The goal of the philosopher is to add clarity and reduce confusion…usually.
You are just adding confusion.
Mag’s post (with the car pics) was very clear. Go read it again.
Here are our priorities.
- Reality=Whatever is directly in our consciousness
v - Objects, entities, events, thing-ness
v - Pronouns, or a generally vague form of noun, meant to give a broad sweep categorization of something.
v - Adjectives, to further classify, categorize and reference nouns and pronouns. Nouns and pronouns are a reference to patterns, phenomenon, based on whether or not they fulfill a set of criterion.
A circle is a phenomenon which exists whether or not you have words to index it with or reference it to. There are perfect circles, imperfect circles, pixellated circles. Get it? You seem to be avoiding / missing step four and say something is not a circle, when it is a circle.
Just like how you say something IS OR ISN"T a philosopher. A philosopher…what type of philosopher? Maybe not your type of philosopher. What are the attributes of philosopher do they not fulfill…specifically?
Do you understand?
