The Intricacies of Innacuracy

Few people recognize the true nuance that it takes to be wrong. Most people try too hard to be right all the time, and forget that this is an impossibility. We must embrace our own incorrectness, and learn to use it wisely!

I hope that my friend RealityGrip will not mind if I use his paraphrase of Wittgenstein, but I see no reason that he would object. So, to inform my own discussion I will take from his:

"To steal directly from Wittgenstein, let us review:

sinn / sense* Statements given to us by the natural sciences have sense. Sense can be understood of as meaning, import, usefulness, etc.

sinnloss/ senseless** Statements about logic or math can be understood as senseless. 'This statement is true.' '1 + 1 = 2' 'It is either raining or it is not raining.' These statements carry no information. As my prof. put it, they are 'true by courtesy.' Such statements are true by virtue of the definitions of the words they use, therefore, they have no actual meaning.

unsinnig / nonsense*** Statements such as 'the true is more identical than the beautiful' 'the house man spotted the wooly' are nonsense. Clearly. These statements do not have anything analyzable for truth or falsity; to call them either true or false would be a misnomer, as they are just pure crap.

*Use or reproduction of any material herein without express permission, written or otherwise, of the proprietor of this blog (read: me) will be frowned upon highly (read: prosecuted with all directness appropriate for the nature of the specific incident in question).

**Those found to be using material herein without express permission, written or otherwise, of the proprietor of this blog (read: me) will be immediately hunted down. Upon learning your address, I will paint half of my face blue, bring my claymore to your doorstep, and invade your house. All opposition will be handled with extreme prejudice.

***If I learn of anyone using material herein without express permission, written or otherwise, of the proprietor of this blog (read: me), I will imediately clean up my act and pursue a career in politics. Once I have ascended to a suitable position, that person will be erased from history."

(this may or may not be an exact quote)

You see, there are many ways to spew bullshit. Each has its own effect and should be used appropriately. Personally, I like a good balance between each kind of bullshit for a well rounded palate. However, I encourage all to add their own flair to their bullshit; mix and match each kind to taste. There is an unappreciated richness to this art.

Furthermore, with the recent information boom, we now have a dizzying array of things about which we can be wrong. The internet allows us to accumulate and misinterpret misinformation about things that our ancestors would simply have ignored! What a glorious future it is for bullshitting!!!

Let us ring this future in with useless blogs full of nonsense!
