(Here I don’t exactly mean what I say. But hint at why & how things are tricky.)
1)
In a
seeming tautology there is a pun. But let alone any divergence, the second
meaning is an uncontestable proof of the first meaning. The composed sentence
is Progeny
of a sterile is inconceivable for it is inconceivable.
2)
Astrology
(any other unintelligible-correlation-based prediction) refutes itself the
moment it is used, for the use changes the course of (at least mental) events
& if it remains perfectly irrefutable, renders itself perfectly useless.
3) Engineers stuck to Newton even after Einstein & Plank, not because they
were dogmatic, but because they were pragmatic.
4) If
you can not draw a line between two opposing notions like black & white,
Then draw two lines to demarcate the
grey zone.
5) Function of yellow light in traffic signals, is to draw you enough further
such that you ‘just’ get in the square & get caught, when it has ‘just’
gone red.
6) True education is an opportunity to go
wrong without having to pay the price
of going
wrong.(Say simulated pilot seat)
7) Remedy for utilitarianism is certainly not futilitarianism.
8) ‘Missed call’ is a misnomer because the call does hit; what is actually
missed is the
metering by the company.
1] I do not believe in Astrology, but for the time being let me side them. The argument can be refuted as: Astrology predicts what can happen if the affected "Agents" do not Induce actions in the external World. Predictions of scientists come true because they are for the "Objects" which do not induce processes in the environment.
ReplyDelete4] Black and white are only end milestones in the continuum of things. But these are not the only ones there are many in between which can be recognised as mile stones. It is only stubborn argumentative people who keep on arguing on the exact locations of milestones, creating friction but no light!
8] The missed calls are only from wives.
