@VesselOfSpirit Do you mean when combined with the assumption that all humans have brains? -
@preinfarction ya. like with the assumption that nearby things exist -
@VesselOfSpirit I did mean nearby when I said local. I meant something more like finite causal separation. Sorry. Does that clear things up? -
@VesselOfSpirit * did not. Also my guess is no, you'll still think that my thing is stupid and your parody is getting at something. -
@preinfarction i don't think it's stupid. just iffy -
@preinfarction it's just like people are like. let's pretend we're caring about a different thing to make the analysis more tractable -
@preinfarction a lot of the time
