death... life....?

death is a part of life. although thinking about dying could destroy the living. like drake says, "everybody dies but not everybody lives" ...or was that lil wayne? idk, but it's true.

grue & bleen

Nelson Goodman on Induction (Grue and Bleen!)


grueOn our Goodman episode, I start out by trying to give a short explanation of Goodman’s “New Riddle of Induction.” When we’re presented with evidence for a general claim, how do we tell which general claim the evidence is in support of? Goodman contrasts the predicate “green,” which we might think we can project to future cases when we see that all current emeralds are green, with “grue,” which is defined as green previous to this moment and blue after this moment. He argues that our past observations don’t tell us which predicate should be projected into the future; we have to give an explanation why we intuitively want to project green and not grue, even though we haven’t yet had an experience running counter to the hypothesis that all emeralds are grue. Giving an account of this is more difficult than you might think, and this essay shows Goodman in full-bore analytic mode: very methodical, but still readable and actually fun if you’re into that sort of thing, as opposed to his mathematical philosophy, which I think is no fun under any circumstances.

You can read the essay here or get ahold of Fact, Fiction, and Forecast,
the book that contains it, which is really one continuous essay with a few phases: on counterfactuals, possibility, and then after discussing induction, he gives a positive account for how to solve the problems he’s put forth, which involves, as you might guess, reference to convention, but of course it’s much more complicated than that.

This is an article I found off of google when i typed in "grue bleen". So if you get anything from this, then yay.

no art

if there was no art, there really wouldn't be anything....you can take everything as art. even buildings are considered a type of art. the world really wouldn't exist, it'd be extremely boring.

i don't think traditional art should be replaced by digital art. i think they can work together, or just be completely seperate & have their own thing.

what is beauty

beauty is in the eye of the beholder. it depends on who you ask, others can only find it in material, fake things. others see it in things that people would normally consider "ugly".
