- this absurd post would make a great case study, maybe for the I can tell for myself series, about how people use absurd fake ethics

- new design question as I hit post 5 in my I can tell for myself sequence
- #nowplaying (pretty satisfying listening to A Name I Don't Know by After Cooking, which has a bunch of stuff about knowing and proving what is real)
- if I'm going to include the stuff on knowing & co-gnosis here...
- how do I segue well from post 5 (& maybe 6)
- to the latter half of the big thing I drafted in Aug/Sept?
- where does that start?
- it starts with dealing with the situation where one person is in touch with their ICTFM and someone else isn't
- and can I allow myself to consider not doing that?
- I could call it an interlude, relevant but not necessary for the sequence
- it does talk in terms of ICTFM, which is nice, but many post-this-sequence posts will also do that
- but it doesn't heavily use or expand on ICTFM using that phrasing though...
- ...and by the end of the post I'm sort of talking about knowings that don't have the ICTFM quality, or not obviously/directly
- towards the top of the post I am tho, fuck
- like that's what I'm getting at with a lot of the Santa stuff
- let's re-read this post, with an eye towards where I want to go
- one of the questions here is like, to what extent am I going to talk about the cognosis stuff before I talk about some of the problems that show up with gnosis differentials
- okay, re-reading
- right, from the top, the thing I'm pointing at in this post is
- "my knowing is not your knowing, and they can't possibly be the same"
- and then I sort of highlight knowing as a dynamic process
- partway down I get to abstractions and generalizations
- and this feels like something I want to pick up on
- because part of what we know isn't just concrete facts
- tho "santa visits on xmas eve" is already a generalization
