re: “Why did we do such a bad job?”, it’s a clear cut case of design by committee. It’s the only way to get sufficient scale, but it can never yield greatness.

Valences. They’re working with different valences. Yep. I’m sure that will solve it… except… we still get back to Cat’s questions, this time on multiple levels.
as Uncle Kant used to say, we produce reality and therefore what things are are indeed what we bring to them because it is impossible to experience them as “unthinged things” therefore, everything exists within the context of our thought. Except pankacakes. Pancakes and absinthe can be experienced directly and without the context produced by the processes of our minds. GOOD DAY SIRS

see Heidegger’s ‘The Origin of the Work of Art’ for discussion on the ‘thingness’ (the thing-being) of the thing.

Whoa, wait a second. “A rose is a rose is a rose is a rose” = “a rose”?
