SAME [SIZE="6"]EXACT[/SIZE] THING WITH MATH.


a tool conjured by humans to decribe the world. it works, it works, it works. but dont think its true because in 1000 years, our ideas will be crap and you know this.

[QUOTE=Radiobass81;13466807]Correct.

The way I see it, either Irish is discussing being taught illogical things, or being taught something if the definition of one thing was replaced by another (the value of three and the value of two, for example).[/QUOTE]

the latter.

im not arguing against logic.














but if you want me to i can beat logic. its simple and you've all heard the paradox before.

[QUOTE=irishslappop]this is what im arguing. im not arguing that a single apple and a single apple make two apples, thats very "true". im arguing that if you were told from day 1 that 1+3=12 you would believe it, because it was told to you as truth.

numbers aren;t anything, they dont exist. can you punch the number one? of course you cant. number are what humans made them. they have no inherent traits because there is nothing inherent about them. it's a technicality, but the world runs off of them.

you cant say, i percieve this pen as black, but i know that it may not be and then say, all numbers have an inherent value, they;re both human constructs, its the same thing.[/QUOTE]

Okay, then what's being argued? :lol: That humans have created words to give abstract concepts definition and that we only accept them because that's what we've been told? Okay, just checking. :thumb:

Numbers aren't real, but quantity is. There isn't a number one infront of me, I can't punch that. But I can have an apple in front of me. ONE apple. Maybe TWO. Both I could punch.

Also, the 1 + 3 = 12 thing, if we give other values to numbers, it makes sense. If not, logic WILL teach us otherwise. My example of Santa Clause fits PERFECTLY with this, and this is the first time I think I make a good example for something I argue about.

Also, the last paragraph inforces me to believe all we are doing is arguing "words" made by man. If it is, let's just shut up, because you're mixing it up. Me and Spiff agree with you on the values, but you've gotten everything mixed up here. Sorry man.

All you're doing is arguing words and definitions!

I bet in 1000 years 1+1 will still equal 2.

But who knows?!?! Maybe 1000 years will be tomorrow?!!? RIGHT!! HA HA!!

yeah. maybe my text articulation skills suck.

Nothing. We all agree, just that Irish's point wasn't clear up until now.

I laughed a lot, hahaha.

Oh, okay. I caught some of this conversation earlier and when I came back hours later it was still going on. Just wanted to make sure it was the same thing. :lol:

Isn't there some test where you are suppose to read the spelt out word of the colour, but the word is a different colour in which the word says?

You are suppose to read the word, but you will end up saying the colour of the word instead of the word spelling out the colour, or something to that extent.

I don't quite remember the actual test.

haha im done messin with you guys. radio and spiff kinda figured it out at the same time.

everything is words guys. i cant argue LOGIC. are you ****ing joking me? do you think im a complete moron? thats why i DIDN'T say 1 apple + 3 apples = 12 apples. BECAUSE IT DOESN'T. but you cant say anything to me about the FACT that 1 + 3 = 12.

:lol: good talk.

hilarious, but your not getting it dude. you attached "years" to 1000. i cant argue against logic, and i haven't been. READ.

:D

Jorge, you did make a good point with the Santa Clause thing. :thumb:
It's nice to have someone on my side when the opposing side isn't making any sense...

Yup...Now gimme your wallet.

But "years" is just a word! Who knows what it means?!?

im afraid your just not undertstanding what im saying hunny. i Just had this talk with a professor with PHd, so, im afraid your not grasping this one.

That test gets tricky.
Especially when your friend is yelling random colours into your ear

[QUOTE=Spaceman Spiff;13466921]But "years" is just a word! Who knows what it means?!?[/QUOTE]

An abbreviation for

your right. who knows?

I get it, you just weren't being clear what you were arguing before.

[QUOTE]hilarious, but your not getting it dude. you attached "years" to 1000. i cant argue against logic, and i haven't been. READ.[/QUOTE]

Regardless if there is a noun or not, if the value of a thousnand has been changed to one, a thousand years would be one.

[/QUOTE]

You say that, but just look at your comment above. Just when you are making sense, you go and ruin it COMPLETELY.

Spiff: No problem.

Aerodyne: This is another one

like i said, i am doing a horrid job at articulaing this.

Somthing can be one thing to one person and another to someone else
Binary for example <_<

Irish: That last post wasn't wrong articulation, and don't even try to make something up to cover it. That was horrible thinking.

EDIT: The post with years, I mean.
