Brain in a Vat (Am I Just a?)

Discuss.

I’m not yet versed enough in epistemology to be able to argue the point effectively myself, but this right here is a recurring theme in my worldview. Rather, in what may appear to be the worldview of what may appear to be me. Perhaps. Maybe. As for the video, I lucked into this one. I think it adequately describes the quality of debate on the subject generally. Someone pitches the brain in a vat thought experiment. The opponent more or less deftly bobs, weaves, ducks, dodges and puts on a good show of doing anything but address the subject at hand no matter how many times they get called out for it.

Holy crap. I know I’m slack about keeping up with my blogging, but seriously? October 3, 2012? And only one post? WTF? At least it was a nice post. I’m still rather fond of that image. It was one of my earlier experiments in GIMP.
