Wittgenstein's Philosophical Investigations book commentary

He's been posting shit like this about me for weeks, but he's just avoiding me and trying not to interact with me lmao

Hbotz to be clear the censored posts are not "rock memes." They are where I started the discussion by quoting from the math education woman's paper.

When have I used it?

You didn't start any discussion. No one replied to those posts. You never posted any thoughts about them.

shut up, ■■■■■■ and kill yourself, ■■■■■■ were definitely synonymous with ewiz for a length of time on nadota and here

And I don't appreciate you calling my contributions "low." I basically gave you the entire meaning of life. You never have to debate philosophy on the internet again after today, you've finally got the answers.

Yes, but you saying add that word and he becomes me is implying that I currently do that shit.

"Kill yourself" posts were synonymous with ewiz a couple days ago here but sadly one of the admins deleted the thread.

Is it really trying to avoid a person if you repeatedly insult them across the forum?

i'm actually implying that whatever issue he has with you (doing and saying these things) he's not far off from it, and that should probably mean more to him. you're almost irrelevant.

altho, i do think it's relevant to acknowledge change, and, also, self examine but..

i don't think i'm really heard. for a lot of reasons.

I'd argue he's doing the exact same stuff, but only in a more tactful way so he can claim that he's not when you bring up that he's behaving similarly

but people do in practice experience existential angst. pessimistically you can look at the physical reduction as a cheap and easy answer without dangerous side effects like donating money to church. i have some circumstantial evidence that it can help.

the slippery slope from "metaphysical consciousness" to "X AI impossible" isnt a rigorous argument, its a compelling idea. people believe in non-rigorous things all the time. im saying the physical view is more robust to spooky things like this, but maybe more vulnerable to also-wrong things like "transformer can do everything!". but i hear the former more than the latter.

thats what im saying. i pick believing in the physics over the metaphysics to start out of pragmatism. at any point, i wont assume im not delusional, but i will assume physical reality exists and i am in it. operating in reverse just doesnt seem as useful.

I'm extremely far off from it, never in my entire life have I been anywhere close to following someone around an internet website telling them to kill themselves, calling them names, describing in gory detail etc etc

That is actual mental illness and, while I'm not perfect and I'm not nice, I do know how to check myself and correct my course before I get there

ok dude, i hate to point this out but it's pretty bad fucking faith to say this

You drawing some equivalence between the two because I make snarky comments at people and it can be hurtful is one of your dumbest takes and I'd appreciate if you'd stop arguing about it here, it is feeding the problem

No it's actual, straight up mental illness.

Like send the person to a shrink, the shrink will say Oh that's concerning. We should do something about that

as in, we have all exhibited behaviors of bad mental health

it's really shitty to be speaking that way about it. you're doing it to discredit someone, to demean them

you're not doing it to suggest someone needs help.

Reducing everything to the physical is the opposite of reducing existential angst. "We're all just bags of flesh slowly rotting spinning in the void" is not an existentially comforting question. And why is donating money to a church necessarily bad?

Why? This is not even apparent on its face

I hear the latter far, far, far more often. Maybe it's because I work in the field. Or maybe it's because these things are hyped up a ton to drive buzz, while no one is trying to sell dense philosophy to the masses.

I didn't understand the last paragraph, and I think you clarifying this would help

No I directly said in the thread earlier that he is troubled and is being harmed by dan's decision to keep him here. Sorry to say it but that's actual concern and an actual productive suggestion about how to help him.

Stop Arguing With Me Dude.

How is this any better than me calling someone a "fucking moron?" It seems like this kind of claim in its alleged seriousness is worse
