Philosopher X-Man: Lady Tektonica

She’s a worldview shifter. Whereas some paradigm shifts are so drastic, they result in nervous breakdowns (so, not the Thomas Kuhn sort), she actually makes them happen rather than them happening to her… and it ripples out psychoviolently if you’re not prepared for it.

Let’s design her together. Oh, btw, her genetic abnormality is she has no nipples. Or cleavage. Or ass. Or legs. Thx. Or lips/vag. K thx.

Also, she has fangs that will seriously eff you up. Her nickname is the truth with teeth.

Let’s do dis. (It wouldn’t let me tag Satyr/Lorikeet or Prom/BriBri…maybe the fake quit is real this time?)

Okay, X-Philosophers…

This just in from the Great Luminiferous Cloud… (the GLC, for short)… a one Mortimer J Adler is in temporary eternal crisis over what has happened to the Encyclopedia Britannica in his presumed absence:

One search result which conflates existential import with subalternation is found at Britannica: https://www.britannica.com/topic/existential-import. Neither the steel man requirement of existential import for soundness, nor the straw man presumption of existential import prior to establishing soundness, is subalternation.

This sounds like a job for Lady Tektonica!

maybe y’all can design her nemesis when you’re back from being too combative & making death threats :wink:

Maybe call him Baaa-a-a-d Boy McSheepspawn?

You made me chew myself through pages of academic level of formal logic… i feel like i exceeded my IQ limit by at least 20 points…
The tl;dr is that because of formal logic, you are right. It defines a conceptual requirement about real-world existence by describing a formal rule of sentence translation.

Or in short, it defines cause by describing the effect.

So if the source/basis of truth is elusive, a search ensues. Various aspects present themselves. So you buy into the market place of comforting wares with expectations of a grand experience of uniting with reality or some other lofty realization. But you don’t get results. So is it the search that keeps you from a real natural truth? Or is there a big fat Truth that is hidden and gets revealed on its own terms?

I’ll give it a shot better than Britannica. Too bad you guys haven’t helped me design Lady Tektonica. rolls up sleeves & grunts

Real Def: The real existential fallacy is either 1 of 2 errors: 1) presupposing non-emptiness (existential import) of a term before establishing it is non-empty (deductively, inductively, or abductively), or 2) presupposing emptiness of a term after establishing its non-emptiness (deductively, inductively with at least one instance, or abductively as best explanation).

Because it is most certainly not a fallacy to require sound premises with non-empty affirmed terms. Calling that a fallacy is a monkeywrench in being, action, and meaning.

Well. That def at Britannica was existential import, but false, because conflated with subalternation. Dang, more work to do.

@Tab I thought about you when I saw this on Facebook:

Oops, I missed something was unprepared for, the journey has to go without me knowing huh?

Unprecedented? No really.

The weak should probably hide their eyes. The strong should just read the stuff around the sides and appreciate the beauty that she is wrapped in rainbow that twists around at the bottom of the abyss she is hovering over.

Note GPT designed her using text from the original post with the edit of her name (apparently wanted to keep the subject title) and dressing her in sheer rainbow…which didn’t really help…but it is beautiful.

…apologies if this was inappropriate. I kind of love it a lot.

Good luck penetrating this one without protection (altermemes) from being penetrated into obliviousness.

Ethics is her first philosophy. Levinas said to say that your ethics are written all over her.
