Nobody expects the Spanish language inquisition.

Me llamo T-Bone. La araña discoteca.

I'm so happy I get this reference

The essence of reality is in the difference between "ser" and "estar".

[–] Canadian_Cabinet@lemmy.ca 10 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Ser and estar aren't that difficult. I mostly see people struggle with por/para or the subjunctive mood.

[–] oce@jlai.lu 11 points 6 months ago

It's not about the difficulty, it's that what they differentiate has philosophical consequences.

[–] KillingTimeItself@lemmy.dbzer0.com 19 points 6 months ago (2 children)

philosophy isn't real, your life is a lie, everything you've ever known and loved is a social construct made up at some point to appease the human brains insatiable desire for structure.

And yet, philosophers still exist for some reason. Curious.

I too hear the call of the void, brother.

the call of the void is the philosophers bedding.

All form is interpretation.

So is interpretation just physics? Like, mass and inertia?

interpretation would be a linguistic concept. Specifically regarding the structuring of sentences in a language. Unless we're referring to the physical act of conceptualizing a real concept, which then again, falls back onto linguistic roots.

Math, physics, and science, would all be a fundamental existence of the universe, our construct of that system in the universe is merely our common interpretation of how to conceptualize and explain that thing.

You place one stick on the ground, you have one stick on the ground, you place two sticks on the ground, and you have two sticks on the ground. This sentence is merely a conceptualized representation of the concept that things are static, and can be conjoined into bodies.

It nature this can be seen at the atomic level, or on a beach of sand for instance. Though the atomic model we have, is yet another interpretation of something.

Really and truly though, it's physics.

[–] lseif@sopuli.xyz 22 points 6 months ago

actually physics is just applied math. and in fact, it is actually philosophy. which is applied language. so the spanish teacher is right.

Physics, chemistry, biology, neuroscience, whatever other physical sciences are all the same thing when you get down to it, just a different applications of it for describing different things...

Spanish is just the bastard child of Latin.

Essence of Reality? Tan cierto.

I never realized this but it seems logical. I grew up in a French speaking area of Canada, English is the second language, but the provincial TV was broadcasting Spanish lessons. From the earliest moment that I can remember watching TV, there was Spanish lessons on it.
