Reply to comment by TMax01 in “The objective requires the subjective as a foil if it is to play the scientific role late nineteenth-century philosophers assigned to it, not to mention to become accessible through our perceptual apparatus in new kinds of mathematical and logical symbolism.” by Maxwellsdemon17

There is a very real difference between abstract ~intentions and object level behavior.

There might be a hypothetical difference, but as far as I can tell (making allowances for the brevity and syntax of your contention) whether there can be a "very real" distinction between those two things is quite uncertain, to say the least. Could you explain your point, and your reason for interjecting it, further?

This satisfies me.

You're easily satisfied. I can (and do) presume it is because you're content with self-satisfaction, and prefer to not have your ideas challenged.

You are satisfied with presumption, I am satisfied when you acknowledge it. Win win!

You're still flailing. You make just as many presumptions as anyone else, you just aren't as aware of it, or unable to admit it.

Name 5 presumptions I have made.

Also, how do you know how presumptuous all other people are?

Humor, genuine or feigned, is a common response to difficult questions.

Flailing tends to be more genuine, but still qualifies as posturing. Flail away.
