Is something a lie if it's factually incorrect but emotionally

>emotionally correct
wtf is this newspeak

Depends on what you mean by "correct"?

emotionally correct? what does that even mean

I just opened this thread to have a look at my girl tay tay. I didn't and will not read the OP.

It all depends on what the meaning of is is

>>9459019
You should read Nietzsche. Such questions, albeit better formulated, are all over his work (especially in The Dawn), influencing an entire generation of philosophers and psychoanalysts worrying about the truth of the illusion.

If you convey the right emotion.
Example: I will love you forever. Even if I won't in that moment I feel like I will.
Sorry for crappy explanation. I'm talking about conveying an emotion

>>9459047
Well, I would argue that's not a lie if you actually mean it. If your intent is to love someone forever because you feel that way about them, you're not lying when you say it to them.

>>9459056
Yeah the example is poor because I don't know in that moment yet.
But what if I use exalted language to portray the correct feeling knowing it is factually wrong?

>>9459065
Your intent is not to deceive the person who you're talking to, so it wouldn't be a lie.

Thanks

>>9459046
I will

>>9459019
depends

>>9459202
on?

Depends entirely on the context, I guess. The value of facts is entirely different in a scientific thesis and a conversation between two friends, for instance.

But I don't know what "emotionally correct" means, so I might be missing your point entirely.

Yes. It's a sentiment.
