Internalism

Scottish Common Sense Realism, is a school of philosophy...[which] emphasized man's innate ability to perceive common ideas and that this process is inherent in and interdependent with judgement. Common sense therefore, is the foundation of philosophical inquiry.

One central concern of the school was to defend "common sense" against philosophical paradox and scepticism. It argued that common-sense beliefs govern the lives and thoughts even of those who avow non-commonsensical beliefs and that matters of common sense are inherent to the acquisition of knowledge.

"If there are certain principles, as I think there are, which the constitution of our nature leads us to believe, and which we are under a necessity to take for granted in the common concerns of life, without being able to give a reason for them — these are what we call the principles of common sense; and what is manifestly contrary to them, is what we call absurd."

Yea. Correspondence theory starts with a mind/world split

Anybody who's interested in philosophy is wack, layman. Fresco isn't unusual.

. . .Truth doesn't give a rats azz to what we think we know. . .

“What then is truth? A mobile army of metaphors, metonyms, and anthropomorphisms: in short, a sum of human relations which have been poetically and rhetorically intensified, transferred, and embellished…. Truths are illusions which we have forgotten are illusions” (Nietzsche)

"All things are subject to interpretation; whichever interpretation prevails at a given time is a function of power and not truth." (same perv)
