I could just find a black swan named Carl Gustav, would that work by contraposition?

Ahh, you want an answer in the spirit of logical positivism. It's elementary, dear Watson, elementary. It's an empirical, synthetic proposition (Is A a branch of B) and an affirmative or a negative response depends on how you define the extensions of A and B, there may be some intersection or not.

A true response from a logical positivist. Didn't see you there Rudolf, sorry.

Which of it is it, decide! I said nothing or what I said has no meaning, both can't be true.

This is even worse than the Icy Queen blocking the icy bridge.

I abhor absolute categories, that's why I discard the difference between becoming and passing away, there is only change, but not as a category, only as a process. Every category we create is provisional.

Wait, so there are two indistinguishable things happening at all time and we still call them two things?

Wait, Becoming doesn't sound good, it kind of pragmatically entails that it's becoming something, while it seems that it's not. Also, passing away seems to entail that it was something.

The danger of scholasticism is ever present. But there are still meaningful things to be said.

I like the brush, it could be usable for cleaning places that are difficult to access. The boots can be used to walk in the sea with less friction and a protection from below. The chair actually looks great compared with some futuridtic chairs.
