But because of that it is arbitrary. If it weren't then everybody would agree upon it and there would only be a single language.
>>695680147
Hey again buddy
Snuggles, that's two in a row you let me make. Why you gotta be so cruel?
>>695680310
hey hey
Im busy with a huge project so forgive me for not being here much
>>695680375
so I can bump, silly
>>695680475
But I'm no good at making threads.
>>695680526
Maybe. What it looks like to me is an argument about the arbitrariness of language.
that gorillaz song is lame.
>>695680272
Arbitrary does not mean different. It means that it is based on random choice or personal whim, rather than any reason or system. Something can start out as arbitrary and then change to become a system, such as language.
And I'm out of all my David Bynre in a big suit images.
>>695680629
Far out.
>>695680640
Yes, and all words were assigned meaning on a whim. No word has any logic behind why it is that word. Tree is only tree because we agreed that tree means tree, it could very well be changed to the word hark, and it wouldn't be any less correct. Something can start out as arbitrary and then stay arbitrary and be part of a system.
>>695679696
That image is me on every level except over eating.
HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO MAKE THREADS WITHOUT DAVID BYRNE IN A BID SUIT IMAGES?!?
>>695680475
Then do it, don't waste time here.
>>695680629
You are a constant disappointment to me.
>>695680924
Isn't it marvelous?
>>695680833
The fact that we grabbed these words and made them into a system makes them no longer arbitrary. We have agreed upon a meaning and an organization of these meanings to create language. Once it becomes words are organized into a language the collection of these words is no longer arbitrary.
>>695680992
it's what i do best
>>695681002
agreed (not same person)
>>695681080
But that's wrong. The fact that we assigned that particular noise to that particular idea means that it's arbitrary. There is no logic or reasoning behind it. The collection of words is entirely arbitrary because words are arbitrary.
>>695681193
It's a fool thread! Fool threads are best threads you know?
>>695679696
Please tell me something to be able to find you guys on here again. This is intriguing as fuck. Doesn't happen much on /b/ anymore.
>>695681088
You need a better skill set. You can't financially support me with just that ability.
existence is relative.
everything is subjective.
create your own meaning.
>>695681429
says who? i'm perfectly qualified for this position.
>>695679696
>>695680853
That's literally chemical depression. Go to a doctor and go back to being a normalfag.
>>695681252
Are those collection of sounds arbitrary to the person who created those words and meanings? I think that is unlikely. They used their experiences to decide on what certain things mean. Therefor they had their own internal, personal, system of deciding these things.
>>695681508
Relative to what?
>>695681667
to the person existing.
>>695681508
But that's ABUSRD!
>>695681656
Yes, they are arbitrary to that person just like they are arbitrary to that language system that is arbitrarily used by whatever group uses it.
>>695681747
precisely m8
>>695681508
Yeah that's why the sciences don't actually exist.
>>695681596
You are qualified for it but it doesn't make us any money. You need to change jobs and for that you need new skills.
>>695681252
This is loads of fun by the way.
>>695681709
How do I know I'm real?
>>695681889
But isn't that bad and wrong?
>>695681979
I'm glad you're having fun. I am too.
>>695682015
Cogito ergo sum, ASSHOLE!
>>695681852
How is something arbitrary when something is learned and formed by someones surroundings and experiences in such?
how do you submit a thread for archive now?
>>695682108
Because the way that we assign meaning is entirely arbitrary and beyond our control.
>>695682074
>But isn't that bad and wrong?
bad and wrong are human concepts and not real.
>>695682015
doesnt matter. you are experiencing something either way.
>>695682216
But that's also bad and wrong. Bad wrong. Badong. That is badong.
>>695682148
But how is something beyond our control if we are the ones assigning meaning to it?
>>695682287
im not sure im understanding you.
>>695682074
Glad we're both enjoying ourselves and this... debate? Are you an Aussie?
>>695680976
I am just in between hard ons for sexy fur fellows
>>695682074
Does a tree think? No, well at least probably not. But its real. Life without thought. >>695682216
Who says that im actually experiencing anything real though. You could be the main character, and im just part of the coma.
I was told there would be some spider ERP going on
>>695682367
Absurdism is badong.
>>695682324
Because it is our subconscious assigning meaning. We have no control over our subconscious mind.
>>695682430
Yea nah m8, I'm an American.
>>695682499
Yes, on a very rudimentary level it thinks. Also, the fact that you're questioning your existence is proof of it. You can't doubt doubt, comrade.
>>695682505
*lays down webbing seductively*
>>695682499
They have proved that trees "sleep" though.
>>695682626
Question my existence is a quality of sentience not existence.
>>695682626
Also American, Just figured you might have been Australian given the time.
>>695682765
Sentience equals existence.
>>695682771
I work nights so I'm up around this time usually.
Fuck. SNUGGLES I'M FEELING MANIC AGAIN!
>>695682626
But your subconscious could be based on what you've experienced and know to be true based on experience. Just things you don't actively think about. That's a whole new can of worms.
If you can't close shit YOU ARE SHIT! HIT THE BRICKS PAL AND BEAT IT BECAUSE YOU ARE GOING OUT!
>>695682965
It is entirely based upon not what you experience, but how you experience it.
>>695682827
Same. I'm east coast. you?
>>695683072
Texas.
>>695683063
But how you experience something will change how you view things and then influence how you interpret and do things in the future, such as creating words and language.
>>695682827
Just because something can exhibit signs of sentience doesn't mean it exist.
you wont take my advice so
instead describe the mania in funny anecdotes
>>695683141
I lived in San Antonio for a little over two months. Had its good and bad points. I guess it's better than it used to be from what others have said.

