a sociologist misses class in the woods. if there's no one around to post on epicmafia, does anyone read it?

The extreme argument is a result of you saying that only the listener holds the power to validate [a] word. Science, Logic and Math indicate that if you can find one solution to disprove a theory or equation, it results in not fitting the set. In these cases the speaker's power is just as great if not greater than the listener's. Obviously it's a reciprocal relationship and is intended to be so, but the "tree" falling still makes a sound in any realistic viewpoint.
This is not gravity no matter how you try to take an extreme argument and compare it. In this case it is the weight and meaning of a word which is something humans have given it. Like laughter, the solution will be infectious.
And this here is the benefit of more than a rudimentary education and general IQ.
Skepticism being the voice of reason just shows how idiotic this topic was to begin with.

That depends on your definition of racism.

There will still be a force that pulls objects to the Earth regardless of your beliefs in gravity. There will equally be racism regardless of whether or not a Black man lets the "n word" affect him. That is my only point here.
I am too far out of high school to consider my major for when I leave high school. Some may say that is too late. Apparently, you disagree. A bold strategy.
In the case of words which are a random composition of letters then yes, only through validation are words given their meaning. If I do not validate the n word meaning a derogatory slur, then it no longer has that meaning. In the end the n word means nothing if I do not allow it to hold that meaning.
My point was that you said this concept was an absolute truth. If you polarize that statement, then only outside validation can allow you to see your own strengths as the speaker. —including positive meaning.
Skept, the weight of the word is only validated through the listener giving it that weight. From now on I declare Qrich is the new substitute for the n word. If enough people on epicmafia use it as such it receives validation through the listener. Don't be asinine.
Shame you allow racism to hold so much meaning in your life. Equality will never happen as long as "enlightened" people like qrich give it so much weight.

That's essentially saying that something doesn't have ANY value unless someone else validates it.
It is now my duty to neg you whenever you plus your own posts. Now then, whatever point you try to make here, only the speaker and the listener allow it to hold meaning. If only the speaker allows it to hold meaning then it has lost all meaning. A cup with no bottom will never be full no matter how much you pour into it. It's a truth no matter where you go. What exactly is your argument again?
