Good question!
Let's see what my random philosophy generator has to say about this:
It is plain that we have not simply
lost
an infinite horizon of approximations for phenomenology; we retain it,
however, by a freely actualizable return to experiences.
Holy shiite Doug! You are our
Reluctant Oracle after all!
I think you've hit upon the fundamental answer to all of our questions,
philosphical (synchronicity vs emergence and epistimology vs
cosmology), technological (what is the bestest language for OO or ABM
development), psychological (variations on homunculus talk),
mathematical (is solving Goldbach's conjecture fundamentally more
important than Fermat's last theorem?), and practical (is it too late
for coffee yet too early for beer? And in what Time Zone?)
All of these FRIAM discussions do seem to be about
infinite horizons
and somebody always demands that we
return to experiences.
Amazing... Synchronicity *and* Morphic Resonance all rolled into one!

Ah, yes: fine stuff.

Hm. Which is worse? Yahoos who have a tendency to wax philosophical or
yahoos who continually, insistently, repeat the same vapid objection to
philosophy over and over and over despite the lack of effect?
What's the definition of "insanity" again? [grin]
