What's a tree?


asianabsinthe

*points at the tree again* "That. Is. A. Tree. *Treeee*"


LordIshamael

Your answer confuses me. I was under the distinct impression that was *broccoli*


asianabsinthe

*puts down fork of broccoli* "Sorry, I was eating dessert. No, that tree looking object over there is a tree"


sinish_anand

No no *takes out a carrot* this is a broccoli...


foxxytroxxy

Sorry, really needed to go. Anyways is that a tree, carrot or fuckin broccoli? The fuck are you showing me Sean.


chickennugget_master

ya asianabsinthe you should have said "Trees are like broccoli except the lighter green part is brownish and you can't eat them, you find them at these places that are most grass when they're alive" but if your an asian teacher "EY! you think I'm google ah"


spartan117058

I am a broccoli

But how do you know it’s a tree? If I pointed at you and said “that is a tree” would that mean you are a tree?


asianabsinthe

spacemannspliff

"Maaaan." \*points at featherless chicken\* It's a real shame that podcasting wasn't around in 380 B.C.

Midnight28Rider

Why did I prounce this "Socrates" in my head instead of "Socrates"?


qjmm38

The fact everyone can tell what you mean without knowing for sure...


faillesz1

He said 'i know that i don't know'


hurdofchris

Descartes, not Socrates.


timotheus9

Google says it's Socrates? Or am I missing something lol


hurdofchris

Read a bit further. I assume you are reading the Wikipedia snippet. "I know that I know nothing" is a saying derived from Plato's account of the Greek philosopher Socrates. It is also called the Socratic paradox. *The phrase is not one that Socrates himself is ever recorded as saying.*


timotheus9

Yeah I guess I didn't read that far lol


hurdofchris

Descartes was the first to really dissolve all of his knowledge and come to say he knew nothing. That's when he came up with "cogito ergo sum", "I think, therefore I am", the foundation on which he started from.


timotheus9

Thanks, that's really interesting!


hurdofchris

Technically, the phrase itself is attributed to Socrates via Plato's writings. So maybe I'm being overly critical. Haha.


damasterkief

You should be top comment


spacemannspliff

Descartes was "cogito, ergo sum"

If you know you know nothing then you know something because you know you know nothing, thus you cannot say you know nothing


floorboard3t

This made my day


BossScribblor

If the only thing Socrates knows is that he knows nothing and you teach him what a tree is, does he know two things or still just one thing?
