ant0n Posted December 22, 2021 #10426 Share Posted December 22, 2021 Humans could be considered highly sophisticated biological machines sounding more or less "human" but, in fact, they just behave like more or less charming versions of Terminators wearing synthetic skin and hair, right?

Helen of Annoy Posted December 22, 2021 #10427 Share Posted December 22, 2021 Humans, like Terminators? Hell, no, Terminators had their goals, dedication, methods... if there's something humans are consistent at, isn't that inconsistency? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ant0n Posted December 27, 2021 #10428 Share Posted December 27, 2021 I don't know any human who knows... "humans": "Humans do this or humans do that", it's just a lovely hasty generalization for which "exceptions" should be the rule? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helen of Annoy Posted December 27, 2021 #10429 Share Posted December 27, 2021 Well, yes, humans do humane things and humans can also do the most inhumane things, but how can you communicate with humans without generalizations? Haven't you noticed that they communicate almost exclusively through generalizations, phrases, references and allegories? And why not, isn't - let me use an adage, like a true human - a picture worth a thousand words and aren't allegories and phrases and such a sort of verbal pictures?

Can you imagine any less thrilling body part? Except when you hit your elbow, I hit mine few days ago and it's still a little sore because I keep leaning on it, but on the brighter side, would I ever discover how much time my right elbow carries half of my body weight and doesn't that explain why my right shoulder hurts for seemingly no reason? If anyone was wondering why don't I just lean on my left elbow for a change, it's because I'd have to switch my left and right hand and the position of my desk and then I'd have to have air conditioning unit moved to the other wall which means the shelves would have to be moved to the other-other wall and if I do that this wall would have to be painted and who paints walls in middle of winter? Do you want me to die from draught? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Helen of Annoy Posted February 2, 2022 #10438 Share Posted February 2, 2022 You think that was dramatic? What would you call it if you could the see whole performance with gesticulating, re-enacting the event that resulted in my elbow being hit and opening and closing door and window to demonstrate the draught? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
