9. epistemology

OK, I think I see a little of where you're coming from. I can't resist a little sophistry here and point out that if 'there are no facts' that that itself would be a fact.
But seriously, I'm a 'recovering objectivity' and I start with a simple sentence that everything else flows from: "There is a real world, and I know it". Implicit in this statement are,1, an objective reality, 2, concepts that refer to that reality(definitions, words, and theory in the scientific sense),and 3, and my awareness that I'm aware of this. Ayn Rand used these axioms deductively, where as I see that all experience partakes of them and use them as basic building blocks of thinking. When I say that in meditation your awareness has a quality distinct from that of say, when your playing chess, I'm saying, "Hey, something is different about this"--as distinct as cherry red is form pink.
Or, on the other hand, I did do a lot of acid back in thee 80's.....
