ALTHOUGH, ANY ISSUE, here, could VERY EASILY and VERY SIMPLY BE RESOLVED if 'this one' JUST DEFINED and CLARIFIED its OWN UNIQUE, USE OF, LANGUAGE, and ESPECIALLY SO WHEN ASKED TO.

Seriously? that is really lame. I suppose you are right about my great grandchildren. They are not yet grown up.
your COMPREHENSION SKILL IS ABSOLUTELY SKEWED, TWISTED, and WAY OFF.

ABSOLUTELY NO one, besides your OWN IMAGINATION thought, implied, NOR said ABSOLUTELY ANY thing ABOUT ANY 'grandchildren', YET here you are 'grandchildren' is what you 'saw', and 'concluded', in 'those writings'.

YET you USE 'language', and A 'system of grammar', which AT TIMES does NOT MAKE ANY SENSE, TO ANY one BUT you, and is OBVIOUSLY NOT 'universal' NOR 'intelligible'.

you INABILITY TO JUST COMPREHEND and UNDERSTAND what others are ACTUALLY MEANING, from the words that they ACTUALLY USE, ALSO HIGHLIGHTS you have MORE TO LEARN, and UNDERSTAND, here, "yourself".

I suppose not, suh. (accent of a British man being rebuked).
I have a son, who has been on his own for several years now, he is the same age as one of my grandsons. So, I have lived far from a lonely life.
ONCE MORE, what you SAY and WRITE, here, does NOT 'logically follow'.

Now, HOW can 'the conclusion', 'So, I have lived far from a lonely life', (besides after ABSOLUTELY NOTHING AT TO DO WITH what you are REPLYING TO), does NOT 'follow, logically', FROM the preceding sentence, and CLAIM.

This IS your CLAIM, here.

P1. I have a son.
P2. My son has been on his own for several years now.
P3. My son is the same age as one of my grandsons is.
C. So, I have lived far from a lonely life.

LOL For all 'we' KNOW you have NEVER even met your son NOR grandson because they live in ANOTHER country. PLUS the near COUNTLESS OTHER VARIABLES, here, that might apply.

AGAIN, NOT much of what you SAY and WRITE, here, 'logically follows'. And, VERY RARELY what you SAY and WRITE, here, DIRECTLY FOLLOWS ON FROM what you are REPLYING TO, EXACTLY.

Chat GPT wrote:"Binary incursion" is not a widely recognized term in general discourse, and its meaning can depend on the context in which it's used. However, we can break down the term:

Binary refers to something involving two parts, often related to binary code in computing, where information is represented using two states (0 and 1). It can also refer to anything with two components or categories.

Incursion typically means an invasion or intrusion, especially a sudden or brief one, into another area, often with a sense of conflict or disturbance.

Combining these ideas, "binary incursion" could potentially refer to:

A digital or cyber-related attack – In the context of computer science or cybersecurity, it might refer to an intrusion involving binary data (such as a virus or malware using binary code to breach a system).

A two-part or dual-process invasion – It might be used more metaphorically to describe a situation where two factors or forces invade or disrupt a system or environment in a coordinated manner, possibly related to technology, military tactics, or even political discourse.
Phil8659 wrote: Tue Apr 08, 2025 12:45 am You do not seem to grasp the idea behind the definition of a thing. Binary recursion always produces a binary result.
This means, as a form of life, our purpose was put into a metaphor "To have life, and have it more abundantly."
This is Cowardly Phil trying to hide behind more terms he randomly combined to mean something he wont admit.

Coward wont define his words.

Coward hides from accountability.

Coward comes to a philosophy forum, and explains purpose in metaphor.
"Binary recursion", not "binary incursion". Phil hallucinates that binary recursion is everywhere because that nutcase Plato said something like that.

The fact that we tend to use binary systems in language, thought, computers etc. because they are simple and efficient, and not because binary is hard-wired into the world, went above his head many decades ago.

Wittgenstein? Well you should not have to read much of him before you know you can shit can his works.

Plato is hard for people to understand, because they cannot follow him in his dialogs well, For example, he was a teacher of dialectic, A science based on pure intellectual metaphysics. If anyone had understood what he was doing, they would have known how to order his works, and how he was giving examples by his dialogs how to use it to reason with.
We use his concepts in Arithmetic, Algebra, and Euclidean Geometry, but people are trained to be free in common grammar, so they think that they can use common grammar they way they were taught it in school, which makes no effort at all to teach anyone how to reason with it.
That is why I do my grammar project and bother the shit out of people. I am testing to see if anyone, after long years of bull-shit common grammar, can grasp pure reasoning. Habit are if not impossible to break, very hard.
The common teaching of common grammar is that there are many parts of speech because it is not based on any standard of information processing, as the computer demonstrates today. A computer process electricity, parses electricity to do all it can do, and it has no limits of application.

