    @15:45 chain of reasoning metaphor. So good. Keep coming back to this every few years.

    Thanks for this. Quine is, as always, fascinating. Here he is giving a talk on Radio Canada (Jan 29 1973). It appears, titled "The Limits of Knowledge , in The ways of Paradox and Other Essays. Quine asks whether there are things that man can never know, rejects the Q as it stands, reformulates it to suit his own needs and concludes that there aren't. My own answer to the Q as it originally stands and with no need of any reinterpretation or reformulation is that there are. This is because those same cognitive capacities which provide us qua humans with scope in our inquiries also set the limits to what we can and cannot know and understand.

      It's known as "CBC Radio" in the English-speaking part of Canada, a part of the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, which also has a television network and is a public broadcaster funded by the federal government. "Radio-Canada" is the name of the French-speaking equivalent, essentially in the province of Québéc. Ideas has been on daily since 1965.

      For the Ego, yes, there are limits to "knowing" 🤭.
      For the Self, no, The Big Mind IS Limitless.💫

    Source?
    Edit: I found the source. I'm too lazy to type it but it's in the comment section of this same lecture on the channel, Philosophical Overdose.

    What is the time stamp for the tree/forest analogy from Quine? I am too busy studying now but I think that quote will help me right now.

      Approx 14:37 is where he outlines Craig's theorem. 15:46 is where he discusses theoretical constructs as psychological heuristics. I'm not sure quoting YT is a good idea though.

    Ahhhhhh so boring. Have academics never interacted with another human being before? This is dry even for a university lecture.
