Hello, hello, hello fine folks of ILP. Iambiguous and I were discussing dasein the other day (imagine that) and it became apparent that what Biggy needs from me is to engage in a discussion with a trucker who was there in Ottowa during the Freedom Convoy protest to see if I can get him (or her) to, at least, understand my metaphysics of consciousness as it applies to the protest, and at most, see how said trucker responds to persuasions based on my metaphysics of consciousness to change their (moral?) position on whether or not vaccines should be mandated on truckers before they are allowed to cross the border in pursuit of their work (this is going to be especially difficult because I actually support the truckers, so maybe we ought to stick to the “at least”–see if they can understand my metaphysics of consciousness and how it relates to the trucker protest).
Now it’s not clear whether Biggy’s criteria for this experiment would accept, not a trucker who was there protesting in Ottowa, but simply a trucker who supported the protest, or a protester who was there but happened not to be trucker, or just a trucker supporter in general. Neither is it clear whether the trucker protest they were involved in or supported need be that in Ottowa, or the one in America, or in any of the other numerous nations across the world that held their own trucker protest against their governments. But knowing Biggy, I think he just wants to see what happens when my philosophies clash with those of someone who has entrenched opinions about the trucker protest, the one in Canada or otherwise.
(And come to think of it, I think what would satisfy Biggy more would be the same discussion but with someone against the trucker protest–at least that way, the discussion could easily extend beyond just seeing if they understand my metaphysics of consciousness and go into an actual debate–sticking of course to what my metaphysics of consciousness has to say about it–Biggy, you tell me!)
So if we have any truckers on this board who actually participated in the protest in Ottawa, great! Even more great if we have anyone who simply supported the protest here in Canada or abroad. Even even more great if we have anyone you definitely did not support the protest, here in Canada or abroad. And in all cases, preferably someone who doesn’t quite understand my metaphysics of consciousness or, if they do, doesn’t agree with it. And of course, anyone is more than welcome to participate regardless of whether they want to take up the challenge or has an opinion on the matter. But Biggy will only be satisfied, I think, with a trucker or protestor who was actually involved somehow. Is that you? If it is, welcome to the experiment. Let’s see what Biggy has to say about the way a discussion between you and I pans out.
