@katewidman12 @MaxRadniecki @briantheruller Sorry my verbage sucks. I believe the object is there but the description of the object is not true for everyone. If someone is color blind, they would think the door is grey not red. However most people say the door is red. Who's right? The point is there is no right/true.

@MaxRadniecki @katewidman12 @briantheruller I'm not talking about different languages, I'm talking about human languages as a whole.

The symbols we use for math is based off our observations. Are our observations exactly what reality is? Even then, can language describe these observations exactly how they are?

[Jon @teknoxjon]

@katewidman12 @MaxRadniecki @briantheruller I agree with most of what you said, however, Defining things isn't true outside of human language. Therefore math isn't true outside of symbols and language.

This isn't easy to digest since there's a whole field dedicated to this thinking. Metaphysics.

@pOtatoesrlyfe @MaxRadniecki @briantheruller Its like having a piece of the puzzle so it's real to an extent but not the full picture

[Jon @teknoxjon]

@MaxRadniecki @briantheruller What's this item we are defining? We use our language to define this object which is a metaphor for what it really is(which is unknowable) and from there we say this is one object, this is two... It's all a language game.

@katewidman12 @MaxRadniecki @briantheruller A cow is a cow because we said so not what it is in itself

[Jon @teknoxjon]

@katewidman12 @MaxRadniecki @briantheruller What I'm challenging is the notion of defining objects (via language) and taking it as some unchangeable absolute. Some object is there of course but we only define it as far as our language is capable of articulating the sensory information.

[Jon @teknoxjon]

@MaxRadniecki @briantheruller How can you say that 2+2=4 is true outside of human understanding? Of course math is invented by humans. Our observations of the world can't be absolute if our senses arent reflecting the world absolutely. Applying math/physics to real world always has a level of error.

@feelmybicep are you guys playing @ @ZebulonLA on Wednesday, December 1st??

[Marques Brownlee @MKBHD]

Great now do the whole system

[jinti.bsky.social @MadeOfEyebrows]

People really entertained that "well if we defund the police what are you gonna do when someone breaks into your home" and now we're watching an over-inflated, over-budgeted military police force literally do nothing as terrorists breach the nation's capitol building.

The management of this pandemic has many consequences.

Assuming school doesn't resume normally until 2021 a 5 yr old will have lived almost 20% of their life in quarantine with no meaningful interaction with other kids.

It's hard to see how this won't impact their development.
