Reply to Noah Te Stroete The dead fish should be grateful that there is still enough water in the river for there to be a flow worth going with.
The tedious tweet smelling of dead fish was, no doubt, twatted by some twee twit who thinks he or she is one of the few, the brave, the independent, the unique... who are in a position to judge everybody else as subservient sheeple.
Off with their head! Then throw it in the muck with the dead fish.

Reply to Dagny Ah. And is the proverb meant to be a normative claim or a metaphysical one?

Reply to Dagny In other words, is it describing something that ought to be done or how we should behave, or is it describing the way things really are?
Reply to Noah Te Stroete I always thought it was a proverb that speaks against conformity - it is one of the biggest battles we must fight in order to be successful.

Reply to Dagny I suspected that’s what the tweeter meant, too. However, a case could be made that it is also a metaphysical claim, i.e. no one actually goes completely with the flow in life. We all have our individual aims/goals/desires.

If your worldview fits in a tweet, think harder!
[from a placard at an anti-hate rally several years ago, only 'in a tweet' was actually 'on a placard']
That's a nice tweet. :up:
