Maybe Richard Kiley can make this clearer to you.Not hard to see you're Quixotic, it is surprising to see you own it.

That's right. We can't help having views about the world without having worldviews...
Once again, quantum physics did no such thing. Your inability to think skeptically cripples your ability to think critically.
No, it expresses a simple fact.
Having views is not the same as having a world view. I need to eat drink and sleep. Is that a world view?
Held by devildavid to be the case. This is what it means for devildavid to "have a view". By definition.
When somebody eats a meal, this isn't a part of the world?
No, it is part of their meal.
Our likes and dislikes are not part of our world view.
World view implies an overarching philosophy that impacts our view of everything.
The occurrence of somebody eating a meal....is a part of the meal they are consuming?
Well, mental states which lack propositional content (like feeling queasy) are not views, that is correct.
This isn't what people mean when they say we can't help but have a world view or beliefs. They don't mean a personal motto or something like that. They mean propositional attitudes.

Namaste
To your audience and the gods of good taste.Impertinent to who?
To your audience and the gods of good taste.
No audience? Then you're talking to yourself. And so you can answer yourself.I don't have an audience and what does good taste have to do with impertinence?

I see. So you're talking to yourself. This accounts for the nature of much of your posting.I don't consider fellow posters "my" audience. Do you consider them yours?
