We're all completely alone babbling at each other then... I do often fear that is the case, but I hope not!

That's clearly not true. Identity is constituted by the difference between categories, and proper names, the difference between universal, and not ind...

No, incommensurable means that there's no standard, or measurement that applies to both things in question.

If it is wholly a "product of language", and doesn't actually relate to any objective features of the world (besides language itself) then it remains ...

Then there's infinitely many incommensurable ones -- or maybe a finite amount, but that means a different unique, completely unrelated identity for ev...

I dunno, I think that I lean towards some neutral zone. Literally, as if we pry the two apart, and sit in the gap in the middle. Not an explanation of...

If that article is to be believed, then everyone is missing the point by offering physical and mathematical solutions. I brought it up earlier so that...

I prefer to follow social and cultural exceptions. :D

Probably cobbler elves. You know... on vacation from cobbling...

Better scenery.

Maybe that's that concrete vagueness Apo's always on about!

I do actually think that is precisely what it means. When something can't be done in principle, that means that it can't be done at all, not because o...

But measurable in principle, not just in practice, as it says that this isn't a problem of technology, or measuring ability.

The article (i'm sure you know already, having linked it, but just so you know that I know) suggested that the whole thing wasn't about denying moveme...

I didn't say this earlier, but I did kind of think that there is a smallest point, and things do actually just teleport kinda, from one point to the n...

That article that Michael posted is actually quite helpful.

I enjoyed spending time with her a whole lot. She used to sleep all day and be up all night, so I usually didn't get to see her until like 11 pm. I'd ...

I didn't think she was dumb, and I enjoyed her stories. I just felt like I was learning a lot more about her than she was about me. I only would have ...

I tried to convince myself that I was in love... but I knew that I really only liked how hot she was, and was totally ready to settle... no one's perf...

As long as it's not her ass right? That would be bad...

I see a big difference between things with brains though. I prefer "intention" or "emotion" as what I'd call fundamental to living things, and not rea...

Yeah, they sound like winners...

I was just reading stuff on Cracked and saw that on a "14 things happening right now" article from a couple of days ago. I've never read the Daily Mai...

Plants are slow moving, they look a lot more alive sped up. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b8p5GErAJWw First using gravity, and then light to balance...

So, I hear that Wikipedia has decided to start rejecting the Daily Mail as a source, concluding the most popular news paper in the world (online at le...

Nah, nah Whatshisface explains the cogent underlining wedgejelly underwhich maths number. Number again and again, stop for a moment to flipaboutface a...

It's wishy-washy because it no longer is controversial, nor significant. Sometimes we don't realize what worse luck our bad luck saved us from, as the...

Doesn't change anything. All evil that actually happens is good, and any preventable evil couldn't possibly happen, or it wouldn't be true that evil l...

That's a really bad argument... just for aesthetics. See, if all evil is necessary to achieve a greater good, then all evil itself is actually good. P...

Half of the time it is.

Golf and women's volleyball are the only good spectator sports.

Just good ol'Arny https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Hqniwefrec See, cheat and be a selfish sociopath, and you'll succeed in all areas of your life, and...

Rick and Morty is the only good thing on TV, and it might still be good this coming season... might... Not looking forward to any movies either, even ...

I usually just minimize them when nothing is happening, and then just look at it when it sounds interesting. Hearing is my best sense anyway.

Games are more engaging than movies or tv, I have a hard time paying attention to them, and particularly sitting through a whole movie. Particularly t...

See when I'm old, I'll be like the wise, worldly, lyrical type. I will be as their father, they comes to me for advices... and it won't be that hard f...

And if you don't, then you'll be some weird fucking outcast that doesn't know what any male under forty is talking about half of the time.

I'd probably be prime minister by now!

Socrates might have talked about universals, but it was Kant that truly made us universal thinkers. He inferred that the milky way is our galaxy sidew...

I doubt that Socrates was a platonist, lol. Yeah, he said lots of stuff, but he also denied really knowing anything. The point of most of his discussi...
