I had to read it like 5 times and yeah I see what he’s saying but I don’t see how people can think that’s true

I think he’s a pretty introspective deep person and really uses hypotheticals to view the outside world

I’m just not interested in looking at the world that way

I mean he tries to say a business is a figment of our imagination

but it has strong explnatory power

Or at least the identity of the business

I think it had terrible explanatory power because I can barley understand it

You have to keep looking beyond things

Maybe one day in voice chat you can try and explain it to me

I’d much rather hear you talk about it then some guy that calls human “sapiens” instead of just calling them humans or people

this anthropological method of evaluation is what lets anthropologiest make the connections and predictions they do.

He is a historian, and has studied history. and he is analyzing the organization of human social and cultural relations, institutions, social conflicts, etc.

Just like any scientist who study chimp behavior he is using the scientifc name

He doesn’t have to though

i dont understand why this is an issue

It was either Richard Feynman or Einstein that said if you can’t explain you’re idea simply then you don’t understand what you’re talking about

bro lmfao

It’s just something that bothers me. Didn’t mean to vent lol

But yeah I guess it’s to complicated of an idea for me to grasp

That is a simple explination

But there’s no proof behind it

It’s just him saying it

Religion is based around god justice is based around merit

yea this is not a claim in reality

i cannot test the concept of amyth

or justice

I have no physical evidance of myths or absterct concepts

Obviously and that’s why I think it’s a weak idea

Concepts

First published Mon Nov 7, 2005; substantive revision Mon Jun 17, 2019

Concepts are the building blocks of thoughts. Consequently, they are crucial to such psychological processes as categorization, inference, memory, learning, and decision-making.

@T2the2ndpowr I think this will help understand what I'm saying. Justice is a concept, and anthropologically we can catagotize it within the concept myths.

This is the language, that makes anthropological conversations possible.

I mean yeah that is true. Laws and justice are most definetley a concept i think everyone agrees with that. But saying that justice is some myth in the same sense that religion is is just crazy

I mean it's not real... Right? It's fictcious.. so myth is the superordinate concept of Justice. Or in other words justice is subordinate to myth.

And all of these fall under the concept, of concepts. And this is where there is much debate over what are concepts to begin with.

From Aristotle to Kant and Wittgenstein

There are not things that need evidence

A myth as a consept is that which is fictcious and only exists in human minds.

That is simply it's def there is no evidence or proff necessary

@ThePangburn this is where you and I last spoke about the ability to know things with certainty. This would be indicitive of that.

You might find prototype theory interesting https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prototype_theory?wprov=sfla1

It analyzes concepts psychologically
