Just to make sure I still remember how to do this....

Obviously, I do not have time to do this blog.  Good intentions indeed.

That said, I came across something I had written a while back that I think is kind of fun.

Getting PERSONal: MyAssumptions. YourAssumptions?

• We exist! (or: “I exist. You exist” [kind of like "I'm OK. You're OK"])    
• We share a world out there. 
• Despite all the messiness, there is some order out there to be discovered (particularly in the minds of other persons).
•  It makes sense (is worthwhile) to try to learn about this world  
• Our "epistemological equipment" (senses and reason) also "makes sense", so we can rely on it to learn about the world out there.  
• Our experiences of reality are analogous to other healthy persons (i.e. those who have received appropriate socialization - love).
• People are universally endowed with at least some shared concepts: e.g. “thirsty”, “clouds”, “tears”, “sad”, “food”, “mother”, “father”, etc.
