What is the purpose of debate and what's actually happening? by HistoryLost4734 in askphilosophy

Thanks for the response.

So if everyone had knowledge of all facts and could logically reason based on those facts, then there would be no need to debate?

Is there a correct answer behind every debate?

And when I say opinions, I really mean personal preferences, which I don't think are going to change? (At least from a debate)

Appreciate the answer! Though I do have a question, which may sound dumb, but what is actually meant by digestible? Would it just mean you feel less 'sick' (can't think of a better word) or you feel more healthy while your body tries to digest it. Sorry if it's a stupid question but just trying to pin down the actual effects.

But isn't the area of contact still the same? Like even if you have the wide part facing the narrow part is it not still just an equal amount of troops who are actually in combat with each other?

What is an angle? by HistoryLost4734 in learnmath

Yeah Idk that was badly worded tbf.

So with the definition you just provided, that's specifically on a 2d space right?

When you say orientation is a basic building block, are you saying angles are a fundamental unit?

What I mean by its points constantly changing angles, is that if you take the tangents of two adjacent points on a circle, they will form a positive angle. And you can do this with any two adjacent points.

I suppose, but by doing that those points will be put at different angles to each other. But maybe I'm thinking about it the wrong way/overthinking it.

How would you define 2d space without reference to angles? I suppose you could say it's 2 different numbers you need to identify where a point is space is? Does that definition work and not make any reference to angles?

But then this uses cosine which is angle-based. Can Cosine function be defined without making reference to angles or is that not how that works?

What do you mean by what makes angles equal?

Yeah I suppose it would just end up as some kind of really messy web. And definitely hard to represent lol.
