Killer Whale, Orca. I give you these do have connotations, but in general, we’re talking about one name that is decidedly technical, and one that is colloquial, common, or poetic and dramatic.
Do we need Cosmos, Nature, Universe, World, Being, Existence, if we have “reality”? If so, what is the argument for them?
One thing to keep into consideration is that what I say about “mind” and “consciousness” being redundant terms, is that this doesn’t necessarily imply that we have redundant terms for apples and oranges.
You can hold an apple in your hand, and bite it. It’s pretty easy to get a single term for apple, when you get taste the difference between an apple and an orange.
Can you “taste” the difference between mind and consciousness? Maybe the redundancy of terms for this particular concept is only evidence of how tricky this concept actually is, unlike “orange”.
