    Gosh my writing is so stodgy and lectury, maybe talking down, a hint of almost sanctimony? I'd like to change it. Your reflections on how this comes off to you, tone, would be nice. Either replied here or DMs (preferably not in reply to other threads)

    If your conception of an absolute world was based on scientific theory in some sense, then I would recommend reading this

    I'm not sure who exactly to point to for literature on this conception of science. Neopragmatists and scientific practice people are all good. (later) Putnam and van Fraassen are good. Hasok Chang is good but needs more than a pinch of salt

    The person to read for this is Heidegger, and that's where I got much of this from

    Science can easily block you from doing this, if your conception of ontology is purely scientific. > Science can talk about almost anything, but it can only talk about them in a very narrow set of ways

    The sense of ontology which tries to be as broad and all encompassing as possible should seek to capture all of that, and more.

    These are not all just factual but also practical. They are not contradictory but complementary, but also in a sense partially exclusive in that the apple can't be all of that at once simultaneously for you.

    The chef might think of what can be made from it, what pairs well with it. Beyond thinking, the chef will also have a practical physical affordance to do things like peel amd core the apple, or to macerate it. All of these are ways the apple is to each of these professionals

    Consider a botanist and a chef, engaging in the activities of their profession handling an apple. The botanist might evaluate the health of the tree it came from, the process(es) by which it grew on the tree, its biochemical properties, etc.

    By different ways things are I don't mean a list of propositions that are true or false, and some are true in one activity and some are not in others.

    An ontological understanding does not just try to capture what there is (and is not), but, also all of those ways/senses in which those things *are*/can *be*, in all walks of life and all activities

    While scientists can skateboard, unless they are a kinesiologist or something, they are not skateboarding as/in their capacity of being a scientist. And even if they are, they are skateboarding in a different way, towards different goals as a kid in the skate park

    Almost all of our dealing with the world, talking about it, looking at it, reacting to it, changing it, is non-scientific* in the sense that that's not the sort of thing scientists engage in when practicing science. (to be contrasted with un- or anti-scientific which is contrary)

    Science can talk about almost anything, but it can only talk about them in a very narrow set of ways, and towards a very narrow set of purposes.

    There is so much to science, to the practical everyday lifeworld of scientists, students of science, people affected by science, skeptics But at the same time, there is so much more in the world than science.

    Science is not merely a bundle of theory. Science is a real world activity that human beings and human communities spend their time engaged in, making their livelihoods from, thinking, doing, training, practicing, mentoring, building, having fun with, arguing about, and so on
