Your reasoning (and mine) is in relation to an object (or conceptial existing objects) math and english (read any language) expresses attributes of an object and are truths that make up the big TRUTH but standing alone they are nothing |
No, they are something. They are truths. And as you said, they make up TRUTH. And you just further helped my argument by arguing their importance as being unimportant. Language systems still encompass an essence. Why, one cannot have a variety of "things" (your computer for instance, or books) without some kind of language system. Ergo, language systems are very much important. Probably more important is the understanding of language sytem than the undertsanding of material things. The complexities and the philosophies are far more astounding really. So, how important, how different, is writing that: you too are the best . . . when compared to: U 2 R l337 [you too are leet].
Is knowledge of "leet" speak or "net" speak a justifiable subject for the objective TRUTH . . . or is it merely a waste?
