Re: Logical thinking requires Intuition

I think that Age has misapprehended the meaning of 'execute' .
For the discussion of all things philosophical.

I would argue it is equal, as any mathematician views code as aesthetically pleasing and hence a form of poetry. I would also argue that is a better median as we are not all mathematicians unless one wants to view poetry as a form of reasoning...which it is, considering all poetry is rational.
I agree with you that intuitionist logic is "where it is at", but poetry rejuventates the spirit and hence saves lives equally. The world would die without poetry and math for both are just extensions of the other...that and poetry is strictly qualitative equations where all quantity is dead without quality.TimeSeeker wrote: ↑Thu Oct 25, 2018 4:54 pmDepends on your success criteria and context.
If you just want to express yourself for its own sake - poetry is great.
If human lives depended on it, you don’t want ANY interpretation/ambiguity. You want clarity, conciseness and precision! So, don’t use poetry
For example, soldiers use the word “EXECUTE” instead of the word “GO!” When they commence action. The reason is because “GO” is phonetically similar to “NO” and causes confusion and people die...
WHAT and WHERE are you TRYING TO take this discussion?TimeSeeker wrote: ↑Fri Oct 26, 2018 2:59 pmBut there hasn’t been a major war in Europe or USA for a long time. So what are a those doctors for then?
I do NOT think I misapprehended the meaning of 'execute' at all.
What's wrong with killing people? I think you are conflating many terms here.Age wrote: ↑Sat Oct 27, 2018 5:02 am I just saw the humorous irony or coincidence that the word 'execute' can mean 'commence action', as that was what I saw "timeseeker" was using that word for, in relation to the commencement of warring, just happened be a word that coincidentally is used for KILLING PEOPLE, ALSO.
What do you think?TimeSeeker wrote: ↑Sat Oct 27, 2018 6:37 amI am asking you what we NEED doctors for if we don't have wars.
Soldiers AND doctors AND policemen AND firemen perform functions NEEDED by society.Age wrote: ↑Sat Oct 27, 2018 8:22 amWhat do you think?TimeSeeker wrote: ↑Sat Oct 27, 2018 6:37 amI am asking you what we NEED doctors for if we don't have wars.
Surely you can work that out all by your own lonesome.
Again WHERE are you TRYING TO take this discussion now?
WHY are you TRYING TO digress away from your remarks regarding soldiers, which is what I replied to?
I NEVER even suggested KILLING PEOPLE is WRONG, did I?TimeSeeker wrote: ↑Sat Oct 27, 2018 6:39 amWhat's wrong with killing people?Age wrote: ↑Sat Oct 27, 2018 5:02 am I just saw the humorous irony or coincidence that the word 'execute' can mean 'commence action', as that was what I saw "timeseeker" was using that word for, in relation to the commencement of warring, just happened be a word that coincidentally is used for KILLING PEOPLE, ALSO.
Maybe I was, let us now see if you show any evidence of this by exposing your perceived many conflated terms, or you will now just disregard that statement and move onto some thing else entirely different.
TimeSeeker wrote: ↑Sat Oct 27, 2018 6:39 amKilling is amoral. It is not value-laden.
Murder is killing, but murder is immoral.
Self-defence can also be killing, but killing in self-defence is NOT immoral.
To claim that killing in self-defence is immoral is the kind of stupid notion ideologues cling to and like to promulgate. Killing has its rare uses...

I am not digressing, you don’t understand the context.
When foreign invasions are no longer a thing, when sickness is no longer a thing, when crime is no longer a thing and when fires are no longer a thing THEN we won’t need any of those jobs.
Well, you did say that “war is made to kill people”.Age wrote: ↑Sat Oct 27, 2018 8:50 amABSOLUTELY NOTHING that I have been talking about.TimeSeeker wrote: ↑Sat Oct 27, 2018 8:30 amSoldiers AND doctors AND policemen AND firemen perform functions NEEDED by society.

ALL just an imagined assumption, based on your past experiences, that you your self have made up, which was based on yet another BELIEF of yours.

So if killing people is not wrong then war is not wrong?

It is not right either. Killing is amoral.
Which also means that war is neither right nor wrong.
War is sometimes and unfortunately necessary. Like when assholes like Hitler invade your country...
