They would just think, like, what is wrong with these weird perverts that like gross sex?

And it's not a property of the sex.

It's a property of...

The the people experiencing it, whether they find it to be gross or not gross, like the sex itself isn't.

OK, yeah.

As long as no one's getting hurt.

Well, the other thing that he says, like with the quotes thing going, the morning star in quotes is like a belief about that star.

It's the morning star.

And he says that's not the same type of thing as the morning star, because the morning star is the planet Venus.

So like the object, the morning star is the planet Venus.

But the morning star in quotes is a belief that someone has.

And they may or may not know that that star they're looking at is Venus.

Those two things, in quotes, and the actual object are not the same thing.

Beliefs are not planets.

Beliefs live in brains.

Planets live in space.

Yeah, I like that idea, the talk about the claim or the belief.

He quotes Tarski here, and the litany of Tarski is a famous one among rationalists.

I think the whole litany is, I wish to believe that snow is white if and only if snow is white.

He quotes here, snow is white, in quotes, is true if and only if snow is white, not in quotes.
