It does.
But turns the bed into something of a rabbit hole controlled by the bed knobs.
https://disney.fandom.com/wiki/BedknobPresupposition of objective truth based upon facts while enlightening in my opinion just avoids Derridean demons.
"One had to presuppose something, the Derrideans admitted, or else one could not say anything."
Kant's cringe, DesCartes has me seeing double.
"And to the extent that the BoM *does* provide inspiration to some people, I am willing to acknowledge that it has literary merit."
What is inspiration factually, objectively, substantially?
A worldview of correctly (I assume objectively) correlated beliefs with facts?
