    The assessment of consistency is taken only at that specific moment of time. My perception at T3 is not comparing T1 and T2, but instead current memory of T1 and T2 at T3, as my memory of T1 and T2 exist at T3. The "perception" in this instance that is being checked for consistency is the memory, which is current, not necessarily the events at T1 and T2 themselves.

    Excuse my use of the word perception, by the way. What I mean to say is basically whatever information my consciousness is being fed.

    As far as "knowing relationships exist" and "knowing the content of those relationships" the basic set up is: establish hypothesis, assume it is true, continue to check consistency of hypothesis until it is shown to be false, adopt new hypothesis.

    Ah, so you're an idealist, and you're just mucking about with establishing consistent paterns of ideas in your mind.

    Keen!

    I'm curious as to how you get from those ideas to the real world.

    I definitely wouldn't describe myself as an idealist at all.

    Rather, I'd like to think the framework laid out there allows one to work entirely empirical from there on out. Essentially, once you begin declaring hypotheses, it's all science. Saying "okay, there's information coming into my head, I just have to make it all consistent" the ultimate theory you come up with to consistently describe all the information your consciousness is receiving can very easily be a sensible materialist one. I like to start at Descartes and then abandon him immediately thereafter.

    Every time I've said it in person it has made a girl laugh and smile big.

    Oh, I did laugh and I do have a big smile.

    But that's because that just sounds so...weird.

    Hahaha... I guess. I dunno, it's always been a hit with the ladies I've said it to. Maybe they found it weird too! But they later touched my dong so I ain't afraid.

    Organichu, if they touched you at any point in time later it was not because of that line.

    speaking of october

    today has had the greatest coastal autumn weather

    started a bit windy in the morning but it picked up and was wipping the fjord to froth by evening

    the skies darkened as the wind picked up

    as the sun set, raindrops were in the air, along with ocean spray


    God, I love this place. It is good to be home. Even if I'm home because of the wierdest reason.

    It's not something to be said with seriousness. It's a joking line that will make you both laugh afterwards but hey- with a little self-assurance it also lets her know that you're confident you can make her happy. So like, both people will laugh it off afterwards but I definitely think it runs a little 'hah... interesting' past her brain.

    You know why I don't like planning to do things with people?

    Because it requires that other people state their intentions, and then maintain them through the doing of a thing.

    Is science a hypothesis?

    Depends on who's science :P.

    But I like to stick to a kind of "holistic Popper" philosophy towards science. Essentially it's falsificationism "Establish a hypothesis that can be proven false, test it, if it is proven false abandon it" only I work around underdetermination by identifying the fact that anytime you form a hypothesis it is actually a hypothesis about all knowledge, since all knowledge is inherently interconnected. That way the notion of "saving a hypothesis" by shifting auxiliary statements doesn't make any sense because the hypothesis you were testing actually included all possible auxiliary statements.

    It's cool if that happens.

    It's not cool if you plan for it to happen, and then she doesn't show up. Or changes her mind...mid-coitus...or something.

    Mostly I'm just irritated because I'm maybe meeting a friend somewhere tomorrow, and I would have to leave here at around 6 in the morning to get there on time, and she still hasn't confirmed that anything is happening.

    that's a good point

    I've seen... three different TV programs which were about doing some speed date testing to get some data on what people like (do people click with people who resemble themselves in facial structure, etc etc)

    I remember seeing three because each one came a say I was home sick and I was like "again? This is getting wierd." at the end.

    But ANYWAY, my point was, all of them said the biggest factor for women that overrode all other factors in a first impression thing was height

    so if you're tall you got the odds on your side
