I became interested in philosophy a few years ago and made a casual acquaintance with some of the characters who have played a part in its progression since Socrates wandered about the market places of ancient Greece, annoying the locals. I can’t say I am any wiser because of it. I thought that learning about philosophy might help facilitate my getting to the truth of things. If it has taught me anything at all, it is that there isn’t a truth of things.

Perhaps a better way of putting that would be to say that the word “truth” stands for something different every time we use it, but it always seems to involve distilling or isolating something from something bigger. What we end up with is very often something that has to be separated from any wider context in order to satisfy our desire for a binary* outcome.

Philosophy isn’t really about getting to the truth, it’s more about getting to what isn’t the truth, and for that alone, it’s worth pursuing.



* I would have said “black and white” at one time.

Move along please folks unless you can help me with some Spanish colloquialisms because I suspect my leg is being gently pulled ... not going to say what I've been told they mean in case mischievous types promptly agree. And LOOK at them - I do not want to use these phrases unless I know they really do have the well-known colloquial meaning I'm told they have

1. Me cago en la leche - literally, yup, I crap in the milk. Um.
2. Ser la leche! (milk is surprisingly popular, eh?)
3. que chulo - no way I'm telling someone they're a pimp until I know it's cool
4. Eres el puto amo - or a male whore!
5. No me jodas - sounds potentially extremely useful. Please confirm.
6. Vete a la mierde - ditto.
7. Que te follen - what I'm told sounds useful, the online translator disagrees.

What Is Your Opinion?

A very, very, VERY old word that is actually two words which has an extensive meaning, the modern pseudo/inaccurate meaning we know it commonly as, is song. But before the guitar the Maori word for song was aniani which actually means chant.

So I will break down the two words:

Wai (pronounced as why) =
Memory, Recollection of words, Instruction given, Water, Fishing net.

Ata (pronounced as utter, except without the rrrrr in the end,) =
Care/careful, deliberation(referring to slow and careful movement), thoroughness, gentle, slow, clear open without concealment. Deliberate. Form, shape as opposed to substance. Reflected image. Early morning/dawn

Similar to the Japanese we write our words/sentences backwards, referring to english grammar. So the pseudonym is ata wai.

So in summary:
The pronunciation is short and sharp and is said as one word without the rrrrr at the end

Waiata (why-utter) = A careful deliberation, gentle clear and open without concealment, both in form and shape done in the early mornings. Of a memory, recollection of words, or instruction given. From Our Father. aka Water of Heaven.

I'll do good deeds like changing your tire...and for twenty bucks I'll even tighten the lug nuts.

If I find a lost wallet, I promise to drop it in a mailbox after taking only half of the money.

I'll pray for the godless heathens....but I'm not sure who or what to pray to since I'm a godless heathen.

I'd climb the highest mountain and swim the widest river...to get on the Maury Povich show.

If I ever get superpowers, I promise to use them for good and to fight for truth, justice...ah who am I kidding, I'm gonna use them to get laid.

I'll gladly trade my proverbial fifteen minutes of fame for a three minute rub-and-tug at a 'Palm' Beach massage parlor.

What Is Your Opinion

It's nice to see people enjoying interactions with each other. I'm working on trying to be more tolerant of loudness, especially in cackling/chortling laughter. The hearing impaired do have a tendency to talk louder, and alcohol deadens the eighth cranial nerve, so we have loud chats in bars. But sober, normal hearing folks in otherwise quiet cafe venues provide their own special sort of distraction. Earbuds and music streaming help.
