Thanks betty boop. I understood what he said. Just because a bunch of people talk about something as an “object” of their conversation doesn’t mean there is such an object. So, it is just words unattached to anything real. In other words, shooting the breeze in common language.

Certainly I don't disagree with you on that, kosta50!

Saying you do doesn't mean you do.

Got a teensy problem here. It also doesn't mean there isn't. Words are signs of concepts. We know we can't know objectively what is real, only if it is objective.
