A bit of a personal story regarding tabla rosa. My first conscious memories are simply that, memories about consciousness. I would fade in and out of consciousness but had no sensory experience. Everything was black. No experience of sight, sound, touch, smell, or taste. But I liked being in that conscious state and wanted to remain there. First was overcoming a fear about losing that conscious state when fading out but it always came back so got over that worry. The second thing was even though I knew this conscious state would come back I wanted to remain in it anyway, and did not want to fade out, just because this conscious state was where I was happy. (I image it was difficult for my parents to get me to sleep at night.) I had desires even before I knew of this world.

Big fan, Dr. Joakim. If for a second we take for granted the four categories of analytic a priori, analytic a posteriori, synthetic a prior and synthetic a posterior, in which category would you put 7+5=12 and in which category would you like epistemological research to take big strides? If you can oblige us with your own opinion, notwithstanding a defense of that opinion and other philosophers’ opinions. (Thank you for the great content)

I enjoy how Kant explains math and his link to a priori judgements
