I mean, maybe that's a difference when it comes down to that. You know, stonics are very explicit about that indirect realism as you said. Those are very explicit only ever have access to our oppressions, right? And so that's obviously when you're meditating or when you're reflecting, you're reflecting upon your oppressions of the world. So that might be a difference there. But yeah, that's a really cool thought, you know.
Speaker 1
Cool. All right. Anything else?
Speaker 2
No, that's great.
Speaker 1
All right. Yeah. Thanks for doing that. That was fun.
Speaker 2
Awesome.
