New Books in Philosophy · Alexus McLeod, “Philosophy of the Ancient Maya: Lords of Time” (Lexington Books, 2018) · 16 Apr 2018 podcast

And this is a m a matter of how the patterns uh of the world are structured, for example.

And and and which really kind of gets to the issue too about um what's objective about the way that we say

uh construct time.

So even for things like calendars, I th they don't want to say something like, we could just do anything, right?

We could just kind of create it in any way we wanted.

We have to follow these inherent patterns of nature.

The inherent patterns of nature themselves ultimately are ineffable, are things that we don't grasp in the usual ways.

But it's tricky, right?

Because as soon as we say something like that, well then we have to ask the question: well, how are we able to do it?

How do we know that we've got it right and we've got it wrong, right?

Given uh different particular concepts, right?

And that's that's a real problem in the in this tradition, I think, as well as in the Dowstride.

So it is i i it is a s substitutional view in the sense that of kesh, right?

Kesh has substitution in the way that I described it with embedded identity, right?

That's that's kind of what's going on, I I argue, right?

That idea being that the glyphs aren't aren't kind of signs, right, that um that that

Yeah, the kind of uh

refer to particular objects, things like this, right?

But that but that through this issue of embedded identity, they become the objects themselves, right?

So the idea is that the glyphs themselves can be seen as substitutes, as kish in this way, um, such that you can refer to um well, I want to say refer to so you can you can when when you when you write the glyph for the God, for example, the God in and this is in term of kind of it's is contained in that glyph, right?
