[FRIAM] The Possibility of Self Knowledgke

[thompnickson2 at gmail.com]

Hi, Glen, 

You-guys are as baffling to me as I am to you.  But I feel that EricC is about to yell at me for engaging in empty word-play, so I am going to [respectfully] bow out.  I think we agree that when I make an inference about Nick, I call on myriad sources of information, that I command some resources that you don't,  and that you command some that I don't for the same inference.  Depending on the situation, my set of resources may be more or less useful than yours in making predictions about what Nick will do.  That is plenty enough agreement for gummint work.  

All the best, 

Nick

Yes, please. I'm not a fan of defining terms before using them, because demanding such is usually a sign of adversarial strawmanning. But Nick's use of privilege combined with claiming he's addressed scope/extent is baffling. So even if it can't be rigidly denoted, at least swap in and out some other words.

Some alternates might be:
private, immanent, imminent, encapsulated, opaque, near, personal, idiosyncratic, bounded, priority, closed, contained, sovereign, subjective, atomized, individuated, particulate, granular, ...

There are lots of words out there. Don't be stingy.
