Yeah.

intentionality is one of those things I've always kind of struggled with, to be honest.
voice-verified
Okay, I get that.
voice-verified
But how does that tie into life and language?
voice-verified
So even at the like most basic level of life, there's this inherent direction, like a purposefulness.
voice-verified
so.
voice-verified
Okay.
voice-verified
I see what you're saying.
voice-verified
So there's this like this thread of intentionality running through life, consciousness, and language.
voice-verified
So he's going up against like that whole materialistic worldview, the one that's dominant today.
voice-verified
You know, that reminds me of what he said earlier about how scientific methods they rely on this idea of purpose, teleology, but at the same time, they claim to reject purpose i uh you know as an inherent part of reality.
voice-verified
It is.
voice-verified
It's like he's saying, maybe, just maybe, our current scientific way of looking at things, it's not enough to really understand what reality is.
voice-verified
Neoplatonism.
voice-verified
I know the name, but I couldn't really tell you much about it.
voice-verified
Okay.
voice-verified
The one.
voice-verified
But everything that exists is like a reflection of this divine source.
voice-verified
Wow.
voice-verified
It's like he's saying that if we take intentionality seriously, we might have to rethink not just materialism, but like our whole picture of the universe.
