This is very being wrong.

>>26013310
neither concept could exist without the elements of the other. You can't trust observations without deducting that the observation method is correct, and you can't make a deduction without some form of observation. using either exclusively would be considered faith

Well, but from a certain POV Apples and Oranges are basically the same thing. They both exist as concept of a spheroidal fruit.

you're right, in an intellectual vacuum. but to learn to make deductions, examples need to be shown to teach the very concept. this is due to the lack of pure abstract thought in sentient beings. dig deep enough and every rule, law, and definition is rooted in an observation used as a reference. how would explaining shapes work without a observable representation of sides and angles?
I began writing an example to this when I noticed, how does one define observation when the thing in question is a concept. It's late and I think I'm rambling.

anyway, what do you think of Asian Pears, are they apple enough? or are they too pear?

>>26013414
I meant no disrespect. I never thought you were stupid.
It's just that I didn't expect for you to go so... in-depth about such things. I expect this sort of thing more from the purple one.

yes, I've always has an applied mindset. learning never appealed to me unless it had a clear use. I suppose that led to my interest in Engineering over mathematics.
>>26013582
do you have... mental capacity issues when you lose your wings? were you relying on magic princess power too much?

>>26013574
It's not heretical, it's true. Think about it: our concept of fruit is usually something that grows on trees and has a specific flavor, size, form and smell. Now, about flavor and smell, those are generally subjective, different people probably get different feelings from those. So, let's get to size and form. Apples and Oranges are both spheroids, roughly of the same size, and both can produce a juice if squezed/mashed in the right way. This means that, ironically, apple and oranges pertain to the very same concept, not taking in account subjectiveness.

RELATIVISM IS NOT AN ABSOLUTE, AJ! You can love apples and oranges at the same time! And accept the fact that they do indeed are the same thing, as long as subjectivity is not involved!

>>26013609
good sir, taste and smell are objective at a chemical level. it is subjective at a brain processing level, but the properties of the fruits are physically significant and measurable.
You're using the old "is what I see as green the same as yours?" argument. that doesn't change the fact that green and red are different colors

Of course. But point is, the labels we give to things are based on our experience of them. Now, apple and oranges are definitely different on a rational level. On a more conceptual one, they do play the same part. Think of it like this: apples are earth ponies, oranges are unicorns. Are they the same kind of horse? No, as we all know unicorns have horns, while earthies don't. But, on an epistemologic level they both fulfil the 'little ponies' trope. This means that when somebody mentions "ponies" earthies, unicorns and even pegasi are equally represented in our mind, thus they share a meaning.

This doesn't lower their singular value as individuals, but simply proves that apples can be as good as oranges, when concepts are involved

>>26013496

Who roleplays as a pony at 3 AM?

>>26013687
Philosophy majors, apparently.

>>26013661
well yes, if your measurement of "good" is simply from a random person's perspective. what I don't agree with is the arbitrary grouping of objects based on a small group of similarities, then saying they are comparable. I could say apples and cardboard are virtually the same because they are both edible and come from trees in some way. they both fulfil the 'tree product' trope. I think the mindset is valid by itself, but not as applicable in the given scenario as you think. but now we come to an argument of perspective from a different angle, and it's now 6AM. My brain is tired enough
