Some things can be. For instance: the forms of triangle and circle -- ∆ º -- can be. They are beings (abstract beings, one might say). But not everything can be. A circular triangle can't be. So there's a limit to being. How do you understand that limit? What is that subtle force which limits that which can be? Is it ABOVE being, because - like a king or ruler - it limits being? |
||||||||

Some things are simply necessarily true and nothing causes them to be so, which is why they seem mysterious: we're used to thinking in terms of causality. But if something caused them they'd be contingent, which is absurd. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
well obviously, a thing exists if it is descended from the realm of pure forms |

what does it mean for a thing to be true bro |

I can’t help but think of Sartre. What a bore. But in this context he comes to mind. |

i think the whole post is built around the circular triangle thing which is the most original, but i get the feeling when looking for a job really |

Must we not first address what it means to be a thing? |

Owls have no limits. I've seen them in the trees at night. Hooting owl slang to taunt me. They are cunts, but I respect them. |

i do suppose i had help. i didn't drink any of the arrogant bastard ale, or any of the sierra nevada porters. fuck, i think that actually goes back years. from back in the day when i was making cardboard collages. i'd just save them, sorting as i did, and eventually i noticed it would make a pretty good foto. shortly thereafter, i sent it to the recycle |

totally wrong thread this mistake will haunt me forever. numbers don't exist. we made them up. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
*rubs hands together gleefully* Then by making them up differently, 12 could be a prime number? 5 could be the square root of 9? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
numbers don't exist. we made them up. what if, instead of 1, 2, 3, ... , N our cognition evolved to speak in terms of relative scale? sort of like we have a few, a couple, some, many, scads, etc. but with much more granularity |

A circular triangle can't be just turn the straight lines into slight arcs meanwhile, a triangular circle would be more like a circle squeezed a bit into a triangle |

Evolved? There are isolated tribes that think of quantity that way. They're the same species as us, you deplorable racist. |

humans will say, "looks good to me!" if dogs had invented english, they would, perhaps, instead say, "smells good to me!" because dogs smell far better than they see |

now go ahead and accuse me of being specist. |

epic I was just kidding about the racism, I'd been reading about Paul Feyerabend's concept of epistemological anarchy, in connection with traditional tribal perspectives on science and math, which is where that joke came from. |

there could be a circular line travelling through a triangle There could be a triangle circulating in between the axes of a rectangle that's shaped like a large circle which ends up giving you a migraine. |

i like your post man yet i dont quite get why there should be a king or a ruler here? :D |

I made a Circle out of triangles today. But yeah just messing south you welterberry |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
South? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

South is the answer to most solutions as far as im concerned :)))))) |
||||||||
|

i mean to most questions.... . but yeah, solutions too. fuck it! |

>>> A circular triangle can't be in vector graphics, if you are drawing a circle u set the number of lines you want to draw, if you set it to 3 you get a triangle, if you set it to a much bigger number you get a circle. |

ie plotting cos() and sin() for x and y for that many points - circle and triangle... makes me wonder if this is a trick post |

if you really wanted to be interesting why didn't you go on about Goedels Incompleteness Theorem or something that doesn't sound like an stoned undergraduate lol |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well, anyways, yes, that's what i was getting at, myself. there is no such thing as a circle, truly, anywhere. zoom in far enough and eventually it'll be off a bit. it's a concept used to classify sensory input |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
it's also a lil bit occult, depending on what books u read, point, line, triangle ... circle... triangle being the first shape that is a shape... mind body spirt, form force conciousness, affirming denying reconciling, heinz beenz sausage n' chips |

Gentleman, you are suffering Engineer's Brain and will need to be put down. 💉 |

the triangle features prominently in things that we should hold in mind whilst meditating... coloured triangles of all colours |
