I don't see how this follows at all. It follows for you, I don't see how you could possibly know if it follows for everyone, or even most people.

And, in any case, we are surer of the human world that I described than of the abstraction from our senses presented by scientism I mentioned earlier that I thought that your human world fit just fine in Russell's model. I don't understand this all or nothing thing. If both your world and Russell's words resonate with me, what contradiction do you see? Anyone who accepts the reality of the human world described would find resonance in the idea of divinity... Unless you think I'm lying or nuts, that's obviously not the case. Karen
