Rordy's 'Accessing the World'
The world can, once we have programmed ourselves with a language, cause us to hold beliefs, but it cannot pose a language for us to speak. Rordy actually responds to this position directly in an interaction with simon crichley in the nineties. So right here, he's referencing the idea that there's some sort of default altruism embedded into human nature. We should just think our lucky stars that there are quite a lot of people nowadays who are pretty consistently appalled by human beings suffering unnecessarily.
