Don't be naive. The concept of reality requires adequate qualifications. Reality is never given on a silver plate. Reality is found and constructed by the labor of objectivity.

again, you seem to be subordinating reality to theory. is this a move to say that, with the right theory, anything is possible? I'm really trying to fathom what you think, because it doesn't seem to make any sense.

It makes perfect sense if you think Plato and Hegel were basically on the right track. (Otherwise, not so much.)

>Talks about Ultimate Reality which has to be approached in some way >Calls himself anti-Platonist Come on my dudes, surely you can have figured out that Ultimate Unitary Truth/Reality is some Platonist bullshit. Reality is cybernetically engaged within pragmatics. The End.

I can agree with that and still say reality (whatever is in it) is sovereign.

Cnut the Great was having exactly this same argument with his deluded Royal Science guys when he conducted the sea demonstration.

Ah yes Cnut, that dude who convinced the Royal Scientists it weren't his magical powers moving the tides, but in fact the Ultimate Powers of the Bearded Man in the Sky.

That wasn't at all what he demonstrated. And to think that what he might have said matters indicates not remotely getting it.

The fact that the story is told and kept alive as a religious humility story does give some food for thought: namely that while he demonstrated the futility of man's power in the face of 'nature', he proceeded to explain it in religious terms.
