To find the meaning of understanding you must first understand the meaning.

I NEVER understand. Even when I think I understand, I don't. In fact, when I think I understand is probably the time when I understand the least, or don't understand the most. But, when I think I don't understand, I'm usually correct.

The force is strong with this one...

Burnin, what is the sound of one hand clapping?

Or if a man says somthing... and a woman is not there... is he still wrong?

No, let's not because I won't understand.

Scott, you need to change your major to philosophy, then get a graduate degree in psychology. You could teach or do a clinic. You can then write.

But, most of all, you can continue to be a free spirit not pressured by convention and do what the hell you want. And if that means building flat six motors, then you do that too.

Certain fields of endeavor will come with too much convention. If I were you, I'd avoid them. You're never going to be less than a free spirit. Don't let anyone put the clamps on you.

Understand that?

When I learned that Heraclitus once said "You can't step into the same river twice", I was impressed by the profundity of that statement regarding its relevance to one's perception of the inseparability of space, time and change.

Then, years later I read the statement of a Zen master who said "You can't step into the same river once", which struck me dumb. I think Heraclitus and he would have become fast friends.

At that instant I had an epiphany; my mind is like a river - it meanders.

Oh well, so much for profundity.

This discussion basically equates "understanding" to "being human". I think it is clear that "understanding" means a high post count. Therefore, those of you with low post counts are not human. Reference the your momma did it with a Neanderthal thread.

John, I think that's funny.

Milt, I don't need to change my major. I just finished my last final for the Cognitive Neuroscience program with a concentration in Computer Science at Cal! That said, my program did involve several heady Philosophy courses called "Theory of Meaning," "Philosophy of Language," and a few Psychology courses. No graduate school for me right now; I'm off to work on statistical/software analysis for a medical device company in Silicone Valley. I may come back to a graduate program at some point; we'll see what my career ambitions require and how much/little fun "the real world" is.

My original question was related to a question from a psychology class, about epistemic vs. ontological definitions of objective and subjective representations. I'm sure that's something you're all going to research because you care *deeply* about it, and its immense practical utility.
