Does the pig like poetry?

:up:

I do agree with you and I like your way of putting (saying?) it here. But all I'm pointing out is that we have to acknowledge indescribability in orde...

But acknowledging indescribability to another person communicates that you feel that way. Like we're doing here. Doesn't that communication have value...

Surely deep-seated love exists which is difficult, if not impossible to express with language. It doesn't have to be romantic. I love my older brother...

You sound like Bono. But seriously, , this is a question I've always thought about a lot, but never felt I had the linguistic grasp to start a thread ...

When Hanover said "I Can't read poems", I thought "Why, you idiot?"

Is haiku that good Or is it just for people Who don't like poe-

When I tried to read Poetry I realized I don't like it. Damn

When I went to read I realized I don't read That good so I stop'd

Maybe you know more than I do. I'm looking for the 5/7/5 pattern I know, but I'm not seeing it. I'm aware that the original Japanese structure isn't t...

So why begin with the assumption that all of this is false? EDIT: or rather, the way you phrase your response here seems to rely on the assumption tha...

At the risk of disagreeing with myself, I would suggest that those feelings are what constitute a musical metaphysic. This is something that bothers m...

Indeed; why didn't the men stay home while the women went out and stabbed one another with spears in the olden days?

I won't argue with your personal experience with the Tao Te Ching. I'm just not even sure it's the right question to be asking. I don't get it. As a c...

Can society exist without hierarchy?

So true. You have to "lean into it", as us millennials say. It's almost worse to get slightly wet from a medium rain. Last night I just embraced how r...

Maybe not this year... For the playoffs, I'm rooting for San Diego...assuming they can make it in in the wild card.

Well, when I got on the train around 9:20 the rain was pretty medium, and by the time I got off 10 minutes later it was insane. But the train ride was...

Sure, good poetry makes us feel it in ways that evoke music, visual art, etc. Of course I agree with you there. I also write music (that's my main cre...

I'm a poet.

We receive each form of art with different senses, and so presumably with different parts of our brains. Poetry uses words, which is really problemati...

Blank verse is incredible. The rhythm of words freed from the distraction of rhyme allows the poet to explore overlooked corners of language.

I'll take your professional word for it; I'll trade you my layman-poet word. :joke: As an appreciator of the Tao Te Ching, I'll mention 1) the line be...

It's unclear to me whether there's any traceable metaphysic to Poetry, capital P, because the two main components of poetry, 1) words (and any potenti...

I like that synthwave track in your bio btw

Looks like they'd require some specialized toothbrushes. Perhaps several different models.

Do pigs brush their teeth?

Just watching baseball and reading convoluted philosophical bickerings, Posty.

There's a pretty comprehensive thread on NDE's here: https://thephilosophyforum.com/discussion/1980/evidence-of-consciousness-surviving-the-body/p1

Wake me up when it's over..

Yes.

You seem a bit drunk on having received any responses to your millions of threads. I don't know, maybe just calm down, eat some fruit or something.

Was it, though?
