What I mean by "vague but positive" is that you keep saying there is no problem, but not saying why.

I wrote a small post (www.wikilogicfoundation.org/351-2/) on what i view as the starting point for building knowledge. In summary it says our only knowledge is that of our thought and the inputs that influence them.

That's a standard starting point. I am not seeing anything that dissolves the standard problems.

So no matter our believes, we all have the same core drive - to satisfy our internal demands.

We all have the same meta-desire, whilst having completely different object level desires. How is that helping?
