You start out with an Unidentified Obect Perception like something is there in your mind getting ready to take shape. This is how the world of the Platonic forms work. It works in our cerebellum or it doesn’t exist at all except in another place where you can touch it and feel it and be it. This kind of sounds like Judeo-Christiania heaven but it is not; it could even be me more real than that, an actual world but the shape it bears I don’t know.
You come up with the idea and it formulates according to your immediate observation to make some sense of the world but in material things. Like for example, everything in the United States of America is not in the metric system. As you observation accelerates and then the unidentified idea morphs and morphs when it transforms from a platonic form to something solid and practical like the concept of a car. What I’m saying is that an idea takes time to form but sometimes it forms with second instinct. Is this common sense? I think so.
All this comes down to whether or not you either get your ideas from experience or that we are born with them. But how do we get from a thinking state to that of building a car? I’ve never seen a car in nature. But then you could say that the human state itself is that very same nature but that you are too naive to say that it’s all inclusive. It has to be included because we just did not produce the car instantly. It was a progression from one idea to the next and it took a long time. It comes out of humans which is the very nature itself. But then you could argue that how did you get the very first idea in the first place? Every time I argue this way I always come down to the Rationalists and I would say that the idea was innate only typical of the human being (for argument’s sake). Do we get our ideas from experience or are we born with them put in us, and why not, a higher power?
Oh god, I think I’m missing the point. I can’t get an idea of a car unless I experience one. If you were to keep me blind of cars since birth and then you introduced me to the concepts of a car verbally I really think I can get the concept of the Model-T. But not these advanced cars that we have today unless we went all the way to the beginning and someone took the time or that the books were provided. Then I think I could build a modern car out of scratch. It would be crude, but I think “Rationally” driveable.
