[QUOTE="Rigsby, post: 1248151, member: 7361"] I don't understand this stuff either. And it confuses the hell out of me too. I certainly don't expect anyone to go through a post it took me 4/5 hours to write! I'm narcissistic to a point... I don't know about 'ontological commitment', but '[b]phenomenology[/b]' was a key concept with tying all this stuff together. [i] the science of [b]phenomena [/b]as distinct from that of the nature of being. an approach that concentrates on the study of consciousness and the objects of direct experience.[/i] I usually keep out of stuff like this, and view it as just stoned kids chatting shite. I'm not interested in anyone agreeing with me and I doubt I will ever understand anyone else's viewpoint or agree with them. Like I said, it just happened to coincide with some stuff I had been recently reading, and it was just about at a level I could at least contribute a bit to. But yeah, it's fun to speculate, and that's all my overly long words are: speculation. That and some links to some other research that backs up the OP. Next week all this will be forgotten and it will be on to <[i]insert latest fad here[/i]>. [/QUOTE]
