Captain Scarlet Wrote:You may have used it is an adverb to is.it has nothing to do with how I used it... it's how it is. words that have an added 'ly' are forms of the word that are most likely an adverb... such is true in this case with the word 'objectively.' if you don't believe me, look up objective in the dictionary and look where it has alternate forms and see what it classifies 'objectively' as. English 101...
Captain Scarlet Wrote:But what is the difference between reality is functionally real (adv) or there is a functional reality (adj), my intended use.I think we were talking about my use of the word... not yours...
Captain Scarlet Wrote:way you fail to address the issue...then write the word "fail" claiming a victory for yourself.I wrote the word 'fail' because you made an epic grammar fail by falsely correcting my grammar, and claiming 'objectively' is an adjective when it in no circumstances is an adjective. an adjective form of the word would be 'objectivity' because you can correctly describe a noun with that word. you seem to know the adjective form of 'function' though.
Captian Scarlet Wrote:Which is indicative of the strength of your argument because you have nothing but an evasive word salad to offer back.what is with you people with your accusations of 'word salad' whenever you don't understand something? I think I answered you quite clearly. your only "argument!" you had in that post besides your epic grammar correction fail, was a claim "To say you do not live in an objectively real world, is to say you live in a fantasy world, whether you created or someone else did."
I addressed this clearly and directly saying "it really doesn't matter whether you consider it real or not. the point is it functions like a real world, thus you would interact in it with the same functional purposes as a real world."
so i'm not being evasive in any sense of the word... my direct response was if it functions like a real world, you interact with it like a real world. thus there's no reason to 'separate your body from your neck' just because the world is not actually real...
I do not feel obliged to believe that the same God who has endowed us with senses, reason, and intellect has intended us to forgo their use and by some other means to give us knowledge which we can attain by them.
