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

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

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

*rubs hands together gleefully*
Then by making them up differently, 12 could be a prime number? 5 could be the square root of 9?

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

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

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.

>>> 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.

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
