Philocrat - Energy's Absurdity
Supposing you had a life form called a 'HUMOID', completely visually disconnected from the external world from the very moment that it was created by whatever means. No eyes, no nose, no ears, no taste buds, nor any other internal and external corporeal senses that are usually attributed to, or associated with, the human perception of the external world (I don't know about science, but note that philosophy takes the perception of the external world to include sensing internal states of the body such as feeling pain, sensing the positions of our limbs, etc). Under this very circumstance, could a Humoid perceive concepts, let alone extrapolate from them? Equivalently, is it possible to form and extrapolate from concepts, let alone deduce objective facts from them, without any sensual contacts with the external world? Must that first but critical contact, or familiarisation, with the external world always be made before the formation of concepts in the perceiver?

This is what you do when you misspell a word. You search on the misspelled version, and go with what you find. That's today's lesson.
