I meant what Adorno said.

Just to add some legitimacy, can you give a cite to an American who might have said something close to this?
