@shlevy @drethelin Yes… it’s a representation for *us*—but it’s also efficacious (brings about action). Isn’t the thermostat perceiving too?
@shlevy Maybe… but problem as long as it’s widely thought that “belief” is ontologically basic, and no one asks what it actually means.

@Meaningness Can you expand on what you mean by ontologically basic (assuming that means the same thing as "natural kind" here?) -
@shlevy Yes, that’s right… if ontologically basic, then there is a definitely true/false fact-of-matter about whether something is a belief.
