Short answer is obviously. We are obviously connected in relationships to everything. I've been thinking lately; if this is what you believe, that if every thought that we have is really a series of chemical firings, then every thought that we have is real in this way. This is a bridge from thought to reality. In fact, it looks more like a bridge from one part of reality to another.
Such a bridge has shocking consequences. So, when you think of a unicorn, that unicorn is real to the extent that it is chemicals in the brain. There's another sense of falsity, whereupon we can logically write out that something is false by using a negation sign. The negation sign is fortunately the same minus sign that you use for subtraction, albeit with a parallel and different meaning.
When you put a not sign in front of something, it means that that statement is true as it is written as false.
So the sentence 'I am the Walrus' is really, 'not 'I am the Walrus'' because let's face it, we know the Walrus, and you are not him.
that is
ReplyDeleteOranges are Orange
could be
not (oranges are orange)
as in false
or
(not (not (oranges are orange))
as in true
now go ahead and apply this to the real world
