>>25637660I really, really like genre/trope tag systems for webnovel sights, its a really modern system that aids discovery kind of like Steam. Tags benefit indie outcasts a ton, it almost guarantees a few genre lovers will find youBut the problem with tag systems is that they fundamentally conflict with plot twists. You now have to tag your plot twist and ruin it, or not tag it and risk drawing the ire of the tag purist cartel. I can't think of an elegant way to solve this flaw of tag systems

Was Quine the first redditor?
>>25637111I was rehearsing the argument of the book I brought up, as an example of the sort of thing you might have done, fuckwad. Besides, you disagreeing with me here contravenes your initial point, the spark of this whole argument. What are you even saying? I asked you to give an example (one would have done) of an analytic philosopher repeating the mistakes of a presocratic.W is not an analytic philosopher, and if he is, it is only the most tenuous attribution. Like I said, only familiarity with the literature on him will convince you of this. The fact of his early association with Russell ignores the facts that he told Russell (& Moore) that he'd never understand the Tractatus (he eviscerated Russell's introduction) & that he understood nothing of the PI. (You want more facts about Russell's relationship with W? Just ask. I have many ready to go, all unfavourable to you.)And, even if he was, the example you gave, of Family Resemblance being 'refuted' by Aristotle does no justice to the reason of that concept's (if it is one) employment, which is the sine qua non of Wittgenstein's introducing any device in his, first and foremost and always, therapeutic philosophy. And this is a thread on Quine, mind you.
>>25637154Inb4 retards:Nominalism is the denial of samness of identity/quality in multiple instances of different things (like two minds, or two objects) such as the identity of the same words in a sentence shared by two minds — aka dialectics (communication: literally 'shared unity').

>>25632308Seems a reasonable enough statement. (the pictured quote) >>>/reddit/
>>25637157Fact remains you've just not read any analytic philosophy. You have the opinion, dull as everyone who has it, that analytic philosophy (apparently a homogenous phenomenon) is uniformly shallow for, in this case, its apparent ahistoricity. I can give you umpteen recommendations of historically versed leading analytic philosophers.
I went for a walk, figured today might be different. Dark came early, got out, warm breath on the air. Ended up at the park, sat down, didn’t do anything, just listened. Buttons had been pushed earlier the way they always get pushed, giving that was never free, a tab that always comes back, resetting every week back to nice back to talkative, reading rooms before you even knew that’s what you were doing. But then just birds mixing with traffic, faint voices somewhere not close enough to make out, just present, and everything loud inside went quiet. Friend showed up, just kept talking, in the zone, this and that, one thing into the next, and I just let them, you can’t match that energy, I wanted to feel the whole day the whole night all of it, outside but in, hold it somewhere, not talk over it. There was an ice skating rink, lit up, people moving in circles, their own little world that didn’t know about any of the rest of the day. Sat outside just watching people pass. Warmth. Families. Couples. All of it going by and I’m just there. Still.
I see you I feel you

In the back of the club, she waited, but her friend didn't show up. Shewent out for a few minutes, waiting at the top of the staircase. Lookingaround the dark street trying to make up her mind. What was broken insideof her led her back into the club. She set her self up. Straight legjeans and a simple blouse, thin brown hair. Thin sleek body. Young andplain. Still, she was younger than most women in the club, and young isenough. Again in the back of the club. Crossing her arms, moving around abit. Sitting by yourself is an invitation. Cruisers approach her oneafter another. Eventually, what she waited for begins. He is a broadshouldered brooklynite. Black haired with a poor complexion. He works herfoot after she gives her permission, his fingers kneading, working thetoes, the ridged parts. It makes no difference to her who he is. He hashands, a mouth.

I don't like the topic the style and the form. Sorry, anon. Do better.
>Kant, the smartest and most important philosopher in 300 yearsWas he retarded?
>>25635091But there's no essential difference between those things, is there? Here's "don't lie" as an if-then statement: If you don't believe something, don't profess it to be true. Likewise you could just create a word that means "lies that are unjustified" and make your maxim not to tell those. Hell, that's already what we've done with the word "murder."
>>25635698You’re not wrong anon. Hegel points out in his PoS that absolutely any proposition is conceivably universal. This is one of the weakest points in Kant. However the stipulation I think still stands that Law needs to be absolute because independent of the sensible world. Whatever the laws themselves may be they would still not allow exceptions, in Kantian thought, and that’s independent of the issue of knowing what the law is to begin with.
>>25635698> Likewise you could just create a word that means "lies that are unjustified" and make your maxim not to tell thoseThe point is you’re including a certain amount of flexibility/ambiguity in your law that could easily be exploited. Thereby defeating the point of the law. You end up universalising a maxim which allows people to lie according to their own discretion, which is the same thing as having no law at all. It has to be absolute or it all falls apart
>>25633922Kant was retarded. He's popular because everyone else was/is also retarded.
>>25635401>You cannot judge actions by their future outcomes, but by their actual moral value.freudian slip lmao. and in a way you are causing it directly - I haven't read (much) Kant, but is it not the proposition that it is your 'duty' to do your duty, and thus to take responsibility for your duty, and the consequences into the future you argue for ignore the immediate future, ie Kants mom getting killed right after he tells the truth, let alone far off hypotheticals into the future.
What's the hardest you ever laughed at something you've read? I remember my friend wrote this troll creepypasta in 6th grade about some kid trying to summon a succubus and writing about it in his diary. I can't remember most of it, but the kid eventually summons a fucking archdemon on accident because "he forgot the fucking salt," and it starts killing him. He's running away from the demon as he's writing and The last lines goes like: "I'm being ripped apart as I write this, (im using my own blood) and I guess we can all say, succubus pussy is to..... DIE for! AhahahahahahAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!" still blows my fucking sides apart to this day.

How have you immersed yourself into philosophy and not come to the conclusion that it's all just meaningless, pointless bullshit?
>>25636040This is sadly true. A solid grounding in philosophy/metaphysics will help you get a better grasp of alternative lines of thought, however, although these alternative lines of thought cannot help you get a better grasp of philosophy. These alternative lines of thinkings include readings of the Tao Te Ching, the Bible, and esoteric christian teachings, to name a few. It may also deepen your appreciation of poetry in general.
>>25636070Hate it when zoomers mistake homosexuality for aesthetics.
>>25636040Honestly, if you aren't planning on astral projecting to call everything you meet a bunch of faggots and losers in the most sophisticated and adhoc ways possible there is no real value to most philosophy.Unless you want to be a public speaker then being able to flex some charisma with your speech is good,
>>25636928>astral projectingWhat good is this
>>25636040I have come to the conclusion that asking what the meaning of life is, or why we are here, or what purpose our existence serves, is a pointless question. The ability to ask such a question does not mean the question is rational or that it merits an answer. If you travel to the north pole and ask a person standing there how to go further north, they'll tell you the question doesn't make any sense. You're as far north you can get. If you ask someone what the smell of a triangle is, they will tell you shapes don't have specific smells.Asking what the meaning of life is exactly like that. You can say the words "what the meaning of life?", but that doesn't mean the question makes sense. Life *is*. It's not the answer to something. It's an imperative.
