Is “the world is full of people” an example of the mind-projection fallacy? (Compare to “we can both recognize the pattern ‘person’ at a high-level in our multi-leveled models of levelless reality”)
Why would it be? It’s an ontological statement about the existence of many instances of what you have identified as persons. It doesn’t attribute anything to them. And following your pseudotechnical jargon, why would you presume the pal you’re speaking to (“we both recognize...”) is nothing but another instance of this “pattern”? Your biased. You’re exempting someone because you want them to be a person.
