another day solo
i have become a hermit
and i have begun to hallucinate

i dreamt about xv last night
it was a nightmare
that he had to go in hiding because the govt was worried that he might know too much
he might be too close
so he had to be muted
tortured really
disorientated, all his senses were muted
for 3 days, so that he would not know where he was, so that he would be able to forget what he will be seing/or what he would have seen…
i should tell him this

anyways what is the relationship between white and black?
not the same exists between black and asian
what about all the other colours?blue…purple ,red, yellow…?

Holes are not just regions of space; holes can move, as happens anytime you move a piece of Emmenthal cheese, whereas regions of space cannot. The identity of a hole does not depend on the identity of the stuff inside it (the hole’s “guest,” so to speak), for you can empty the hole of any stuff that might partially or fully occupy it and yet leave the hole intact. It does not seem to depend on the identity of the hole’s “host” (i.e., the object where the hole is localized) either, for you can imagine changing the host’s stuff or even the host itself without affecting the hole. Indeed, the fact that holes are not made of anything seems to be a major hindrance to giving adequate identity and identification criteria for them. And this puts them under a cloud of philosophical suspicion. Success in making sense of assertions of identity between entities of a certain sort is often considered a minimal prerequisite for the viability of a theory resting on the idea that there are entities of that sort. (As some like to say: No entity without identity.)
These difficulties—maybe at times combined with some form of horror vacui—could lead one to favor ontological parsimony over naive realism and to claim that ontological commitment of sentences or beliefs referring to or quantifying over holes is only seeming. Perhaps we could do without holes by talking of holed objects without losing the possibility of describing all the relevant features of the world we are used to describing by appealing directly to the concept of hole. Perhaps we could spell out this eliminative strategy fully by providing an adequate account of every hole-committing sentence by means of sufficiently articulated hole-free paraphrases. “When I say there are holes in something, I mean nothing more nor less than it is perforated. The synonymous shape-predicates ‘ . . . is perforated’ and ‘there are holes in . . .’—just like any other shape-predicate, say ‘is a dodecahedron’—may truly be predicated of pieces of cheese, without any implication that perforation is due tothe presence of occult, immaterial entities.” So says Argle, the nominalist-materialist character featured by David and Stephanie Lewis in their classic dialogue “Holes” (1970). But even if this strategy could be coherently pursued, the question remains: A paraphrase eliminates an entity only if it is part of a true theory of the world. And even so, paraphrasability of sentences about holes does not per se eliminate holes from the world—just as the assertibility of such sentences does not automatically create holes. To talk about valleys is, in a sense, to talk about mountains….”
