>Dawg, I've read like dozens of essays by Peirce and I still don't know the answer to the problem. Peirce himself was constantly revising his approach to things right until his deathbed.
Last post before I gotta run, son.

Oh, wow, dozens. Holy moley bro. Except he only ever published like one essay on the subject and everything else is insane garbled notes for like 70,000 fucking pages

>I suppose you don't really know how to solve the question either.
There is no solution because there is no problem, you're assigning words to ideas that have no basis in reality. There difference between knowing what and knowing how, at the metaphysical level, doesn't exist. It's a practical problem, which means it falls under the purview of pragmatism, which means you have to be able to define how it is that either proof against or for either proposition would alter your affectual behavior schemata.

Gotta bounce bro, I'm proud of you for reading DOZENS of Peirce's essays though. God damn, bro. Really put me to shame there.
