Title: Observation of Chaos
Post by: deet on July 27, 2005, 08:52:58 AM
How many of you when  asked, would say that your day was "the same," as yesterday?

Have you ever  stopped to consider how many things go into today being similar to yesterday? Did the same person greet you at work, or did you see the same interesting sign on your way to the store? Coffee taste the same? Did you drive by the same buildings on your way to school?

What we don't see, is the amount of change that must happen for this to remain the same. The barrista that brewed your morning cup is either keeping a job they don't like, or maybe they're looking at a position higher up within the company. Either way, they're making decisions daily that affect you. The buildings are surely there for a reason... and all those reasons have something to do with someone else deciding to go there. Why does that person say "Hi," to you in the morning? Would their day be different if you didn't show up?

Does everything have to change, in order to stay the same?

"SAME" IS AN INVALID CONCEPT.

TWO DISTINCT THINGS CANNOT BE THE SAME.

ONE THING CAN BE AN EXACT REPLICA OF ONE OTHER THING, BUT IT IS STILL NOT THE SAME.

...And out of nowhere, Classic Turd comments on a semantic piece of esoterica, nailing it on the head with his first salvo!  No one, folks, no one saw this coming!

I've been thinking about this for a while now... and I finally figured out that I agree with you... took me like two hours or so to make sense of it.

No it isn't. 'Same' is normal-people-speak for 'exactly similar'.

HTH



P.S. I don't think 'invalid' was the word you were looking for...

The cocktail of pharmaceuticals has kicked in and I no longer care that I am sick. I do find that being ill lowers my tolerance though so I tend to open my big yap with less  Much like being drunk.

Sometimes I worry that you guys only see one side of me and think that I should post more when well, sober and happy but then I remeber that this is the Internet and in the unlikely event that I do bump into any of you in the flesh, I can disavow all knowledge and meet you fresh.

Edit: I must be getting better because I've just reached the coughing-up-copious-quantities-of-flem-body-purge stage. Now aren't you gald you read that?

There is no difference anywhere! Resistance is fertile. You will be transimilated.

Valid -- an argument where the conclusion is correctly deduced from the premises, or (as you were using it) normal person speak for correct or well grounded.

What was that you were saying about people who use the non-technical, common language definitions of things?

It doesn't. You didn't offer a proof of anything so I didn't offer a disproof in return.

I'm still not really sure.

(http://bestsmileys.com/moody/8.gif)It is physicsly impossible for me to say that. Today I am one day wiser, 1 experience more foolish, and 1 day closer to dying of it all.


Cool!

Now if only they didn't serve stale popcorn this trip! Aargh! and what not.
