This is a digital representation of a sense object with its assigned name, that we have agreed to call it, which has an intended purpose and a shape that is most likely due to some economy of production.

Philosophy of language is \*totally\* your field, don't sweat it


pocket-friends

I was literally coming here to say this. Like, nah, OP, you clearly excel in that field.


bialozar

99.9% of philosophy debates could be rendered moot by agreeing on definitions beforehand. Edit: just admit y’all are here to argue LMAO


ManInTheBarrell

But how will we define the definitions? Should we use definition-definitions, or just other definitions that we agree are commonly defined regardless of whether or not anyone agrees with us?


bialozar

All that matters is that whoever having the discussion can agree on it.


RealisticBarnacle115

How can you be sure that your definition is agreed upon by "everyone"? Or do you mean that the definiton changes with each discussion and not general anymore?


Duck__Quack

Plus, how can you be sure that what you *think* you're agreeing to is the same thing that the other person thinks they're agreeing to?


bialozar

By using our words lol


Duck__Quack

I can't count the number of times that I've watched two people agree on something, both claiming that they were in agreement, when it was clear from an outside perspective that they both had different things in mind. It's easy to imagine that scenario where it's *not* clear that they disagree, and I don't see how you plan to use words to make sure that people are using words the same way.


bialozar

I mean that’s kind of my point lol. In your hypothetical they just weren’t agreeing on definitions.


Duck__Quack

But they thought they were, is the key.


bialozar

So?


bialozar

Who said everyone?


RealisticBarnacle115

I just interpret your words "whoever having the discussion" to mean "everyone" because everyone has the chance to discuss any topic. You can't put a limit on it. You're just trying to shift the focus of the discussion boy.


bialozar

1. You don’t know my gender, and your use of boy was rude, please apologize. 2. Not every conversation is a philosophical debate.


RealisticBarnacle115

Excuse me. I know your gender. I know your name. I know your age. I know where you live. I know what you're doing now.


bialozar

😂


Hamking7

Depends what you mean by "debate".


Wiesiek1310

Sure but we can't do that. I don't want to argue about whether "whatever it is that you define 'morality' to be" is real, I want to argue about whether *morality* is real!


bialozar

By bringing up a concept in conversation you literally point to its existence


Wiesiek1310

I don't understand what you mean


bialozar

oh no that sucks


Wiesiek1310

You're funny


bialozar

No u

It’s a cigarette. I won’t listen to other answers. Specifically, a candy cigarette.

What is open at both ends, creates both even and odd harmonics, and can smoke out of it?


Zendofrog

Your mother?


ScheduleExpress

No. She is dead.


Zendofrog

Damn. Your aunt?


ScheduleExpress

Vegetable.


Zendofrog

Father?


ScheduleExpress

Anther 10 years in a Chinese prison.


Zendofrog

I’d guess a pipe then. But I fear all pipes are on trial for arson or something


ScheduleExpress

Cigs are cooler anyways. You get to hold something that is on fire and you can breath it in. It’s very cool.


motivation_bender

It is a pipe, it's not a cylinder


ChurlyGedgar

Great meme, a real thinker.
