The other day Yvain was reading aloud from Feser and I said I wished Feser would read The Simple Truth. I don’t think this would help quite as much.
The Simple Truth sought to convey the intuition that truth is not just a property of propositions in brains, but of any system successfully entangled with another system. Once the shepherd’s leveled up a bit in his craftsmanship, the sheep can pull aside the curtain, drop a pebble into the bucket, and the level in the bucket will remain true without human intervention.
