Whales have scrotums? Shit. Hey Bill... gotta pic? Satyr, That 'article' needs focus. You cannot possibly expect someone else on a philosophy forum to read that thing in it's entirety. Especially given the intro. Way too many categorical leaps. Break it down. Which part would you engage with me? Pic...

The cup is either on the table or not.

'The cup is on the table' is a true statement IFF the cup is on the table.

Is it time to do philosophy yet?

The intellectual tension that you were experiencing from not being able to obtain a distinctive leg-up upon your co-poster aided to your emotional/creative desire to be understood. Do you see what i am saying? Well, let'...

maybe knowledge it would be. what about wisdom? is empirism what is stopping you to think other isms and stories about your cup of coffee? Common sense is what is stopping me from 'seeing it' another way. I know how the plastic is made, how the cup is formed, where the beans have been grown, what t...

Alright, Now that the show is over, let's put away the comedy/tragedy masks, make a point to give proper credit to Thespian Troupe 1709 and then saddle up and do some philosophy.
