Another happy pig for your appeasement: https://thumbs.dreamstime.com/b/big-pig-very-pink-female-resting-under-sun-71153297.jpg

Pigs are very anxious animals: https://thumbs.dreamstime.com/b/fat-big-pig-leaning-over-back-another-pig-breeding-pigs-73908149.jpg

What does a pig symbolize for you?

Oh hello there it's me, a pig: https://thumbs.dreamstime.com/b/big-fat-pig-huge-pasturing-farm-69596681.jpg

Colorado has legalized psychedelic mushrooms. Now what? Not about hedonism; but, more about therapy with psychedelics.

I'd counter that the pain caused by not being wealthy or beautiful is not apparent in smoking cannabis. If that were true, is Canada also traumatized ...

I liked the Blue and Brown books more, due to elucidating the nature of this thread. Thank God people took notes during his lectures at Cambridge.

Ethics is not a mute field. The Tractatus was a book about ethics in large part.

Pigs are quite forracious. Yes, that's a new word.

Yes, it's still to my astonishment that I can buy 3.5g or 1/8 oz. of cannabis at a local dispensary. They can deliver it to my residence. Yes, and one...

Even though the hoi polloi collected and organized, contacted their representatives and then legalized hemp and cannabis across US states? I credit th...

I believe they like in their diet fly agar.

Of course. Otherwise that would constitute animal abuse. Starving a pig is not morally permissable.

Well, I'm sure that it would search for truffles somewhere. But, at that size it must have found them all.

Here's a random pig: http://www.elliscannon.com/PSR/sites/default/files/pot-belly-pig_0.jpg

You might want to see what Frege meant by "nonsense" before reading the Tractatus. He borrows a lot of terminology from Frege and precise stipulations...

I think in terms of how Wittgenstein approached the analysis of meaning in the Tractatus is most compatible with science. Thus, (and it's only my opin...

I believe that logic was too broad. It seems as though Wittgenstein set up the cart correctly, with logical analysis behind ordinary language. Let me ...

I didn't want to edit the previous post, because this follows. However, in my opinion proposal theories of language are myopic because the supposition...

I side with the earlier Wittgenstein; in that he was mostly correct about logical forms instead of forms of life. Here's why, due to the logical synta...

Correct me if wrong, but it's been directed by Trump that we return to the moon by 2025 and set up lunar bases.

On point. Maybe @"T Clark" can comment on us setting up lunar bases on the moon. I suppose not many people would care; but it's long overdue.

Yeah, well I think the hoi polloi wouldn't much care. But, for those that live an examined life, maybe?

I believe that the reason for this are natural factors that cannot be accounted for ethically. These natural or social issues, such a living in povert...

I have the Pixel 5. I just got it for 5G connectivity. I don't care for a 30 MP camera on a phone. Go figure.

Wouldn't you want to work for NASA?

Yes, well, if it was worth saying. I don't think I need the new Google Pixel 7 Pro or the mePhone 14 Pro. I'm quite content with what I have already.

Soo, when we talk about God, or Allah, are those supposed entities or do they just have a historical background? Are you noticing that the lines are g...

It's important to know that there's always a pig waiting for you to become a companion in your life: https://th.bing.com/th/id/OIP.QYcERbpGte5y5OjevmI...

Psychologically, that makes sense. But, I believe language acquisition came first or its primacy dominates over psychologies, not depersonalization.

Yet, we refer to him as a person in everyday language. Is that a feature of language, and why is that so?

I'm going to continue with the analogy of utilizing the modal phrase of whether I should become what I am not in terms of what one ought to do. Counte...

What kind? What methodology ought one adopt if not an ordinary language one? That's all we can default towards. So, methodological nominalism prevails...

Santa is a person that ascribes a jolly old man over at the North Pole. He is known by two names, both "Santa Claus" and "St. Nicholas". Soo, what can...

Yes, well, if you pick up my gist, my intention here is to suppose that Santa has no referent outside of his fiction that are elucidated by his ascrip...

To suppose Santa's existence is to ontologically ascribe him to the domain of discourse based of of his fiction as an entity. Yet, a fictitious entity...

Can Santa be his own referent since he doesn't denote anything in the real world?

Yes, so why is it necessarily an oxymoron? Must Santa denote something the the world or can he just denote his own descriptions as I already believe h...

Yes, this is quite upsetting to say the least, and to add to the confusion, then what does Santa denote? Or is that the wrong way to present the issue...

Yes, I say that because being something you aren't isn't really necessary if who you are is good enough. Bullshitting entails wanting to say or doing ...

The good, a thoughtful life, being virtuous? Why do you ask?

Oh, so there's nothing to discuss then. I thought that bullshitting was morally detrimental to ethics.

So, why do you disagree?

What do you mean by "no"?

I'd say there is nothing circular, and my previous comment almost sounds like a Q.E.D why Frankfurt is right about the dangers of bullshitting...

Well, Frankfurt says that there are people who lie, there are people that bullshit, and there are people that tell the truth. With these three cases w...

Better than bullshitting, no? :wink:

So, you say that's it's hard as does frank. So, being ethical is hard? What's hard about accepting oneself as she or he is?

Yet, integrity doesn't exist in a vacuum, does it?