>>695683244
Yes, it's a vicious circle.
>>695683248
If it is sentient it exists, by its very nature it has to exist to have sentience.

tnats unnecessarily long
> "mind=clown"
shut up
>>695683650
a fun circle that has entertained me for quite a while.
You just told me shut up twice within seconds. Have I troubled you?
>>695683884
Well it's good to be entertained And that's what I'm good at, entertainment.
Ya
It's your fault i can't sleep
>>695683602
Have you ever tried to convince someone in a dream that they were part of your dream? The results are daunting
>>695683650
Ghost dont exist in our dimension so they arent real. But they are sentient creatures with their own agendas right?
>>695683774
Not a fan of Glenngarry Glen Ross?
>>695684061
Ghosts don't exist in any dimension.
I know I'm handsome and intelligent but please, try to not let me occupy your mind too much.
>>695684061
I have never done that in a dream, nor do I have any desire to.
>>695684180
>I'm handsome and intelligent
I bet you didn't even graduate from the Handsome Boy Modelling School.
>>695684113
You nor anyone have proof on either side of the argument so Ill agree to disagree. >>695684199
Then don't.
>>695684428
Have you seen a ghost?
I know it's hard but you must try. Have some pie and tea with me before I leave for work.
what kinda pie?
>>695684484
Yes. A couple times actually. But they weren't stereotypical glowing people. More like balls of energy with the outline of a person. Have you experienced anything paranormal?
Summer fruits. It's a bit tart but that should suit you down to the ground.
I like sour things and people
should be a treat
>>695684711
My mind is broken, you see? I have suffered a TBI in my infancy. One of the fun results of this is the constant projection of phantasms.
>>695684807
lick my sour feet
>>695684883
fucking disgusting
Good. Come have a slice and let's discuss plans for the future.
>>695684711
You do realise it is immensely more likely that you hallucinated or have false memories of them, don't you?
>>695684960
Well you refuted your statement pretty quick.
>>695684997
Hey now, don't be rude. If he believes in ghosts then he believes in ghosts. There is nothing wrong with having a belief in something.
confirmd
>>695684858
I see then your perception would be skewed. Im sorry for your condition, whatever that means from a stranger of 4chan.
>>695684997
One of the entities was seen by more than just me. Your saying 4 people hallucinated or remember the same thing wrong?
>>695685243
Why be sorry for it? It's a thing that happened to me and has been important in my development.
>>695685190
why are you awake
>>695685329
>important in my development.
I enjoy your attitude.
>>695685532
You'd be the first.
>>695685499
thunder woke me up, then i couldnt fall back asleep so i went on the internet
>>695685583
Is it raining?
>>695685583
But its like 4am, the fuck
It confirms *nothing*.
>>695685084
> "don't be rude"
That's rich coming from you.
There's nothing morally wrong solely with the belief, it just means you're an idiot.
>>695685243
Yes. Obviously you or everyone could also just lie. All these options are more likely than such a drastic contradiction of how we understand biology and physics. You don't even need to be remotely scientifically literate to know that entertaining the notion is moronic so I'll just leave it at that.
>>695685572
Im glad to be the first then. Your a fun person to make conversation with.
>>695685741
If it's warm out, go for a nakid walk outside.
>>695685644
It's raining, it's pouring, the old man is snoring.

>it just means you're an idiot
Your fedora is showing, homeboy.
>>695685737
MAYBE. MAAAYBE. I wouldn't know. I find myself tiring most of the time.
>>695681599
The meds never worked for me, I had depression, but now I have Hashimotos as well.
>>695685774
it's too bright outside for that
>>695685722
Well if you want to get scientific then show me a piece of evidence that proclaim ghosts as fake. There is neither evidence for or against the topic, as I stated in another post. So ill just agree to disagree.
>>695685820
Oh that's no good for wet skin.
You should try it sometime still, it's very invigorating.
A-tisket a-tasket

I wrote a letter to my love
And on my way I dropped IT!
I dropped it I dropped it
And on the way I dropped IT!
A little boy he picked it up
And put it in his POCKET!
>>695685934
it will be considered
>>695685806
I believe that most people feel that way.
>>695686040
For best result take a penis to fuck with :)
>>695686067
I don't know most people so I wouldn't know.
>>695685806
That is also rich coming from you.

Prove Russel's teapot is not out there. If you can't then it must be real.
>>695685741

>>695686157
I would never belittle a person for their beliefs nor would I deny them their chance of proving themselves an intellectual based upon belief in the super natural.
Now, if they were to say something like, "I believe the pyramids were built by Job to store grain" then I would scoff and call them a moron.
>>695686128
It was an analogy on the fact that sense your with yourself all the time, I believe it would be naturally to get used too, tired of and overly critical of themselves. I dont know most people either.
>>695686157
Agree to disagree.
>>695686384
>>695686409
I'm sure most people can sit quietly in a room for long periods of time without hating themselves and wanting to rip themselves apart.

But I live on the top floor of an apartment building and either sculpt or paint practically everyday. What am I to do?
I need to get a trashcan just for sculpting in plaster. This produces so much waste.
>>695687738

My table is already covered entirely in plaster and I have barely even started this carving.
May i ask, what exactly are these threads?

it's pure ecstasy

Didn't try it
