I guess you wanted one of those to be the other way around. In any case, that's commutativity not associativity
In python I can overwrite the times function of one element that means that different elements have slightly different times functions. As such it's important to know whether X times Y means that times is a function of the X or of the Y object.
But you might be right that associativity is not the right word.
I do? Please, tell me more about how I rate precision.
When I see the word precision I see it has having a certain meaning that people at university taught me. You might mean something different with the term. What do you mean?
Which I think simply amounts to the fact that the same sentence may denote different propositions in different contexts, because meaning is context-dependent
In the case of color my position lead to disagreement with other people on LW because I follow different heuristics about truth than other people.
But since (I think) intelligent thoughtful people are generally entirely unbothered by the idea of context-dependent meaning, any version of context-dependent truth value that can't be clearly distinguished from context-dependent meaning shouldn't be that controversial :-).
There are many thoughtful people who put a lot of value in searching something like objective truth. Do you deny that proposition?
Do you deny that proposition?
Nope. Because so far everything you've said seems perfectly compatible with "something like objective truth".
I appreciate that you consider yourself to be denying that any such thing is possible -- which is why I am interested in finding out exactly what it is you're claiming, and whether your disagreement with the seekers after objective truth is about more than terminology.
As per a recent comment this thread is meant to voice contrarian opinions, that is anything this community tends not to agree with. Thus I ask you to post your contrarian views and upvote anything you do not agree with based on personal beliefs. Spam and trolling still needs to be downvoted.
