not many people know this but clodsire is actually a whale
@wallhackio if somebody asks for a whale, and i give them a humpback whale, they are satisfied. but if somebody asks for a clodsire, and i give them a humpback whale, i have not satisfied their request. therefore a clodsire must not be a whale
@Lady if somebody asks for an apple pie and i give them an apple pie, they are satisfied. but if somebody asks for an apple pie, and i give them a rhubarb pie, i have not satisfied their request. therefore a rhubarb pie is not a pie
@wallhackio correct, a rhubarb pie is a rhubarb pie, not a pie
@Lady let me extend an olive branch
a clodsire is a clodsire whale, not a whale
@wallhackio let us suppose there exists a finite concept of a whale and clodsire participates in it and humpback whales also participate in it. let W1 be the concept which encompasses exactly just clodsire and humpback whales. surely this concept W1 also participates in the concept of a whale? but now let us consider a concept W2, which encompasses both clodsire, humpack whales, and our previous concept W1. this concept, too, surely participates in the concept of a whale? by extending this process, we can find that in fact there are an infinitely many things which participate in the concept of being a whale. how, then, can the concept of a whale have a finite definition? by contradiction, we cannot say there is a finite concept of a whale that both clodsire and humpback whales participate in. but if the concept of a whale is not finite, it cannot be knowable as knowledge is finite. furthermore, if a finite concept of a whale exists, it surely must include humpback whales. it follows that clodsire cannot be known to be a whale
@wallhackio i’m assuming that arguments like these are how @aescling consoles herself that clodsire is not a whale
@aescling @wallhackio oh she does think clodsire is a whale nvm i guess i was incorrect
@Lady @wallhackio you’re Wrong about clodsire being a whale
@aescling @wallhackio yes, my argument about clodsire being a whale was that it isn’t, but i was incorrect. i see now; my bad
@Lady @wallhackio you’re talking very confidently fur someone who is Wrong
