Subject: RE: This thread does not exist :) From: hesperis Date: 29 Jan 01 - 06:50 PM ..... nobody hears it land except for various grubs, caterpillars, birds, and bacteria, depending on the time of year, but, as they cannot communicate effectively with scientists, the scientists merely postulate that the thread was not HEARD to fall, and therefore it does not exist... |
Subject: RE: This thread does not exist :) From: GUEST,Jean-Paul Sartre Date: 29 Jan 01 - 06:50 PM I perceive the absence of the necessary constiuent parameters to define 'threadness', but if more answers keep being posted, 'existence' will explicitly overlay the very non-existence first posited, and thus be subsumed under even ambiguous referential concepts. Look what happened to Descartes when he tried to attain self-referential relationship with 'being'! |
Subject: RE: This thread does not exist :) From: mousethief Date: 29 Jan 01 - 06:54 PM I always wondered, Hesp, about the very anthropocentric presuppositions of the classic falling-tree philosophical conundrum. Are "sounds" only those vibrations heard by humans? |
Subject: RE: This thread does not exist :) From: hesperis Date: 29 Jan 01 - 07:03 PM Not being a scientist, I could only give you the truth. *g* If a bird sings in the forest, he or she will of course, hear the sound. Therefore there is someone there to hear it. The very quetion "if a tree falss..." bla bla bla, assumes that there can be a situation where a tree falls without someone or *something* hearing it. Jean-Paul Sartre - Masterful! (Nice to see you back from the dead!) (See, LH? Ghosts don't exist, either!) |
Subject: RE: This thread does not exist :) From: mousethief Date: 29 Jan 01 - 07:09 PM Can a tree be in the forest without SOMETHING that could hear it if it fell? Doubtful. |

Subject: RE: This thread does not exist :) From: Bill D Date: 29 Jan 01 - 09:10 PM The tree thing is an example of a language/definition problem....when I was in college, we had an example in, I believe, "Pragmatism" by Will James.... He told of once being on a camping trip wtih several men, and returning to camp to find them arguing about a squirrel on a tree, whic was trying, as squirrels do, to not be seen and to hide from the men on the other side of the tree.....so, the guys were were arguing about whether , by trying to see the squirrel and running in circles around the tree, they were also going 'around' the squirrel, who was usually fast enough to be always facing them. So James said it was simply a matter of deciding what YOU meant by 'around'...if you wanted to CALL it 'around' when you had been to N,S,E & W of the squirrel, then sure...if you wanted 'around' to mean ONLY getting behind the squirrel, then no..... And the tree noise is similar....if all you mean by sound is whether vibrations were caused in the earth and air, sure...if you **MEAN** by sound, is those vibrations being picked up by a human eardrum and transmitted to a brain and interpretated and such...then no...... very many 'hard' questions are dealt with by just asking the question a bit differently |

Subject: RE: This thread does not exist :) From: Little Hawk Date: 30 Jan 01 - 10:48 AM There is so much not to talk about on this thread that I hardly know where to stop... "Vulcan scientish Kiri-kin-tha's 1st Law of Metaphysics: "Nothing unreal exists". Kiri-kin-tha is unreal. Therefore, he is bringing into question his own existence by positing the above law. The question is: Does "nothing" exist? Is "nothing" something? If it isn't, then how can we discuss it? If nothing is the alternative to something, which seems pretty straightforward, then something must be the alternative to nothing, therefore nothing must exist because otherwise it wouldn't be there so that something could be its alternative. And where is "here"? The Incredible Hulk asked that question once, and never got a credible answer from anyone. I don't think I've said enough. Hello. - LH

Subject: RE: This thread does not exist :) From: mousethief Date: 30 Jan 01 - 02:24 PM 243. "This thread does not exist," someone proclaims, as if this means something. Here "means something" is taken to mean, "has a truth relationship with an externally existing reality." 244. Imagine a game in which children pretend to be either a famous historical character, or an equally famous fictional character. In this game, the child who is "it" might ask, "Do you exist?" and the child pretending to be a fictional character might say, "No, I do not exist." Is he telling the truth? What does he mean when he says this? 245. In this game, imagine now that not only people but things can be "played" by the children. One of the things that might be "played" could be a thread in an online discussion forum. 246. When I say, "I do not exist," while playing a thread, can another child point to me, and say, "This thread does not exist?" 247. Are self-referential sentences meaningful? Is this one? 248. Further imagine that the children decide to stop playing this game in order to have lunch. But the child who is "it" has not yet guessed the identity of the child who is playing a nonexistent thread, and they agree to pick up after lunch right where they left off. Can the latter child then say, "I used to not exist, and I will not exist again after lunch, but for now I don't not exist"? 249. When words are meaningless, it is wise to be silent.

If it doesn't exist, then you can't click on it, therefore you can't know whether or not it points to the thread which doesn't exist or not.
