Yeah and you retards are arguing a disease of language that has infiltrated mathematics and what we describe as logic.

>implying i didn't drop out to work as a freelance programmer

>implying i don't read graduate level math texts like novels

im probably the smartest person on this board

op, seems like you just have come out of the anal. See you in the alps.

Also, define language. It's possible to convey meaning or information without any abstract form of representation, especially 'language'. Anything else is academic nonsense or nonsense.

Where does a definition lead us but to other definitions?

quit playing language games, op

do something useful like work on a farm

any other americans jelly of the britfag education system? they get to focus on a few subjects at a time that are in the field they are studying. they dont' have to be bogged down with retarded useless bullshit. how many times have you had some bullshit liberal arts test interfere with your homework/studying for an actual class?

what really grinds my balls is that its not about being "well rounded" its about the universities coming up with any reason to suck money out of your asshole with no regard to the greater good for their students or society as a whole.

I think the reason pushing the fat guy is felt to be wrong is because we intuitively know that the fat guy could push us too.

This just further hilights how our sense of right and wrong develops out of selfish interests and has nothing to do with a greater good. If there is some greater good as a result of our morality it is just an emergent result and not the basis of it.

>/sci/ is still unable to understand that science is philosophy

>The proper method of philosophy would be this: To say nothing except what can be said, i.e. the propositions of natural science, i.e. something that has nothing to do with philosophy: and then always, when someone else wished to say something metaphysical, to demonstrate to him that he had given no meaning to certain signs in his propositions. This method would be unsatisfying to the other -- he would not have the feeling that we were teaching him philosophy -- but it would be the only strictly correct method.

Is this /sci/'s view?

lol consensus in economics community if interest rates were raised after 08 we would have had a deflationary spiral and depression just like during the great depression

go back to your gold bug bullshit and keep ignoring history and common sense, ronpaultard

wittgenstein

does the term and concept of depression as a disease marginalize the actual existential issues intelligent humans beings have to deal with?

oh you're thinking about the meaningless of existence? what are you sad? lol. you're just depressed.

>What qualifies as sport

So sci, I have a question

If gayness is not inherited according to faggot religious people, is there anyway to turn me gay?

This is because all the girls I meet tend to have a strong lacking in their intelligence. Most if not all are pretty much not worthy to have a indepth discussion with. The ones that are are pretty disgusting.

However, I know a lot of guys who are intelligent, and according to others good looking. They are knowledgeable and much more interesting then females tend to be.

I value intelligence and reasonableness as well as having interest in knowledge as necessary for any long term relationship. With that said, i think my chances of being gay will fulfill that better.

tl;dr how can I become sexually attracted to guys?

pic related, some faggot

lol, the pseudo problem of induction

hey popper why u mad
