David M said to Krimel:
Experience is the ground, doubting it has no value, and to live we 
differentiate and linguistically construct its contents, these constructions 
transcend experience, and one of these many transcendent aspects of 
self-conscious linguistically differentiated experience is the world. Only 
Dasein is world-ing, as Heidegger puts it.

dmb says:
Huh? The world transcends experience? I thought the MOQ asserts 
approximately the opposite. It equates experience with reality. Anything 
outside of experience is pure fiction. Isn't that the basic idea of radical 
empiricism; reality is limited to experience and no experience is excluded 
from reality. You can't ignore anything nor make anything up. I find this to 
be exceedingly reasonable.

A transcendent world? I think Krimel was right to conjure up Kant's 
things-in-themselves.
