@niriop :)  :)

This was a great laugh. Is it a serious critique or a joke? I'm interested either way.

(Plus, Quine's pragmatic stance toward theory as a whole is what puts him in place for realism about numbers and sets, so if we are going to be criticizing this aspect keep that in mind. Economy...etc. )

[conceptualtruth]

@TheClayton387 Serious critique or joke ... don't make me choose! :)

[Forkroute]

W0w...great!

[conceptualtruth]

@Forkroute Thank you!

[Brunnhilda]

mmm yeah... :)

[trollforlife]

OHmygoodness. I keep repeating this. If only all philosophy was done in song...

[conceptualtruth]

@trollforlife :) One day ... one day.

I was trying to decide if this is a video, or simply undetached still-frames, .... but got interrupted by the barking of my two dogmas.

Never mind, it's late, I'm tired.

GAVAGAI !!!!!

[conceptualtruth]

Don't let him lure you in ... !

[paulnoordhof]

Had me smiling Ms conceptualtruth... anybody ever accuse you of being a tease?

[conceptualtruth]

@paulnoordhof No. Nobody. Ever. (Except maybe you, by implicature, just now.)

[paulnoordhof]

@conceptualtruth I thought as much. Well if anything ever so unfair is laid at your door, let the resistance start here. Wilful misinterpretation that's all it would be!!!

[zappa3837]

WoW!!!!

[conceptualtruth]

:) :)

[146Johnny]

Very nice vocals, love the song!! Big fan!!

[conceptualtruth]

Thanks Johnny!

This is catchiest song on the record. It gets stuck in people's heads too.

It even made me go back and look at Quine. Unfortunately, the song was better.

[conceptualtruth]

:D Thanks!

[ralph435z]

Is the lyric "and you lead in, with the promise of positions"?

Also, what is the lyric after "all aboard" in the first chorus?

[conceptualtruth]

It's "He'll lure you in with the promise of positions" and "All aboard Neurath's ship; it will all be fine". :)

[conceptualtruth]

PS: The complete lyrics are available from the link in the info, if you need to check any of the others! Just scroll down to the song, and there's a 'view lyrics' button on the left!

[VanessaSurian]

Great lyrics! Lovely voice as well.

[conceptualtruth]

So kind! Thank you!

[ralph435z]

Hmm. I like my lyrics better. Those positions are bad, but he likes them. So, it makes sense to say "and you lead in, with the promise of positions, that you love" - where the "you" is Quine. No one likes realism about numbers and sets, or a continuity between philosophy and science.

[conceptualtruth]

/I/ love all those things!

[ralph435z]

But I suppose that has to do with why these songs are so great. Analytic philosophy is a McCarthyist disaster, but it makes for great music! (e.g. comedy of the absurd)

[guitarrx3girl]
