It looks like math just got bored and started pissing on philosophy.

everyone always pisses on philosophy

Savage Clone · 06.18.2008, 04:27 PM

I piss in the toilet.
Is philosophy a toilet?
Sometimes.

No, the question was "To be or not to be?"

"...whether 'tis nobler in the mind..."

Anyway. I'm not very pretentious. I'm incredibly earnest. I may be trecherous and deluded, but I assure you, any wankery contained herewith is entirely in 'good faith'.

I always think anyone using the insult 'pretentious' [or 'pretencious'] tends to miss the thrust of what they're trying to say.

Pretension implies pretence. I do not pretend.

pbradley · 06.18.2008, 06:04 PM

What is this shit? Everyone has pretenses. A pretense, without the negative connotation, is merely an assumption taken as truth in order from greater reasoning to develop. If a person didn't have pretenses, they would have to logically explain every action they perform, all premises and premises of premises laid out. You are pretentious for waking up in the morning. You are pretentious for going to work. You are pretentious for assuming your wife loves you. Yes, I have a lot of pretenses. When I eat food, I like to assume that it will nourish my body.

Living rationally is pretentious.
