| the filesize of your logo is pretty extreme.. and it feels like you only posted here to plug your relatively inactive forum. If you happen to reply to this thread maybe you could tell us more about yourself. |

| I read your psychology essay, and I feel you have missed the point of the "tree falling in the forest" problem, which has nothing to do with who is around or what frequency the sound is- which are empirical matters, whereas the problem is one of epistemology One perspective will argue that a "sound" is the brains cognition of an external impulse that has been transformed into neuronal impulses by the ear, or rather, when we say "sound" we refer specifically to our subjective experience of a sound sensation, we can have no conception of sound outside of this cognition. In this framework, the tree makes no sound, for there is noone there to hear it and recognize it as such; we can never refer to external reality with words, for words are of an entirely experiential nature. The other perspective is based on induction, the premise that if you see a few trees fall, and they make sounds, you can theoretically say that the tree in the woods will make a sound As far as I am concerned, the inductive approach is more theoretical, whereas the first perspective, a phenomenalist one, is more practical... but thats pretty typical of an introvert I think |
