EINSTEIN

Steve D. from the Ultraculture-LA group had some interesting points about what I'm considering at the moment

The first of which involved a citing from Einstein's Meaning of Relativity

"By the aid of language, different individuals can, to a certain
extent, compare their experiences. There, it turns out, that certain
sense perceptions of different individuals correpsond to each other,
while for other sense perceptions no such correspondence can be
established. We are accustomed to regard as real those sense
perceptions which are common to different individuals, and which
therefore are , in a measure, impersonal. The natural sciences, and
in particular, the most fundamental of them, physics, deal with such
sense pereceptions.... The only justification for our concepts and
system of concepts is that they serve to represent the complex of our
experiences. Beyond this, they have no legitamacy."

...two things come to mind when reading this:

- Internal/External: How much of my thinking about Art & Synethesia is based on internal observation vs "Comparing notes" with others?
- Objective/Subjective:What do I consider "Reality" and what don't I?
