This more than proves that you do not listen to what your opponents are saying.
I never said or implied that the universe determines what a circle is. I don’t even know what that means. It is us, humans, who determine whether any given shape is a circle or not and we do so by some kind of procedure. My point is that this procedure (which I often identify with the word “intuition”) is not the same thing as its linguistic descriptions (dictionary definitions.) Your problem is that you take dictionary definitions too literally. When you take them too literally you fail to understand the procedure they are attempting to reflect.
Words do not precede the procedure by which we determine whether some given thing belongs to some given class.
That’s your mistake.
Here’s more proof that you do not listen to what your opponents are saying. I never said that categories are meaningless. I simply said that they CAN be meaningless.
Which ones am I using?
This merely shows how fucked up your brain is.
Whether something is a circle or not is determined by a procedure that takes into account a finite number of points on the boundary of the shape in order to measure their distance from the center of that shape. If every single point is at the same distance, then the procedure declares that the shape is a circle. Otherwise, it declares that it is not. The procedure DOES NOT work by comparing the shape to the first shape we identified as a circle. (By the way, how did we identify this “first circle” shape as a circle? We must have used some other procedure because before identifying this shape as a circle there was no shape that we previously identified as a circle. So what happened to this original procedure? Why did we stop using it?)
What you’re doing here is you are MAKING SHIT UP.
I am glad that I don’t think the way you do.
Noone is corruping language, moron. Noone is choosing arbitrary definitions, fuckface. The problem is that you are an IDIOT who obviously DOES NOT LIKE IT when someone calls him an idiot, whether they are justified in doing so or not, and who does not understand what words mean despite his pretense that he does.
