And we might think, well, all right, a level down, you work out where Chicago is, you work out which Chicago you're talking about, the same problem emerges.

Again, we're always gonna be relying on

me understanding something that isn't right there

And I'm Mark Hobwooden. matched

So just to recap to make sure I've I've got this straight, so it seems like you've mentioned two ways, two different ways at least in which these how possible questions could arise. matched

And matched

In one of those cases, the knowledge of the external world, it's not like the mystery is in where we would get that from. matched

I mean we'd get it from experience, presumably. matched

So there's clearly a source for our our knowledge of the external world. matched

The problem looks like it's a problem with the source. matched

So as you've said, we can raise these kind of sceptical worries, well, if I can't know that I'm not in the matrix, then I matched

I can't know that what I think I'm seeing is really there. matched

And so that's one way that I would start asking, well in that case, how is it possible for me to know anything at all? matched

And then there's a different kind of problem, which you've referred to as the problem of sources. matched

where the existence of the knowledge isn't a puzzle, or at least the existence of the knowledge isn't a question. matched

We know that we can do maths. matched

The question is, where do we get that from? matched

If if we're gonna say that this is a kind of knowledge that doesn't come from experience, well in that case, where does it come from? matched

What do we have other than experience to get us that kind of knowledge? matched
