The only thing measured in kilos in the US is cocaine. They seem to be the only industry that has gotten metric buy-in in the US.

I think musical forms represent a people's history. Like let's say things are tough, then their music might be melancholic, but then once they get dru...

The question is less about why the Egyptians don't sing like us than it is why we don't walk like them. https://youtu.be/Cv6tuzHUuuk?si=PchC-RFV5o6kNY...

That is classic logic, not modal logic, though, correct? I understand that if we're referrring to what might be we can't set it out in terms of what i...

Was the blinking light not art to the extent you've described it, a representation of the death of art? I get that the conned didn't see art, but in a...

My thoughts on this have returned to our A -> ~ A discussion, distinguishing the vacuous from the semantically meaningful. One example I came across w...

There's an article on everything: https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/impossible-worlds/#CouRea

OK, then the Priest provided an ad hom, and you responded to my comment about an ad hom with another ad hom, suggesting it wasn't that it was an ad ho...

Explain how this isn't pure ad hom. I say this because even if you're entirely right, it might be they're theists because theism is true. It'd be like...

To the extent that is art, it tells a tale of a nation great and strong, capable of feats unimaginable, with a single minded focus to satisfy its cons...

But then you say This means art can be unarted. If forgetting is a means to that end, then why can't persuasion work as well. If it can, this just spe...

The noumena is unknown, which makes the point that all that we know is art. To the extent there might be something out there we don't know about, that...

My view is that everything is art, which means some just fall to realize it. That failure is art as well, the tragic sort of art. My recognition of it...

You saw it too?

They make really good money and according to some videos I saw online, women really enjoy when they come over, but something seemed off about it.

My knee jerk response to the politics within the art community isn't that it has anything to do with "art" in the descriptive way that we're trying to...

Suppose you tell me it's art and I forget?

Very 2nd Amendment of you.

Yes, and my last one was murdered by the deer, so this one has chicken wire around its base. No more One Peachtwig Farm.

Speaking of peachtrees, I planted one last year and it has borne small fruit, consistent with what my fine state stands for. I call my farm One Peacht...

You're right. I feel like shit now. Just read and hopefully enjoy.

Is this really a thing? I mean I get how tastes can change over time, but can it happen by persuasion? Like, this wine is delicious now that you point...

Alright, I'm following along here. If all we wish to do is save any aspect of modal reasoning so as to avoid absolute collapse, we have to show such a...

The problem with being extraordinarily ordinary deprives you of being ordinary, like being so perfectly and exactly average makes you an outlier. I ca...

This comment neither complements nor compliments what I said, paradoxically making neither word misusable and therefore proving your point which I con...

No no no, you nailed it exactly right the first time. I was complimenting you on your correct usage.

I'm not sure about this. We make deductions from hypotheticals where we openly acknowledge loss of identity. As in, "if I were you, I'd have read Krip...

Compliments on proper use of complement, a common error even among natives.

It has very extensive commentary, which is very good. . Sample page: /uploads/resized/files/1g/zjywcr0n405ftbid.jpg Artscroll is the Orthodox shul ver...

I'd describe the commentary as scholarly and academic, with some references to traditional sources, but no expectation the reader is Orthodox or neces...

Yeah, but did you care he died, like were you at all invested in him as a character, or was it just pretty prose?

Coca-cola is from Atlanta. You're welcome.

Iced tea?

You recited Christian theology and all I did was note it. I had no deeper purpose, as if to spread the love of Christ, as if I have any personal attac...

Sounds treif.

I'd think aesthetics is central to Zen and the Art of Motorcycle maintanance in that aesthetics would be how we would recognize quality. This distinct...

I place that book among the most over-rated books of all time.

That would be considered a very lazy dinner and probably by a college student or someone who isn't doing a great job taking care of himself. That's a ...

The Lonely Man of Faith by Joseph Soloveithik. A dicussion of spiritual man versus obedient man. Interesting dichotomy. Deuteronomy - The JPS Torah Co...

Very well, but for someone so averse to conversations of God, you're omnipresent in these threads. I, for one, have never begun such a thread, but I'd...

No, your statement was just categorically wrong, so I provided a similar statement to mirror yours, hoping to point that out, but you just got mad. Th...

There are no books providing argument in support or against Wittgenstein either. I just thought I'd write a post as bad as yours so you could see how ...

Debating the meaning of original philosophical sources is common here and in academia. There must be some reason you read and debate Wittgenstein for ...

Okay, but that's not what you said in the post I responded to. I wish you'd number your three elements for clarity. You also don't attach an "and," or...

It makes no sense to deny the philosophical import of divine writ. Why would you deny a writing from God himself? What you mean to say is one shouldn'...

My view on Pirsig's book was that it was a discussion of the meaning of quality, pointing out examples of instances where quality was replaced by mech...

It's earth. I'm on the moon.

Tanks!

If my picture of reality intended not for aesthetics but to just to convey the literal is not art, is the same to be said of the picture of the pictur...

Allowance of some examples of accidental art creates a slippery slope because if some speech acts (for example) are poetic even if unintended, then al...
