No I haven't read Kant, I will, but I'm reading other stuff and this dichotomy keeps popping up

Reason's out in the wild. These 'AI' LLMs 'have reason'. Understanding is what directs and synthesizes it (is part of/necessary to Subjectivity/Sentience).

Vernunft = rationality
Verstand = intellect

yea I did, but it never "clicks". I like to ask question to people to see variations of perspectives, to see what examples they come up with, it's best if conflict arise as well with people realizing they didn't really understand the concept in all its depths

Reason:
Thing->thing->thing->thing->thing
Understanding:
Actually fucking knowing what something means

omg this is actually not easy enough to post it here just google it for god sakes...

understanding synthesizes experience while reason goes beyond it
