Satement: "I am more important than you."

Obviously the statement is an opinion, but is is right or wrong?
Is it objectively right? I'd say no.
Is it objectively wrong? I don't know.

Explain this /sci/...

Pic related, its what science can do.

Philosophy questions like this just come down to semantics 99% of the time.

Define important. Then you will have your answer.

Lets say I assume I'm more 'important' because I believe I have a larger penis than you. Would this assumption be wrong?

Notions of superiority are not objectively real. Therefore your statement is objectively false, but subjectively true for you if you believe it.

I agree with this. If we state that: "a=b", it is not objectively true fact that sits out there in the universe, but subjectively true based on internal logic (using our brain or a computer).

>> No.2551846

All opinions are wrong.

>> No.2551856

>>2551846
but subjectively true if you believe them. Also, there are opinions that are, as you say, meanigless (like I am more of a man than you). But If someone says: "My opinion is that 100 grams of carbon is heavier than 50 grams of carbon," that opinion can be objectively true.

>> No.2551884

Is it objectively knowable? No.

Untrue. Depends on gravitational field.

at first i thought it was a man with a tiny penis...
then so the odd shape of the pectorals.
then i clicked on the thumbnail.

why would a women do this to herself?

>> No.2551928

>>2551856

You mean more massive.

>>2551908

It's right he he says heavier of equal, but unless you can somehow pull an antigravity field out of your ass it can't be the other way around.

>> No.2551932

>>2551908
Haha, I guess that was a bad example. What if the statement is: "100 carbon atoms has more mass than 10 carbon atoms." Objectively true? I'd say so.

>> No.2551944

>>2551932

what type of carbon?
there is such a thing as isotopes you know.

So she can rape men.

I think you can say someone is important if others are interested in them. This works better if "interest" includes the sense of being a stakeholder in something, such that the guy keeping a power station going is important insofar as people have an interest in avoiding blackouts.

I think you can agree that Obama is objectively more important that Joe Fuckoff the fry cook.

i would if he actually did anything.
but with him having no balls and letting his party of the rival party dictate his actions he is actually less important then any person within these party's.