So, As Plato was trying to do, so am I trying. Show how it is done, dialectic, the pure intelligible, over common grammar. It is easy in arithmetic, Algebra and Geometry, but nobody has done it for common grammar.

Only a person with a passion for Truth and the intelligence trace it to its source, can actually ever know what Philosophy is and maybe even become a philosopher.

Like the computer, Plato divided first, the Universe into the fi8nite and infinite.
Then between the intelligible and perceptible.
Then the intelligible between the sciences devoted to crafting things, and pure science.
Intelligence is divided likewise, those who pursue the perceptible, and those who pursue pure knowledge.

Parsing information is rather liberal, for those whose concern of work with the perceptibles of social life.
Parsing information is rigidly defined by "names in accordance with the truth of things.' This science, very few actually care about.

Take this Forum, run by those whose only concern is selling heaps of words for profit. The only truth that concerns them is profit, not truth.
When I was in diapers, I had my first epiphany, Before I could even speak English, I knew for certain that there was a right way to do anything.
When I had my only I.Q. test, performed by the state, he said, I could be anything I wanted to be, I had a very high I.Q.
Then, well past puberty, I was introduced to something not human who in short, told me to go for it, but I never thought I could.

But, I now know, I can.

Most people think it makes them appear smart, claiming that they are looking for truth, as if truth were something perceptible. This same farce is maintained by those who have found god.

You have to realize, on some level, that you not only have a purpose, but that purpose is the regulation of behavior, starting with your own. There is a right way to behave. A mind produces all of the behaviors of the body. i.e., there is a right way to do anything. By biological fact, we produce the behavior of our own body. We regulate, or do not regulate, our own behavior.

So, any one claiming, in the light of facts they have lived with their whole life, that this is not true, is as stupid as one can get.

Our job is the regulation of behavior.

Science tells you that is your job, your purpose.
Social Law tells you that is your purpose.
And if you actually read the Bible, it tells you the same thing.

Our job, the regulation of behavior, has two branches, one according to the stupid, and one according to the intelligent.

There is factually, no mystery about it.

Life's original purpose is the propagation of life.
In man this is not enough.
Men need a purpose, above that of animals, to focus their creative minds, to give direction to their will.

Every man gives himself a purpose, so as to give meaning to his suffering.
Usually men find collective purposes in ideologies and dogmas.
If purpose were universal then men would have no free-will and would be determined by said purpose.
God's will would determine their purpose.
Modern men have replaced the absolutist ideal of god's will with the idea of absolute order, calling it determinism.
They want to be given a purpose, because they fear the responsibility of giving themselves one.

God's announced death, has left a void in their spirit.
They need god, or a comparable absolute to give them what they cannot give themselves - a motive and a scapegoat, to blame when their motives lead to negative consequences.

But your words, here, keep proving that you have not yet grasped 'reasoning', itself, let alone 'pure reasoning'.

For example,
I have a son.
My son has been on his own for several years now.
My son is the same age as one of my grandsons.
Therefore, I have lived far from a lonely life.


Is NOT a logical thought, and is NOT 'reasoned thinking' AT ALL.

And 'this' was just one of your many 'unreasonable thoughts', here.

Plato divided between the perceptible and the intelligible.
And this same division was made in religion and science
The common man, has no criteria for a god, other than some of what you mention.
However, the Philosopher, as they divided the Universe, between the finite and infinite, i.e., binary,
Plato made the physical universe the body of God, i.e., all the power in the universe materially.
And the mind of God, the reason by which the universe is actually expressed, and it works like this.

All a mind can do is process information, all information is processed in binary. Therefore, there is pure reason, often called pure science, which applies to Common Grammar, Arithmetic Algebra and Geometry.

Or in the terms of Confucius, which you find in his Rectification of Names. So, the Bible calls such a person a prophet, or seer, Plato called him the Philosopher, Confucius, the superior man.

To the common man, he often envisions a perceptible and material god, while the superior man, god is an intelligible, the only power of the universe, mirrored by intelligence.

When you say and write the word 'it', here, what are you referring to, exactly?

Do you think or believe that 'you' are a so-called "philosopher"?

If yes, then what is 'philosophy', to you, and what is 'it', exactly, that makes 'you' a so-called "philosopher", exactly?
