Sorry for the delay, it's way harder for me to articulate in a digestible way my instinctual reaction. Yea I suppose I'm sounding incoherent with that initial aside. It was mainly because I looked into more unrealism after this video and was like okay, this greater body of reference is not how I would view things. However his framing and argument in the piece I do agree with a lot of. I too appreciate how we're targeting a modelling of the world with our "closure." I too agree with something approximate to this subject-object relationship.

It's hard to articulate my feelings of my contradiction, the easiest layer is that nobody 100% shares the same perspective. But deeper, and why I think the "never attaining true conceptualizing of reality" aspect isn't the right approach, is that ultimately he's appealing to perfection as an enemy of good. There is like an undercurrent of shared reality that in a sense objectifies the emergent properties that human spends their limited attention on and not only that, the way we are molding our attention patterns are also undercurrent of some objective properties. And I think it's also I personally recognize I'm a hard ass about so called closure perspective, because in my field closure gets result.
