Ciao Ginkgo, thanks for the link.
But do you believe we have such innate way of "knowing" since our birth? Or do you think our mind is like tabula rasa since we were born?

but I wrote Not admitted but given that there is an external objective reality, since the only reality that we can trust is the one represented by our conscience, and also The reality is that we can afford in our thinking, that is still subjective, is this that I wrote pure nonsense? Mad ramblings!...

Ones has to be naïve to believe that math can represent truth, it often misrepresent truth, as most things in life are subjective and relative, often riddled with misunderstandings and lies.

Again, I am.the furthest thing from a conservative. I only mean that I am no longer a risk-taker. I would have to say I'm a socialist, and an antinatalist. Does that sound conservative to you, David? I have apoplexy over capitalism, social conservatism, and the rich/poor divide. It's much to do wit...
