Definition
The invention of philosophy as the search for the absolute. The establishment of the Myth of the Proven.
- [ ] #Cite Socrates discussing his mother as a midwife, and how he is a midwife.
The idea that language has the power to undermine its own foundation in sentience and sociality. The invention of certainty and necessity, which opens the way for scepticism. The disregarding of corroboration. Invention of ontology, epistemology, and ethics.
The failure to allow suspensional notions. The idea that every word must have a definition, and that if you can't define it you can't use it. Knowledge, Consciousness, Existence, Reality, Truth, Materiality. To be engaged. Folk philosophy.
- [ ] #Cite Plato/Socrates on asking not for examples but for definitions.
The notion that colloquial philosophical notions like existence, truth, and justice need to be defined. The notion that such a definition will lead us to knowledge and wisdom--it only leads to aporia, that is, confusion. A definition is syntactical/analytic/established. A prototype/example on the other hand, requires an experiential being with the ability to generalize and abstract.
It is an error to use the same meaning of exist, true, knowledge across the linguistic domains of suspension, ostension, and transcendence.
Scepticism is the claim that the IPSEITY is *not* grounded in sentient and sapient practice.

If a term is suspensional it cannot be defined. It is an attempt at meta-language. To state--in language--the preconditions of ostensive language.
The Gettier problem is a prime example of the Socratic Miscarriage. (see the video on knowledge with Curt Jaimungal). Definining knowledge is a fruitless task. It is a shifty, cluster notion whose usage obscures more than it clarifies.
Kripke and Russell on Names. No. Names are a combination of ostensive labelling, clusters of indicative traits, predicative traits, and generative traits.
- [ ] #Edit a JWK Kripke joke: I hope some people will see that there is no connection between Naming and Necessity! Just to be clear, names come from ostension, essential description, clustered accidental description, and generative traits. Jesus of Nazareth versus Jesus Christ
