If a tree falls in the forest
    #7754571 - 12/13/07 04:38 PM (16 years, 1 month ago)

and a one armed man applauds it, can a bear still shit in the woods?

it depends right?
there is no definitive answer to this question, as outrageously stupid as it sounds, there are a lot of variables... and depending on what those variables are, the answer can go either way.

this is an exercise in semantics.... so lets see where we can take this while ultimately figuring out if a one armed man clapping at the fall of a tree in a forest can create constipation directly or indirectly in a bear.

give a reason why you:
think in favor of the statement
think the statement is incorrect
think that this thread has no philosophical value

I am in favor of the idea that the bear can no longer shit in the woods. If the man is applauding with only one arm, the only logical explanation is that the arm must be lodged up the bear's ass.

There is a condition to this however, that if the bear tries to shit hard enough it may either have
a) explosive defication
b) spontaneous combustion

how would he have applauded if his only arm was up a bears ass?

I think you are overlooking a very simple solution to this.

Ok, well i was assuming that since you were the one putting forth the idea of a one armed applause, I assumed you assumed that "applauding" would count as maybe slapping your hand against your thigh or something, but I guess its safe to assume you didn't assume that, which is to say I assumed too much.

I think this thread has no philosophical value for obvious reasons.

But I'm not going to lock it, unless I'm requested to, because I can appreciate the value of satire. :snowman:

well, it is a work in progress... maybe no real philosophical value, but it definitely has a point.
I think that the way we put forth our questions to "the panel" have a lot to do with threads getting bogged down in semantics.

when we ask questions, which in our minds have very fine details... because we thought of them that way... but that doesnt translate too well.
the other side of this is that we get bogged down in details that arent pertinent to the situation, where it is obvious that the semantic argument is a red herring.

To use this thread as an example, the easiest answer is that the bear is in hibernation/estivation/torpor, in which case it really doesnt take a shit.
Whether or not it is an evergreen or some coniferous tree that fell, or even if the one armed man had a prosthetic... it doesnt matter.

assuming that the laws of reality are the same as they are in our reality.. NO because if a one armed man could clap, then the laws would be different thus meaning the bear may or may not even shit in the place.

So we don't really know right?

Correct me, i want to hear this.

the OP does not state what has happened to the arm thus we are assuming he is one armed just "because"

we are determining wether or not it is "philosophical" that such a thing is true or not?

or?

Well if you look at the way the question is phrased, "can a bear still shit in the woods?" The answer is yes no matter if the laws of physics have changed. A bear CAN still shit in the woods, its just a question of how and in what way.

It could be argued that if the laws of reality are different, a bear might not even have the organs necessary to shit, but at that point I don't think we could call it a bear, so the entire point would be irrelevant.

So therefore, assuming that the man is defying the laws of reality by applauding one-armedly, a bear which still follows our laws could still theoretically shit regardless.

Yes, a bear can still shit in the woods, even though the man couldn't applaud due to his only having one hand.

Well its possible that the bear had eaten the one armed mans missing arm and maybe not now but at some point will need to shit in or around the wood

He did not laugh as his eyes stopped in awareness of the earth around him. His face was like a law of nature-a thing one could not question, alter or implore. It had high cheekbones over gaunt, hollow cheeks; gray eyes, cold and steady; a contemptuous mouth, shut tight, the mouth of an executioner or a saint.

How are the man's "applauding" and the bear's shitting related?
