All of that nonsense and confusion was your problem. You took a paragraph where each sentence referred to those before it and you chopped it up and pretended they were an unrelated set of sentences. That's why you could waste my patience with that pathetic failure to understand that the pronoun "it" referred to the noun from a preceding sentence.Age wrote: ↑Wed Jun 30, 2021 8:18 am
What do you mean by "categorise this information"?
And what is 'this', in relation to 'this information?What does 'it', refer to here?
And, I do NOT EVER recall insisting that 'it' is NOT a belief.
What does the 'it' word refer to here?
WHY would you call doing that "cute"?FlashDangerpants wrote: ↑Wed Jun 30, 2021 7:49 am even if you are going to try and do something cute by pretending you transcend time.
And, 'it' could be a memory without "transcending time".
Also, what ACTUALLY is 'time', to you, EXACTLY?
How would you KNOW?FlashDangerpants wrote: ↑Wed Jun 30, 2021 7:49 am It isn't something you know by virtue of having a memory of the event.
Do 'you' KNOW EVERY 'event' 'I' have been?
Also, from what you are saying here, you are OBVIOUSLY MAKING ASSUMPTIONS, and thus PRESUMING 'things', BEFORE 'you' EVER asked 'me' a CLARIFYING QUESTION, regarding 'this', or 'that'.
Yeah, when we get to those private language problems, the fact that nobody can be expected to work out what you mean by the word "i" is probably going to factor rather heavily.Age wrote: ↑Wed Jun 30, 2021 8:18 am'you' does NOT die.FlashDangerpants wrote: ↑Wed Jun 30, 2021 7:49 am So it's something you .... "know" will happen but which might not happen because possibly nobody will have any interest in you after you are dead?
What does "it's something" refer to, EXACTLY.
NOBODY is interest in 'me' now, and nor NEVER has, let alone in ANY time AFTER.
LOOK,'i' can NOT KNOW what will happen. So, 'you' are EXACTLY RIGHT, in that regards. But, because you MISSED the ACTUAL POINT that I was making, and what has ALREADY HAPPENED has EXPLAINED, what 'you' are EXACTLY RIGHT about here has ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to do with 'me'.
In the meantime, if you "think" something is going to happen in the future, but you cannot "know" what will happen in the future, then everyone who uses the English language understands that makes the thing you "think" a belief. If your contention is that everyone else in the world is wrong about this, then you are not speaking English, and we should call your language something else.
I suggest we adopt "Kenglish" as the name for the language in which all the words sound like English but their meanings are special to Ken.
So you are a sort of god are you?Age wrote: ↑Wed Jun 30, 2021 8:18 amOkay.FlashDangerpants wrote: ↑Wed Jun 30, 2021 7:49 amI don't think it would be fair for me to lay a secret trap for you. So here's how this is going to play out...
Step 1 ... we establish that "you" the HUmaN BEiNg who calls "himself" Age have a special and incompatible personal definition of what "believe" means that is at odds with that of the rest of the world.
But we will just have to WAIT and SEE.
"incompatible" relative to 'what', EXACTLY?FlashDangerpants wrote: ↑Wed Jun 30, 2021 7:49 am Step 2 ... then we discover that "you" the HUmaN BEiNg who calls "himself" Age also has a special and universally incompatible definition of what "think" means
But what 'you' have FAILED to RECOGNIZE and SEE is that 'I' am the One saying that through language and words, what thee One and ONLY ACTUAL Truth of things is can and will become KNOWN, and FULLY UNDERSTOOD. And that is BECAUSE OF and FROM using the RIGHT WORDS and the RIGHT DEFINITIONS for those words, which EVERY one can AGREE WITH and ACCEPT.FlashDangerpants wrote: ↑Wed Jun 30, 2021 7:49 am Step 3 ... possibly a short dicussion of "quus" ... you won't get that, before or after the conversation, but it basically means that we will establish that in conversation with you, nobody ever knows what any word means, and if they did, they would have no particular guide to what it means the next time you use it. Any word in Kenglish could mean anything at any time.
Step 4 ... therefore there is never under any circumstances any correct way to interpret any word or phrase that "you" the HUmaN BEiNg who calls "himself" Age ever uses.
Step 5 ... Clarifying Questions can only result in new words to ask clarifying questions about, and there is never any possibility of resolving a definition of any word "to age" except by being age himself.
Step 6 ... Therefore age, by refusing to work in the framework of a public language with shared meanings, has locked himself in a prison of private language with personal meanings that are impossible to describe and useless for communication.
Step 7 ... I told you this would happen when you were still ken.
Step 8 ... There would be no need for most of those steps if you undestood what "quus" means. But I guess this problem goes both ways.
Or are you just a delusional megalomaniac?
I don't know. I just laid out my plan. If you were smart you would realise it will work unless you suddenly come to the conclusion that actually you want to use the words to mean the same things as everyone else means when they use them.
My prediction about the future is based on you being an idiot. I'm feeling pretty secure about it.
