the triumph of maybe logic (?)

[LHX]

How can one be sure of an agreement if the agreement is a maybe?  

exactly

what can 2 people agree upon in the first place?

Is there any way to avoid epistemology with Maybe Logic?  If not, doesn't Maybe Logic negate itself?  If so, how?

why avoid epistemology?

how can anything be negated with 'maybe'


if anything - maybe enforces the validity of everything

the same way the phoenix requires ashes in order to be seen



once everything becomes valid
the truth becomes plain as day
(call it a hunch)


the universe does not seem to fit in a jar
maybe logic acknowledges this

[LHX]

it would also put an end to property

This is why I think e-prime is not going to be the dominant way of communicating as long as society functions the way that it does now. You and I are only useful to the overall machine as consumers, you can not have consumerism without property. Therefore e-prime, and other endeavours at telling the truth cannot be tolerated.

Think about the sheer absurdity of modern monetary systems. At best we're now exchanging pieces of paper, all pretending that they are worth something. Strange.

I don't know enough about maybe-logic, I'm going to read up on this.

Shrugging indeed is the only true universal language. That and scratching your butt.

If not money, what should represent value?  Isn't that the point of money, agreeing upon a monetary belief for convenience's sake?

people also use bullets and antibiotics 'for convenience sake'

I think people missed the point I was trying to make.

Philosophy is only useful if it gets you laid.

either use it to fuck
or
get fucked by it



its all hood

I think it's amazing anyone is able to communicate with anyone else at all, considering we all come from different mind spaces.

Say your father beat you every day and night with a full can of Coke, you would have a completely different idea of "Coke" than I would, and really we would never both understand the other's point of view.

I think it's amazing that even more people aren't murdered every day.

yeah

i know


me too



just looking for some drama

[hooplala]

Ditto.

[Jean-Paul Fartre]

Oh please.  Spare me the melodrama.

Back to what I was asking AGAIN: doesn't Maybe Logic end up negating itself when it constructs reality out of possibilities?

Everything is possible, nothing is true, etc?  When it applies to ML itself, what are the consequences?

Who said E-Prime had anything to do with probabilities?

It's simply a method of changing semantics to change the way we view things.  Probabilities only stem from your perceptions, not from E-Prime.
