I used the word, "object", as you did. I said nothing of physical objects. You said that you want to explore this point about objects needing to be re...

My house is on fire. My fire is on house.

Well, it seems to me that it would make sense to start by questioning what kind of thing the Mandelbrot set is. You seem to suggest above that it's an...

:up:

But kinda funny. "Hey guys, I know I was supposed to be checking for asteroids headed our way, but.... Three words...

Ah, but do we, though? That is the question! :grin: Yes. Yes, one can say that. Whether or not one should do so is another question. Hmm... seems to m...

The wording ("there exists", "such that") is associated with first-order logic, but I don't think I got it quite right. I'm a novice with respect to f...

Different to what? Evidence of what? What you're saying here suffers from a lack of clarity, and, as a result, your meaning is lost on me. Not a good ...

This is confusing. Are you sure you mean what you just said? How can the experience be of those things, if those things don't exist? If no unicorns ex...

This. And this. Wat?

Yeah, it's probably easier to find problems in legislation that hasn't been crafted by members of a legislative body, with all of the experience, skil...

No, at least certainly not to any significant degree! :grin:

I think that it might be nonsense to assume that everything that exists must have a location. A thing that exists might well have some sort of relatio...

Yes, to some extent. But if the situation is one which calls for clarity and accuracy, rather than an opportunity to speak obscurely or poetically, th...

That's not hard to understand. The point is about interpretation and terminology. Which is better, or more correct, or more appropriate, or more accur...

Sure, who hasn't? I call it what it is. I prefer to speak plainly and avoid misunderstanding. That's why I don't say "soul" when I mean personal ident...

Can you be any more vague? Again, the criticism is that that could be said about virtually anything, from the mundane to the farfetched, and it is the...

No it isn't! :angry: :chin: Wait, yes it is. :up: So, you recognise that a car is not a steering wheel, and, analogously, you are not a soul? Or, shou...

There's a grapefruit. I prefer grapefruit. They're far from perfect, but they have a better look to them than tangerines.

For once, we agree.

Even if they are, why does that matter? There's something nevertheless, and something is distinct from nothing. I can make reasonable inferences based...

No, it doesn't turn out that way at all, and for you to reach that conclusion, my conclusion is that you're confused somewhere along the line. There i...

I think that that's the best criticism I've seen so far. It's one of those "harsh, but true" comments.

Well, that's at least better than the status quo.

Yeah, it did indeed come up earlier. I was one of the people who posted links to statistical evidence, not that that should be necessary. And yet, thi...

Yeah, yeah, I get the message. Don't misbehave or you might take my gameboy away. And by "gameboy", I mean crack pipe.

That he's an awesome guy. Yeah, I know.

How can you, on the one hand, suggest that your soul is part of you, and on the other, that it is you? Don't you think that it's misleading to call so...

:lol: :meh:

Oh god, so much lulz...

Ah man, that's a good one. :lol: :up:

I might have referred to you as a blast of warm diarrhoea whilst you were away. Sorry-lol. :victory: (I meant it in a good way).

Release the private messages! (I miss Susan).

Not too bad. Getting better, but I hear it's only a short spell this week. Better make the most of it while it lasts! (Like staying in all day glued t...

Ooh! Can you let me know, too? I'm dying to hear all about it. And maybe you could spice things up a little by throwing in an insult or two, or tellin...

Heretic!

Hmm... I'll have to submit a formal request to the Grand Council of Atheists.

Why is everyone so mean to me? I thought we were fwends. :cry:

:gasp:

Let's see...

Hmm... :chin:

Ooh! I see what you did therrr. :ok:

Yeah, @"Noble Dust", stop trying to ruin the vibe of this place with your inappropriate humour. Timeline is like that kind hearted lady who bakes hero...

Apricot.

No, but I would mock her too. It's fun and it's like a test to see what kind of person you are. Different families have different family values. I wou...

Freud might've thought that it has to do with some forgotten event in my early childhood, but that's bullshit, and Freud was an asshole.

Fear not, for you have me and my smartassery to keep you entertained.

For the lulz?

Oopsy.

In other news: the simpleton has returned, the cheerleader has cheered, and Susan has gone missing. Also, the rich lady with the horses - no, not her,...
