I'm trying to articulate supporting arguments for (2) claims : a) grammar introduces all speakers to logic; b) spacetime is the ultimate conjunction. ...

I infer you've concluded the video shows no practice of language by the crow. With my two above quotes of myself I lay foundation for making the claim...

Logic, then, being an attribute of language, stands subordinate to language. This feels intuitively like something useful to my argument, but, first, ...

As I see the above, it's not a refutation, but rather, a call for greater precision. Suppose I revise my claim to say, "grammar, the inferential platf...

Your definition, as I see it, exemplifies anti-empathy.

If I can't see, touch, smell or taste, then my hearing is desensitized? I've heard that lack of sight, for example, increases aural sensitivity. Just ...

All was clear, and now, with your explanation, I see that the writing was done with the sure hand of a strong storyteller. The mopeyness works as you ...

Wow! Does this undercut the reward of redemption> everlasting life?

My only point is that the song, a good one, well fits the story, also a good one. Morrison the mad poet reminds me that interesting people always have...

I like the song. I guess it's a side of Lou Reed I've never before heard. Wish I could hear Joan Baez sing this one. People would think it's about Dyl...
July 06, 2022 at 14:43
I think everything you say here -- save one thing -- is true. You premise seems to be that being aware of sociopathy &, moreover, laying ironic tone o...

Right now it's a fragment. I hope the author will build up the story.
