Today I learned that semantics is important because my pantheism/deism seems to be collapsing under language. Maybe Wittgenstein was right?
I mean, to be fair, I already knew that semantics was very important and I hate it when people say "that's just semantics" ...... but semantics may be even more important than I realized.
I am still a utilitarian but I am not so sure about my theism anymore. I'm currently doubting myself a lot. And I'm trying to see how this affects my ethics because before I was just saying that everything is good but now that is starting to feel nihilistic.
(When I say "theism" I am using it in the very very broad sense of simply non-atheism so it includes both pantheism and deism).

Did you get a second opinion?
Hey, GS, you going to have your head frozen, (eventually)?
If you get to thinking you’re a person of some influence, try ordering somebody else’s dog around.

I'll take your lyric and raise you with: Shot through the heart. And I'm to blame. I give love a bad name.
It's my alternative spin on a lyric from a super cheesy Bon Jovi song.

I I gave you my honest answer I'd probably be reamed by everyone for being negative.
So I'll just say I haven't decided.
