@@bobmiller5009 so, I think your content is fantastic, but you should probably aim to deliver it in a more clear manner. I like that you’re brief, I wish I could make videos that short, but you need to consider what terms need to be defined for the audience to understand what you mean. I think given it seems like your target is people who either study philosophy or are philosophers, perhaps this isn’t as big an issue, but at the same time, I at least think it can be valuable to try to make things as accessible as possible by explaining them for a lay educated person. I think slowing down a bit might also help to make things more easily digestible. Overall though, I’m very impressed by what you’re saying in the videos

Even from an ultimate skeptic position it is inherently meaningless by its very premise and even if we cannot trust our perception of reality there is certainty of a reality, does our perception of that reality really matter? Its not like we could meaningfully change it, the only way I could see this being helpful in the future is in generic engineering, imagine one day we could literally just fabricate a new species based on artificial genetic material and lets say that we create a sentient humanoid with more advanced capabilities than ourselves, well then we determine its perception of reality through biological process and it could be that certain perceptions are more advantageous than others. Ultimately reality is to be uniquely perceived and that seems to be a characteristic we prefer and like as humans, is there really a true or fundamental perception of reality? I don't think so as you will always be limited by external factors even if you were omnipotent and omniscient. I think it's an interesting posit and useful for developing critical thinking and logical reasoning at the very least.

Surely at the least this thought experiment is meaningful in seeking supreme certainty in knowledge. Perhaps the skeptic would doubt said meaning, but, to further think on this, perhaps meaning doesn’t matter.
