This is the definition of "old coot".

@RPDiem According to the post modern philosophy you adhere to there can be no old coots. Old like coot is simply a human construct and thus of no value.

@hippyjoe1955 Philosophy is not a science, it doesn't observe rules of nature and experiment and documents. Philosophies are concepts and abstracts.

I am slain by your wit. Truly, you have all the answers, and your wisdom knows no bounds.

The social construct routine...so old.@offingg
hippyjoe1955 · 70-79, M
@offingg We interpret our science through our philosophy and we modify our philosophy to our understanding of science. The two are not independent. Your "human construct" comes from the post modern philosophy of no absolutes and thus it taints your understanding of science.

For the record, I agree with neither of you. I just dislike hippyjoe1995 more for his condescending attitude.

@SW-User Tell that to the person who started the thread. The beginning of which was 'Time is a social construct'.

@hippyjoe1955 .....What? No, that's not how science works, we don't interpret science by subjectiveness, we interpret science by measures and tests

@hippyjoe1955 I didn't say time is a social construct, I said time is relative, it exists to us. But in reality, time is an illusion.
hippyjoe1955 · 70-79, M
@offingg Or to use a different term to express the same idea - it is a social construct.

@hippyjoe1955 Einstein described how time is an illusion.. I guess you're smarter than Einstein now.

"reality is merely an illusion, albeit a very persistent one"

""the dividing line between past, present, and future is an illusion".
hippyjoe1955 · 70-79, M
@offingg And you don't understand him since you are too immersed in post modern philosophy.
offingg · 31-35, F
@hippyjoe1955 Go away. I've had enough of your pseudo science.
hippyjoe1955 · 70-79, M
@offingg You wouldn't know science if it bit you on the butt.
offingg · 31-35, F
@hippyjoe1955 That would be directed to someone who claims time is constant to the observer. oh wait, that's you.

@RPDiem You don't agree with how science says time is relative? Lol, k.
