You might aswell be hitting your head against a wall for all the good it will do. Philosopher can't see beyond his own ego. He wont ever present his idea's in layman's terms, obscurity is the only thing protecting them from being torn to pieces. Instead he'd rather use other peoples threads to monologue. A blog would probably suit him more, but for some reason he persists with forums.
Interesting discussions above! Same here Wolfwood, I wondered if I was dreaming as well.
Anyway, I couldn't resist posting on a thread about water in dreams...
I have somewhat frequent dreams about water, usually in which I'm swimming in an ocean or oversized pool. I enjoy these dreams very much, it's always a wonderful experience. As far as how it feels, for me it definitely feels wet, I suppose because my water dreams are usually quite vivid. To the OP, I find it fascinating that it didn't feel wet in yours, I'd like to have a dream like that sometime just for the experience.
The "wet feeling" of water is basicly just a cold feeling. You cant test this by using a thin ruber glow and put your hand in water.
Not sure if I can agree with that. I think a wet feeling has a lot to do with lubrication as well. Rubbing your fingers together after dipping one of them in water will give more than just a cold feeling.
I'm going to work my way up the replies here...
First, I understood, hehe...
While arguing with him may seem useless for all his ability to just make shit up, there is a very good reason for doing so. We shouldn't argue to convince someone so set in his ways that he will never change his mind or see reason, we should argue so that everyone else can see what he is doing wrong, and why. If we let him just talking about anything all day long, some people will interpret that in their own ways, or maybe even exactly as he states, and without opposition to incorrect ideas, more will begin to believe. We fight not for the battle, but for the war.Quote:
Never talk to Philsopher8659. He's known to intentionally mislead and confuse people with his nonsensical sentences.
Another reason to argue is that you may be wrong, and by arguing you give the other person a chance to validate their claims.
The hammer has no intent, but it does have a purpose. Words and sentences have no intent, but they do have purpose... to convey meaning. If words did not convey meaning, why would we use them? the word "cat" means the animal that has four legs, fur, a tail and says meow. There are many different types of cats, and not all of them say meow or have fur, but for general communication, that is what "cat" means. If there is something different from the normal meaning of "cat", we can apply a new label, or we can use adjectives to describe how the cat is different.Quote:
Gather all those who claim that words and sentences have meaning and send them on a holy quest to find the hammar that means to build a house.
If true, this is the reason XeL's statement is valid. Whether or not you want to communicate meaning, when you use words, you do.Quote:
I have never in my life wanted to communicate meaning.
also, I had forgotten what this thread was about by the time i began writing this reply haha,
Ive had a few dreams with water in them, and yeah it usually just feels cold for me, but i never really focus on it
