I have seen there are people that hold that the dog is a chihuahua
Others, that it’s a german shepherd
Others, that they have lots of dogs.
There are people that have no dog whatsoever.
Certainly, the true dog cannot be neither of those, because what qualities do they share? Is it an abstraction of four legs, a head, a tail and a cute nose? That seems quite like a man-made idea to me.
People have said that dog is all-loving yet we see dogs bite and kill time and time again.
He’s arguing the nominalist position, no universals.
Though he keeps referring to
There are no people, because person refers to so many different body types and personalities.
He also uses
which can mean all sorts of things. What is this ‘having’? They are near each other, often. You can have covid. I hear people say my neighbor ‘has’ a dog. But he keeps it outside all the time. I have a dog in my arms but legally it belongs to my sister. The dog has legs. Does that mean I don’t have all of the dog, just the non-leg parts? Wait, it also has a head. I have an idea. Do I have to feed it dogfood. Do I own it? Is it a disease? (sometimes it is, I think).
What’s this ‘man’? What’s this ‘idea’?
Damn Wittgenstein and his family relationships.
People have dogs. You might as well say glympgh clogina fralp. Those categories don’t exist. Gibberish. Have doesn’t even seem to be a verb often, except grammatically.
Wait, ‘verb’. Now ‘I’ ‘have’ ‘added’ ‘to’ ‘the’ ‘muck’.
Oh, my God ‘to’ is a nightmare. Quarter to two. Train to Washington. Talk to me.
The existence of dog is all a ruse by pet shops in order to sell things to offer to your dog.
Some dog-lovers are saying that you should not use word in vain. I disagree!
We can say the same thing about dog, but it turns out that dog body types and personalities are seen by dog-lovers as mere masks put up by dog in order to exist. With no mask there would be no perception of dog, yet the mask is not the true dog.
… and here we have someone speaking in tongues, a clear sign of a dog-lover. They say it’s channelling what the dog in you wants. It is gibberish and what the dog wants. OH my dog
Or you just think of death and suffering as a sin against you, while a dog would view it as a requirement for this reality to exist.
There is also the idea that dog needs to be kind to you.
It most certainly doesnt, and it’s kindness is in no shape or form connected to whether or not it exists.
I know, since I have perfected a translator of lion to human. They tell me that weird is subjective but only for them. Dog, on the other hand, is impossible to be translated. It’s impossible to put into words properly what dog means. The profound experience of talking directly to dog can only be described in roundabout ways
I recently said ‘No.’ when my dog started to chew my shoe. He looked sheepish ( ) and left my shoe alone. Might be a coincidence but easy to describe. Of course, one always leaves out details.
for many dogs I am a messiah. Jesus produced fish and bread nearly ex nihilo. Not only can I produce treats ex nihilo, I can open doors and with the big metal noisy thing transport them anywhere. I am father and son.
That’s AI. AI dogs are not the real dog, even when AI dogs do answer your every call. That is blasphemous and will not be tolerated in this open minded thread
Dog simply doesn’t exist, there are no proofs nor ever will be. You can only provide AI dogs
