Quote (Louis @ Aug. 30 2007,13:51)
Hence why the very phrases "are blondes hotter than brunettes" or "is murder wrong" are utterly and totally devoid of meaning. They are a linguistic fuck up, a rhetorical game they have no significance or meaning, they are fictions of your imagination and nothing more, mere fantastic drivel. They are not questions in any meaning of the word question. They are not informative, no information can be obtained from them. Get it yet

And yet if you ask those questions to people, you get answers.  Sensible answers, too.

How can that be, if they're all meaningless gibberish?

Offhand, I'd say that if you ask people "is abortion wrong", and they give an answer, then, by golly, that consitutes a "question".  A question with "meaning".


Oh, right ----- it's because people PROVIDE THEIR OWN INDIVIDUAL CONTEXT.


Hmmm, I wonder who has been saying THAT all along . . . . ?


I wonder if the fact that everyone has their own individual context, and that science can't tell which individual context is "the" correct context, has anything to do with the fact that science simply can't objectively answer that simple question?

I think someone said that before . . . . .
