"1) Ideas exist. If we can discover them independantly then what is the locus of ideas?"

Ideas are thoughts which are formed from sensory perceptions. You either know where your thoughts come from or you don't. I'm not going to help you any more with that great mystery. You don't "discover" ideas. You formulate them. You don't discover pain when a bee stings you. You experience pain. Pain is not something floating about waiting for you to run into it. Pain is your interpretation of something when nerve endings are damaged. When you and I experience pain it is NOT THE SAME PAIN. DO YOU GET IT??
