Fool, you've fallen for one of the classic blunders.

The fundamental form of reality is defined as any representation which expresses the sum of the universal identities involved in the state of being without definitely qualifying that sum.

In other words, the metaphysics.

You are now banned from the internet forever.

McCarthy was a fan of Charles Sanders Peirce, so I respect him despite knowing next to nothing about him.

Look, I'm basically a gonzo-mathematician at this point.

I'll find some lsd and go back through my notes and get back to you ... if I don't die.

>>23978764

Well, let's be real, the internet is mostly bots now.

It's all trash.

Have you tried transcending the need for intellectual stimulation from normal people and simply treating them as children? I find they really appreciate it.
>>
>>23978841
Blasphemy.

>>23978848
Bots are digestible but not appetizing.

It's all trash. There's maybe two or three intellectuals in all of the internet worth reading. None of them are Land, Tao Lin, or BAP and BAP-adjacents

in other words
>reality is representation of being as a whole
which is pretty dumb desu. reality can't be all representations. then what would be the original thing represented? what is the original presence being re-presented?

>>23979530
OP is an attention whore with a paseing interest in something vastly more interesting than him.
>>
>>23979992
