> and I'll leave you with what I think is your stated position that your thoughts don't need to bear any resemblance to reality for them to be real.
Just for the record, I will point out something I wrote in the very post you are replying to: in response to your question "in what manner must [a thought] be like its object", I wrote "[this question] is both the one I think might be answered by information flow via CHOC and the one you have resolutely avoided addressing (you still have not even said whether or not my CHOC-mediated 'correspondence' is your 'likeness')."
As you have repeatedly refused to address the question of whether it is what you mean, I will just say this: you have not shown that anything more is needed in the way of likeness in order for someone to have true thoughts.
Why are you avoiding this issue? Pretending I haven't answered your question is not helping you.
