"Try attacking my ideas if you think them improperly supported."

I am not attacking your ideas. I am trying to point out the irrelevancy of your comments, but you don't seem to be getting it. I am sorry if you feel attacked but that is not my intention.

I will try to break it down for you.
1) Ideas exist. If we can discover them independantly then what is the locus of ideas?
2) We become consciously aware of these ideas.
3) We have learned that other people become consciously aware of ideas without needing to have the specific idea communicated from a person. Yes we use our senses but the idea is not planted a priori in eyes ears taste smell touch or memory. When 7 billion people look at a rock they have a common understanding of what they see, as well as an independent experience.
4) We can learn and make use of ideas from others or from our own use of our senses and logic (This is where you are picking things up. You keep claiming you are with me on step one, which you are not.)
