How do I reconcile being a materialist if I also agree there are emergent properties??

femmsational · 12-31-2014, 10:01 AM

Which comes first in the hokey pokey? The right foot or the left.

And while we're on the topic of feet.....do dogs get stinky feet like some humans do? One of my little creatures sleeps with her paw pushed up on my face and when she aims for my nose, it really smells. And they're clean cause I don't want to sleep with dirty puppy feet in my mouth so I wash them off every night.

Puppy feet smell like Fritos. If you like Fritos, it's no biggie.

I don't like Fritos.

Sometimes they smell like muddy Fritos, which is better, but I'd also wash some paws if they got crammed up in my face at night.

Better yet, I'd set up a pillow fortress to disallow that from happening.

Maybe there's a yeast issue?

And the right foot goes first for the righties and left foot first for the lefties.

I call Mr. Potato "Frito Foot".

Exhibit A, if it pleases the court.

Ohhh Random fuckery in here, woot!

Okay question from me: Bathroom sinks and products? Do you keep your sink area nice and tidy or do you have stuff everywhere?

ksrainbow · 01-01-2015, 09:23 PM

Cleaned and tidy! Just the basics aka: tissues, toothbrush in the stand, side cup for water and always fresh towels. And TP on the roll: over not under.

Everywhere. I like it that way. I can't be creative in a sterile environment.

Does anyone use the preset buttons on the microwave?

Okay, popcorn once or twice before I went to air popping but I am almost certain I have never used anything but the set a certain time or the add a minute (30 seconds for some) buttons.

I don't think it matters because some people can't tell the difference between right and left when they are put on the spot like that... so I think you are okay as long as you shake it all about...

I shouldn't think it would be too hard and I imagine if one can accept the premise of emergent materialism one could literally reconcile anything.

Your question got me thinking about semantics and that brought to mind a question I often have running around in my head. If semantics is, among other things, the branch of linguistics and logic concerned with meaning, why is it often disparaged? I think we all speak with the hope of being understood, but without clarity of meaning language is.....well....meaningless. Why then do people often say we shouldn't get bogged down in semantics or scoff and say “that's just semantics”? When the meaning of our words are all we have to understand each other, why is not semantics revered?

If you mean emergent properties arising from consciousness or some non-material phenomena, then you can't reconcile them really. Give it up. Eat a Snickers bar and forget.

I don't see them as mutually exclusive but if it feels like it's a struggle and you decide to go the snickers route you could always contemplate the emergent properties of salt as you eat.
