Externalist theories of fun?
Air America Radio broadcasts lots of public service announcements. I just heard one a few minutes ago that had some celebrities (some rock band, I think) advocating moderation in drinking. One line in particular caught my attention:
"And if you over-do your drinking, you're probably not having as much fun as you think you are".
Wow. Is it really possible to be wrong about how much fun you are having? If anything is a good case for not having a seems/is distinction, having fun is. Is fun the best argument for Cartesian icorrigibility? Or is the thorough-going externalism assumed in the above quote the correct line to take?
