You said god. I didn't say god. I have the same relationship to my apy ancestors that I have to the single cell. Again: Why stop at ape? Why not say w...

I never said we're smart. We're dumb. I said we are beautiful in the mode of the sublime. "A joke set beside the sublimity of man."

It will teach us patience.

Thanks. It's a disagreement over connotation. No one is right or wrong. It feels powerful and righteous to say I am not an ape, I am human.

I agree we are closely related. Too closely. I hope we become less and less closely related to the apes. To look back on the ape as today we look back...

I laugh at apes. They're a laughing-stock. A joke set beside the sublimity of man.

It's an imprecise use of language and we should not be comfortable with it.

Science draws funny lines. Science doesn't draw the only lines. It's easy to argue humans aren't apes. The jury would not be hung.

That isn't known, to my knowledge. What's known is we are no longer apes. To call us apes is to say something untrue.

It inspires me to continue to become larger than I am. In incites me to continue to master the arts of peace, intellect, wisdom and glory. It's a ques...

We actually aren't apes. Our ancestors were apes. You might as well say we're a single cell. Or pre-gelid cosmic dust. Or a singularity. Why stop at a...

Strictly speaking we are absolutely not apes. We are human.

Also the notion of the intellectual in the Nietzschean sense is far cry from the contemporary notion. "It is the intellect that saves us from being ut...

Without the intellectuals we would still be apes.

So "Banno" refers and "1" doesn't. Maybe so. Maybe not.

I'm sure Harry Hindu agrees language can both be about stuff and do other things as well. But I remember a thing about the non-referentiality of the T...

Nothing controversial about that.

I believe I've heard Banno say language is non-referential. Words don't refer to anything. So why would "1" be the exception?

Forum members who've spent any amount of time in dialogue with Banno know he's all about force and politics. (For all his emphasis on a foundational c...

Published it or self-published it?

That's a compelling argument.

Is that settled science?

StreetlightX" refers to StreetlightX, whereas "1" refers to "1".

The raindrop in reverse: 1-1=2. The split worm: 1=2.

Not wrong. Insane.

No such thing.

There's an old saying about beauty and seeing it.

It ought to read: I saw God yesterday, therefore God existed yesterday. Today is a new mystery.

Of course they faked them. We didn't need an intelligence agency to tell us that.

Thanks.

Nowhere in the link you provided does it say a word about Democrat v. Republican voters. Can you provide a Rasmussen quote for non-subscribers?

Yeah I was kidding when I said there's no such thing... In most minds there's no such thing.

There's no such thing. Lol
