>And so, in conclusion, I believe I have amply demonstrated that "Your Mother", also sometimes referred to as "Yo momma" and "Dat Bitch" was not an actual, historic figure, but rather a composite character, formed from the melding of many mothers, and thus forming a non-human battery of traits such as excessive weight, sluttishness, and stupidity. Any questions?

what are you trying to say

You've seen the evidence. We have gigabytes of data, transcribed onto thousands of pages, that refer to this figure of "Your mother". She was not an actual, living, breathing person. She was never a historic personage. She was a composite. All references to "Your mother" should be read carefully, in the proper historic context, and with the understanding that very likely, each of them refers to a different woman, if they even refer to a woman at all.

What implications do Godel's Incompleteness Theorems have on Philosophy?

In any logical, mathematical system that is sophisticated enough to include anything like what we call everyday arithmetic, there are always going to be true statements that cannot be proved within that system. Moreover, if such a logical/mathematical system entails a statement or result that "it IS consistent" (rather, that the system and its rules, used properly, never produce contradictory results), then it is actually, rather, inconsistent.
Since being able to /prove/ that something is true, given such-and-such premises, axioms etc, is valued and held as foundational of mathematical knowledge, and since we are very inclined to rely on arithmetic, Gödel's incompleteness theorems tell us "u can't no everyfin, mane, not ever, no matter how hard u try". There will knowably, provably always be un-proveable (which in philosophy of mathematics might be conflated with un-knowable) gaps in mathematics, which delimits knowledge itself. When Gödel's theorems broke, it is not hyperbole to say that they were the biggest development in logic since the ancient world. The incompleteness theorems specifically also did much to scuttle Hilbert and Whitehead/Russell's respective programs.
So, they were a big deal, and a /definite/ result with direct implications for both epistomology and philosophy of mathematics. That is their significance to philosophy. Also the proof did a clever thing about semantically equating statement-strings with the natural numbers that they represent, or something like that, I honestly don't remember the details. Any time a proof is clever/novel like that, mathematicians like it.

So Historians agree that Justinian's silly quest to restore the Roman Empire bankrupted his state and contributed to its downfall when facing the Persians and Islam a few centuries later.
But could the Greeks have pull this whole thing around after the conquest?

No. The plague crippled the urban Greek populations allowing Slavs, Lombards, and Arabs to move in.

> There is a somewhat analogous situation with regard to the heterosexual seduction procedure in our Politically Correct times: the two sets, the set of PC behaviour and the set of seduction, do not actually intersect anywhere; that is, there is no seduction which is not in a way an "incorrect" intrusion or harassment — at some point, one has to expose oneself and "make a pass." So does this mean that every seduction is incorrect harassment through and through? No, and that is the catch: when you make a pass, you expose yourself to the Other (the potential partner), and she decides retroactively, by her reaction, whether what you have just done was harassment or a successful act of seduction — and there is no way to tell in advance what her reaction will be. This is why assertive women often despise "weak" men — because they fear to expose themselves, to take the necessary risk. And perhaps this is even more true in our PC times: are not PC prohibitions rules which, in one way or another, are to be violated in the seduction process? Is not the seducer’s art to accomplish this violation properly — so that afterwards, by its acceptance, its harassing aspect will be retroactively cancelled?
What did this world famous and respected philosopher mean by this piece of philosophy?

Hello /his/, bit of an odd question but I'm not sure where else to turn.
Basically I want to get my girlfriends dad something really cool for his 60th and he's always had an eye for the soviet gear and generally likes wearing leather jackets.
So, was wondering if anyone could tell me where to find a jacket like this (I'm in the uk) or if you know the name of this kinda thing or something like it.
