I would be happy to continue down this line a ways longer if you would like, and we could get all the way down to the two of us in the same physical location rebuilding the concept of induction. I am confident that if necessary we could do that for “anticipations” and build our way back up. I am not confident that “morality” as it has been used here actually connects to any solid surface in reality, unless it ends up meaning the same thing as “preferences”.

In that case maybe we should continue a bit longer until you’re disabused of that belief. What I suspect will happen is that you’ll continue to attempt to define your words in terms of more and more tenuous abstractions until the words you’re using really are almost meaningless.
A correct theory of physics would inform my anticipations.
Please, taboo “anticipations”.
Replace anticipations with:
My ability, as a mind (subjective observer), to construct an isomorphism in memory that corresponds to future experiences.
What’s an “isomorphism in memory”? What are “future experiences”? And what does it mean for them to “correspond”?

Do you disagree?
