First of all hi how are you? Hope you are doing well, I have a question since in this video we say that 'Santa Does not exist' does that mean Claus may exist and is what makes the Idea/Illusion of Santa Claus being real, also can we depict this figure however we want and not as the typical figure that folks associate? (Sorry if I have made any grammaticali mistake Im not English wish you the best)
i think in the 1st rejection Quine is saying doing this is 'drawing attention away from the real philosophical issue to discuss something that is not contentious" viz the idea of a Santa Claus. Later we also see that Quine also rejects the distinction between being and existence, saying existence is not a feature of objects (real things?), a feature that is lacking by something, example Santa.
It's not about what's true it's about how things are different & how to engage in things or how to live or how to sustain engagement, because put it this way if everything is impossible & everything is false would you care no of course not because life is not reduceable to truth or falsity, to put another way life is more than restrictions and the absence of restrictions but there is the curiosity how
