Because someone said if you assume a b and c then d, ohh shit e f g h i j too, maybe even x y and z.

And no one has had a problem with a b or c at any point in time and we're onto zzzzzzz

Invented. If only there was a career in this.

What's quite funny to me is that whilst posting in this thread I was really drunk and I seemingly mostly made sense. I sent some text messages around the same time and they mostly didn't.

You're saying language could become a thing like maths where everything is defined etc. Yeah maybe it could. I personally don't think that's better than what we have now, or maybe I would and I just...

No it means it wasn't defined. I have no problem with stuff being defined in multiple ways either as long as it is consistent. Not accurately conveying something means it isn't a definition. You can...

What is much more common place in maths is for someone to make a list of assumptions and you go from there. This isn't thought to be true it's jus tthought to be a usable approximation of what is...

No because with maths they are either right or wrong. With language they can take variable meanings from a phrase or more. There is a school of thought that what the artists mean is unimportant...

Ultimately tell me what is and isn't a plate. If you can list literally everything as one or the other or give me some grander meaning as to the word plate I'm all ears.

If you can convey some...

But that isn't true.

Pick any mathematical thing and I'll find you well defined definitions of every word in the definition used to define that word.

I mean I won't personally but you could.

Can I just reply no?

Plate, apple, fork are all things that aren't well defined. They are just more well defined than other words you might have been thinking of. Compared to mathematical rigour...

Numbers and maths aren't arbitrary they are well defined. Give a single example of what you mean, if true it would change maths.

Do you think words always do accurately describe information?

I saw a good video on language developing (maybe posted on here) about how it starts off with us going ohh shit I'd love that rock up...

I think the opposite is true here, as I said in my post. Most take an underlying view that maths is something that controls the universe and is true hence they are discovering it rather than making...

More correct is the important phrasing.

Science and maths has never been there to prove anything wrong it's there to, see important phrasing, move towards more correct answers. Science and...

The funny thing is if you can ask it in a non-bias way I imagine most people would say inventing in terms of what they do for their job but when quizzed on the whole invent/discover debate would say...

Sorry none of my post was intended to disagree with things you said. I expected you to agree with everything I said to a fairly strong degree and you did. It was more just pointing things out that...

I think the fact that I bring light to the bold being true means I clearly am not stating that the bold is true. What you're actually getting at is whether or not they think it's inventing or...

So don't believe in shit until it lets you get an edge in life? If you ask me (no one ever does understandably) what my thoughts are on things like the big bang etc I come to the conclusion that they...

It's relative in the fact that I know a lot of maths lecturers/professors/readers/etc compared to the average person. To you probably not* maybe go and ask some. If I was you I probably wouldn't,...

Can I not take a note from religious teaching and just say vague shit to let people draw their own understanding? The only difference is mine takes some logic to find what I'm talking about rather...

Course you do because you have dog in the fight and just realising it's all bullshit isn't enough.

What is important about humans is that we like to think about things and more than just thinking...

I thought so, see my previous answers.

It's all bollocks and there isn't some fundamental truth or meaning to everything that you're going to uncover. If you were attempting to understand this...

I know a lot* of Maths professors that would argue their job is to invent new maths.

*relative

Wuf rather than trying to get information out of people in a certain way why don't you just ask the question you really want to ask. I'd be much more inclined to give some better* answers and feel...

I think we can all agree that's definitely wrong.


Probably
