[MD] Experience, essentialism, physicalism

[David M]

Ham

I am saying that we do not observe anything,
rather we are changed, we experience change,
we value this change for good or ill, only later
do we postulate and externalise caused for this
change. Stuff is an an idea, a differentiation of
experience only made possible once concepts
of internal/external, time, space, etc come into being.
I doubt you will get this as usual.
