soilrockslove asked: Thank you for that post about abstraction. I had a class recently where "epistemology" and "ontology" were used everyday in class and that was mind-bending even though the subject was familiar to me. Like those are right up there as some of the top "do not compute" words.

I had a class once where ontology, epistemology, and metaphysics were all words in the title of the class.  I passed the class without ever learning what those words meant.  (Mostly by babbling about what is real and what isn’t real every time we had an assignment.)
