how could that be?
June 25, 2017 at 10:39
cool
June 25, 2017 at 10:36
just pretend I'm retarded for a second because that's how I feel. Multiple males put that on me. The common denominator is the ethics of mean?
June 25, 2017 at 10:34
Do you really believe that's it?
June 25, 2017 at 10:30
that deserves a thread of its own. Would you want to make that?
June 25, 2017 at 10:27
Could somebody explain why asking if all women are submissive is not demeaning but asking if a particular woman is...is? Could I get one of our women-...

Adam named me Bub. I'm not happy about it.
June 25, 2017 at 02:22
No property possessed by the whole universe can be knowable. Agree?
June 25, 2017 at 02:12
Uh. Soames agrees with you that behaviorism amounts to meaning nihilism. And it's washed back out to sea except for a few minnows still flapping on th...
June 25, 2017 at 02:09
Could you expand on this?
June 25, 2017 at 01:46
Is this a reference to TimeLine's love of Hegel?
June 25, 2017 at 01:44
'I realized that everything is in vain and I hated life. This too was in vain.'
June 25, 2017 at 01:43
Really?
June 25, 2017 at 01:41
I think his argument is based on the assumption that meaning-is-use is behaviorism and so it doesn't allow reference.
June 25, 2017 at 01:36
Maybe it's built out of some simpler concepts. Or a collection of them: Order vs chaos. Volition vs nature. etc. You wouldn't have to have thesis and ...

Yea, if Heister is anti-peach-ice-cream, I doubt it's on the basis that it's unnecessary.
June 25, 2017 at 01:08
You can only send out 1000 tweets per day. Uh...
June 25, 2017 at 00:18
Are you saying that because I alluded vaguely to violence during a sex act that I must have been fantasizing about it? Hmm.
June 24, 2017 at 19:03
I'm not sure I want to know what was going through your mind.
June 24, 2017 at 18:37
Well it's with her mouth open and full that the male becomes vulnerable. Teeth?
June 24, 2017 at 17:02
Oh my goodness. That's so touching. It just totally normalized the inferior position of women for me. And...it's holy. Sacred. It makes me want to sub...
June 24, 2017 at 16:12
Yes. That was part of the wisdom of submission he was preaching. Islam mean a submission btw.
June 24, 2017 at 15:39
Well yes. Just look at all the taxes the little potential person will eventually have to pay, assuming the woman submissively spreads her legs as thin...

Pacific islanders are racist?
June 24, 2017 at 15:14
"When a man and woman make love – both are vulnerable – but who is most vulnerable? "
June 24, 2017 at 15:00
This one was awesome: "Intimidation, whether it is real or imagined is always present. This fact is not lost on the female intellect." Wait...I haven'...
June 24, 2017 at 14:45
He goes onto explain that men are potentially violent... Great point.
June 24, 2017 at 14:41
There are some awesome posts though. Tweet worthy:
June 24, 2017 at 14:33
Aha!
June 22, 2017 at 21:20
Are Wittgenstein glasses sun glasses?
June 22, 2017 at 21:18
Yes. That can't be helped... that he was a behaviorist I mean.
June 22, 2017 at 21:17
I think if you look at the bigger picture, you'll find that Quine was pointing out pretty much the same thing Marchesk is in this very thread.
June 22, 2017 at 21:10
OK. The argument I mentioned is in Truth by Convention. Peace out:)
June 22, 2017 at 20:50
OK. It sounds like you're saying that once you master the skill of turning your brain off, you'll understand that rule following doesn't require an ex...
June 22, 2017 at 20:40
What way is that?
June 22, 2017 at 20:23
Do you mean where can you find the argument?
June 22, 2017 at 20:10
Um... I've been thinking about reading some Carnap, that's why I asked. It was kind of a random question. :)
June 22, 2017 at 20:09
Really? I gleaned it from Soames (which is about as far as my interest in Witt has ever taken me... just historical.) What do you think is wrong about...
June 22, 2017 at 20:08
Maybe your buddy here would be Quine, not Chomsky. Quine laid out an impressive argument indicating that the ability to apply logic to new situations ...
June 22, 2017 at 20:07
OK. Cool, thanks.
June 22, 2017 at 19:52
But notice we don't usually ask what a concept means. If we do, we're talking about its implications, not meaning as in: "What does that hieroglyph me...
June 22, 2017 at 19:52
Yes. I think it's just my non-linear thought processes producing the appearance of a disagreement between us. Looking at the wonderful quote you produ...
June 22, 2017 at 19:31
Thanks!
June 22, 2017 at 18:56
That's the way I took it. The conundrum dissolves when we realize that as a species, we're conjurors.
June 22, 2017 at 18:56
It's true I agreed with the sentiment. I posted it because I detected grace. Think whatever you like.
June 22, 2017 at 18:41
So you're saying we can disregard his use of "means of representation."? Don't you agree he's saying the instrument (whether standard meter or sepia) ...
June 22, 2017 at 18:40
What I liked about it was the turn of thought. The way things were doesn't tell us how things should be. If you don't find that groovy, you're just be...
June 22, 2017 at 18:31
That's awesome.
June 22, 2017 at 18:06
I would like to understand that. But.. I'm not trying to be troublesome here, but the standard meter in Paris is not considered to be a representation...
June 22, 2017 at 18:01
I see. I was tripping up on 'to say it exists is to say it's part of our language game.' That seems to imply a distinction between the physical stick ...
