Maybe I should have waited to post until I listened to 105. LOL

In the example with Pierre missing from the bar, you mention for Sartre one thing’s for certain, the awareness of what is not didn’t come from being-in-itself. That this comes from consciousness…does this mean he is really discounting being-in-itself having a role in this negation? it may not have played a direct role in that particular scenario, but it did is his first meeting of Pierre. A prerequisite for this scenario is for him to have already had the positive impact of being-in-itself. Someone who is completely unaware of Pierre would walk in and not experience this non-Pierreness. In this regard consciousness feels more like memory or recognition rather than nothingness. It’s not until we experience the difference or disturbance from what we have already positively received from being-in-itself that we are impacted. Someone with no memory would only have one picture of the world, that which they are immediately experiencing. There would be no difference/disturbance. To me, to reference Heidegger, they would exist in the ready-at-hand state perpetually. Nothing can go wrong without a reference.

You never fail at using thought experiments to teach me something new every episode. Thanks for all these years of hard work Steven!
