Thank you, Zvi, I’ve really enjoyed your simulacra posts and found them to be very insightful. As I read this post, I came up with my own formulation of the levels that feels useful:
Right, i agree. so L4 would be pointing wherever, whether there’s something there or not (no need to pretend there is, it’s only about the act of pointing)
Thank you, Zvi, I’ve really enjoyed your simulacra posts and found them to be very insightful. As I read this post, I came up with my own formulation of the levels that feels useful:
L1: I point at something.
L2: I point at you.
L3: I point at myself.
L4: I point wherever I want.
Perhaps L4 in this formulation would be “I need not point”
I think pointing at anything you want better conveys the nature of L4. You could describe L0 as “I don’t point”.
Right, i agree. so L4 would be pointing wherever, whether there’s something there or not (no need to pretend there is, it’s only about the act of pointing)
