Okay everyone. I know you are all tender and have been seeking a target upon whom to channel all your rage. Hit me with everything you got. I'll bear the cross for the sake of giving you some release. Hit me with the cheese whiz.

Hit me with the cheese whiz. I don't think anybody here is trying to pick a fight or "channel rage" - apparently some of us just aren't on the same humor frequency, which is fine. Because at the end of the day, this whole process sucks and we're in stuck in it together. So let's all shake hands and keep this forum the supportive place it's meant to be.

brush Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 The joke doesn't even make sense... The guy asked whether A or B. Answering "yes" to a question like this on the internet means--unlike in logic--that A and B, and this is the answer everyone intended here. However, this is different then answering "yes" to it being the case that A or B in the logical sense. Yet, you guys continue to conflate the two. In any case, the philosophical answer doesn't give ZoliK the information he was requesting anyways. He already knows A or B is true in the logical sense. He obviously wanted to know whether its true in virtue of both disjuncts being true, or just one being true. ZoliK 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gughok Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 You know one of my writing samples argued for a memetic view whereby convention is nothing more than the evolutionary propagation of self-perpetuating behaviours and structures. Having come back from dinner I was treated to an excellent case in point where two responses to "yes" as an answer for "a or b" are battling it out in grand behavioural Darwinism.

It need not be the case, but 'or' does cover such cases. So I don't know what's being conflated, exactly... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The joke depends on each usage giving the same result. But they don't. Anyways its probably best that this conversation just dies and we go back to our miserable topic of rejections lol Edited February 16, 2016 by brush Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pecado Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 (edited) Please stop the discussion. It was obviously a joke, without a lot of importance. There 2 pages of silly discussion right now, in the thread of the rejecteds... You are giving a bad image of us rejected ones, like if this proved that we had to be rejected!

Schwarzwald Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 Lol, leave it to the philosophy forum to argue about the meaning of 'or.' How about you guys put some of this energy into helping me write my writing sample for next year? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The person that asked the question did not ask it using the logical or and the person responding was just using internet convention. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bravesball Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 So on the topic of rejections, we're presuming rejections for Carnegie Mellon, right? Or is there still hope? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
