Hanover

Maybe that was the Mayflower.

That looks like the Santa Maria, and I think that landed somewhere near @"T Clark" and not over there.

Georgia's flag was changed in 1956 to include confederate symbols and then changed back to a somewhat similar pre-1956 version in the 2000s. We were p...

I was born on the rocky shores of Jekyll Island, just off the frozen coast of Georgia, where the seals played with the penguins and barges filled with...

I've never looked closely at the great seal from my home state, but I see how it might be intimidating to anyone who has thoughts of an invasion. That...

I stand corrected.

There are no seals anywhere near the Georgia coast. The waters are teeming with shrimp, but never a seal.

The Dublin redneck summer games got canceled a few years back because it turned from being a healthy competition to being a violent drunken spectacle,...

Your tale varies from day to day, leaving me wondering if tomorrow you might tell me you began as a Viking only to end up speaking Yiddish among the C...

Yes, that's me and my cat.

Did they mislay the lyrics and you have stumbled upon them and so you now seek to return them? That would be a kind gesture.

In other news, Rice-a-roni has converted from Italian to Polish and it's now Rice-a-ronski.

If that fig was in gif format, it'd be fig.gif. I have an fdp tree. I make fdpy pudding with them. I'll send you a pdf of it.

After a decade of knowing you, I learn you used to live in Georgia by sharing an insult. Seems iike it've come up before.

That's what a blue sky looks like btw for all you dreary skied peckerhead shitheads.

I was finally able to get exactly one foot over the tree line. https://postimg.cc/mhH8SnLd I did this from the comfort of my backwoods.

How about if he said "your dumb to say that because it's dumb, and dumb people say dumb things"? Now he's insulted you and offered an argument. And th...

I think it's only an insult if it's wrong. Like if I say you're a peckerhead shitface, that would be helpful feedback that would foster personal growt...

I don't understand what it means to have more planets than possible worlds if possible worlds are infinite in number. But, if you could have infinite ...

This doesn't work. The fact that you can't express every number at once because there are an infinite number of numbers doesn't mean there is any sing...

The other extreme is asking whether there is anything that is expressed that is not language. We take language to be the symbolic representation of re...

I offered this instruciton to ChatGPT: "Write a haiku about a woman who sells her child for a tennis racket and regrets the day she sold her soap for ...

ChatGpt can provide you one if you'd just ask.

I'll dispense with the obvious for your benefit and say it's antii- natalism. But I do agree with your comments about Witt.

I know. Now we've got to start over this whole thread now that we learn you don't need eyes or a brain to see.

Plants can see without eyes and without central nervous systems. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8903786/

I told my son I wasn't feeling well last week, and he told me that sometimes when he's not feeling well, he finds it helpful to use a pacifier.

Someone referred me to this game to help me waste time during the day. Go to Contexto.me. The rules are simple. You guess a word and its AI based algo...

For breakfast today my cat had cat food.

It's sort of like what we see are the shadows on the wall cast from the fire behind us. We see a a distorted fragment of the world, but not the world ...

Maple oatmeal with fresh chopped nectarines and a stout cup of Irish tea for breakfast.

Meh. So so.

What we do is "debate." What debating is how we use the term. Nothing more. Nothing less. Hanover is ""Hanover" iff Hanover is "Hanover." What be Hano...

Don't ask me. I'm just a word in your game, constructed from usage without metaphysical composition. I do thank you for speaking my name so that I com...

Yeah, and I think it's clear that my use of the term "everything" references perceptions, which is all you experience, not all that there is , as it's...

Everything is the product of the brain. The question is what stimulates the brain to cause that perception. The stimulus is not the perception, but ju...

That's my issue as well. What I actually think linguistic philosophy holds is simply that "the box is red" means the "box" is "red." That is, they're ...

Specifically it would be our neuronal response to the stimulus that determines how we see the color. I'm trying to understand why it matters in this d...

But I don't think phenomenal states of a single ingredient exist. The perception is complex, but to the extent you want to hypothesize a perception of...

I agree with that, but whether I'd foreclose the role of language in the perception of all things, I don't know I'd go so far and I don't know it matt...

As @"Michael" argues, color is not within the external object, but it is within brain. That I am agreeing with. If you limit the term percept (which w...

You are not following what I've said. My point is only that perception is a mental construct. When did I adopt Michael's position? It seems you're con...

Define "precepts" how you're using it here. That's not a term I've used or argued for.

Fair interpretation, which is why I then said, "Is what you're saying simply that sometimes language affects our perception and sometimes it doesn't?"...

This past 30 minutes of conversation arose from this comment of Banno's: 'Things in the word, and the people around us, also have a say in what colour...

You indicated language was a necessary element in the formulation of a perception and I offered an example of perception occurring without language. Y...

I just asked a question.

Do they see red? Do cats see red even without words?
