If it's not there, then I believe it because of a discussion with John wherein he convinced me that it was what was really meant. Since I don't have a philosophical problem with it, I accepted it, and still do. I think that any sense of unease stems from a conflation between Concept and Conceived. It is what plagued even Kant, when he claimed that existence is not a property. > xod: > > What does lo da'i broda mean to you? > > If I read it in something written by you, I'd take it to mean > "a possibly-imaginary broda". > > If I wrote it, I would mean "Something such that I entertain the > idea of it being broda, without claiming that it is broda".
