2023-2-10 Addition at beginning of episode

Initially, I launched right in to Rex walking in the woods on earth, but I’ve decided to add a short segment before that.

Now, we see his UFO arriving from the sky to the woods, and we get a couple close up shots of his craft. One shows the name of his ship, which is A Priori. For those of you who don’t know, it’s a term commonly used in philosophy, and is defined below. The second close up shot is of a couple stickers Rex put on the underside. One is akin to the map a RV’er puts on the side of his vehicle to denote which states he has traveled to; and the other is a bumper sticker that says “I Brake 4 ‘Shrooms”

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A priori ("from the earlier") and a posteriori ("from the later") are Latin phrases used in philosophy to distinguish types of knowledge, justification, or argument by their reliance on empirical evidence or experience. A priori knowledge is independent from current experience (e.g., as part of a new study). Examples include mathematics,[i] tautologies, and deduction from pure reason.[ii] A posteriori knowledge depends on empirical evidence. Examples include most fields of science and aspects of personal knowledge.

The terms originate from the analytic methods found in Organon, a collection of works by Aristotle. Prior analytics (a priori) is about deductive logic, which comes from definitions and first principles. Posterior analytics (a posteriori) is about inductive logic, which comes from observational evidence.

Both terms appear in Euclid's Elements and were popularized by Immanuel Kant's Critique of Pure Reason, an influential work in the history of philosophy.[1] Both terms are primarily used as modifiers to the noun "knowledge" (i.e. "a priori knowledge"). A priori can be used to modify other nouns such as "truth". Philosophers may use apriority, apriorist, and aprioricity as nouns referring to the quality of being a priori.[2]
