The Different Ontologies of Love
I find that really interesting and I sympathetic to the view that we want to kind of switch between different models and different situations. A scientist in their work they might say, well, in order to believe something I need to have some kind of a testable hypothesis and someone needs to independently verify it. Whereas when they go home to their wife or husband, if their wife orhusband says, I love you, they don't need to confirm that in a randomized controlled trial to believe it - right? Right. And so I think you and I see similarly in that way, but I think we're perhaps we diverge is that I don't assign a kind of uniform distribution across ontologies.
