ELEPHANT TO MARCO AND ROG RE SIMPLIFYING EXPERIENCE:
MARCO HAD WRITTEN:

ROG WROTE:

MARCO WROTE:

ELEPHANT:
I wonder if the fact that entropy doesn't get in the way of your thesis
about simplifying experience means that for you the simplification is
performed by the conceiving of the object, not the object itself (where
'itself' is understood to be something separate from the conception).
Anywhere near the mark?
