Anna there is a rhinoceros under this table<\/p>\n
Do not be absurd Anna<\/p>\n
I tell you there is a rhinoceros under this table<\/p>\n
I repeat that is an absurdity<\/p>\n
Why<\/p>\n
Because there is not enough room under the table<\/p>\n
How do you know that<\/p>\n
Because hippos are large creatures<\/p>\n
Again I ask you how do you know that<\/p>\n
Because I have seen a fucking rhinoceros at the zoo<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
If I said that you dad was under the table<\/p>\n
Would you accept that<\/p>\n
No<\/p>\n
Why<\/p>\n
Because my father is in Canterbury<\/p>\n
Your father would fit under this table<\/p>\n
How do you know that your father is in Canterbury<\/p>\n
He told me so<\/p>\n
At this very moment<\/p>\n
Yes<\/p>\n
Your father might be in Dover<\/p>\n
That would be totally out of character<\/p>\n
If I said that a character or a soul was under the table<\/p>\n
Would you dispute this with me<\/p>\n
No<\/p>\n
Why<\/p>\n
Because I do not know what a character in your context or a soul looks like<\/p>\n
So you are saying that you know that there is not a hippo under this table because of the empirical<\/p>\n
Based on concerned with or verifiable by observation or experience rather than theory or pure logic<\/em><\/p>\n What did you say Anna<\/p>\n Nothing<\/p>\n You spoke to me<\/p>\n No I did not<\/p>\n Then who spoke to me<\/p>\n A crab maybe<\/p>\n A crab<\/p>\n Crabs do not speak<\/p>\n They do and I believe that they are understood language in their own world<\/p>\n I do not understand their world so I do not understand their language<\/p>\n The crabs to do not understand our world so they do not understand our language<\/p>\n If I said to a crab that I was going to catch it next Wednesday would it understand me<\/p>\n Why<\/p>\n Because it has no understanding of the days of the week and no conceptions of freedom or capture<\/p>\n Again I tell you that crabs gave no conceptions of our language<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Anna if I said that your dad was under this table would you agree with me if indeed your dad was under this table<\/p>\n I suppose that I would<\/p>\n I would tell you that you were wrong<\/p>\n the state of being bewildered or unclear in one’s mind about something<\/em><\/p>\n Anna did you speak to me<\/p>\n No<\/p>\n I suppose that it was a crab<\/p>\n Going back to my dad why am I wrong<\/p>\n Because Dads do not exist<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Anna I am going to throw this table and these chairs into the sea<\/p>\n Why<\/p>\n So there would not be a rhinoceros under this table<\/p>\n Go ahead<\/p>\n But while you are doing this please consider this question<\/p>\n Think of two posters<\/p>\n The first one is red with the word orange written on it<\/p>\n The second one is orange with the word red written on it<\/p>\n If there was a third poster what colour would it be and what would be written on it<\/p>\n Yellow and the word Wilson would be written on it<\/p>\n How did you know that Anna<\/p>\n existing in thought or as an idea but not having a physical or concrete existence<\/em><\/p>\n Coffee<\/p>\n Please<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Anna there is a rhinoceros under this table Do not be absurd Anna I tell you there is a rhinoceros under this table I repeat that is an absurdity Why Because there is not enough room under the table How do you know that Because hippos are large creatures Again I ask you how do […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-11476","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/stuartmillerosborne.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11476","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/stuartmillerosborne.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/stuartmillerosborne.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stuartmillerosborne.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stuartmillerosborne.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=11476"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/stuartmillerosborne.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11476\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":11519,"href":"https:\/\/stuartmillerosborne.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11476\/revisions\/11519"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/stuartmillerosborne.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=11476"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stuartmillerosborne.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=11476"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stuartmillerosborne.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=11476"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
