kigsYou are looking at black marks on an electronic screen. Some people call these words.
Are there levels of truth? If something is slightly false, is it impossible for it to also be true?
You are looking at black marks on an electronic screen. Then, you are telling yourself that they form words. Then, you extract meaning from the organization of these words.
Since words are not symonomous with their meanings in the same way that a picture of an apple is not an apple then, in presenting you with words, I am presenting you with an image which you draw meaning from. As the meaning is not the same as the word, and two seperate messages cannot be the same truth, then I am telling you lies. Further more, you are willingly believing my lies.
All words are made of a little bit of lies, since they are not equal to the truth.
This represents a viewpoint that I have heard.
I think this is a bad viewpoint, but I want more opinions.
What do you think?

Date: 2006-11-16 06:50 am (UTC)Perhaps it was fallacy to cite Schrodinger. However, what I posed was merely a modernized understanding of the phenomenon- challenging not the realm of possibilities, but instead the manner in which they are organized prior to observation... and certainly not the original theories under which the feline's best interests fell and perished.
But alas, my formal training in metaphysics extends no further than recipiency of the Lungpower Award from UKRR. (University of Kenny Rogers' Roasters)
So in Ad Hominem's glorious spirit, I shall withdraw my crackpot claims and take up gardening to fill the void it has left in my soul.
But btw, the cat more accurately describes your current dillema than does the apple... as you are fretting the untruth of words chosen to represent events when the very recipient of those words has no other window into said events, and until so doing, has grounds to neither propose falsity, nor to substantiate any claims from the source party.
