Arendts comment on answer-less questions speaks to Judaism, where the question itself is sacred, the debate is more important than the resolution. Although I suppose Wittgenstein would contend, an answer-less question is not a question at all, it’s the system of expression, perhaps thought that creates man’s unsolvable problems. As godels theorem shows, there is no complete set of mathematical axioms, the same would apply to the question game we play, it’s like a glitch in the system of inquiry.
Here's my question for Reyna Singh: How does it happen that an obviously educated, intelligent, informed person like you considers it unnecessary to consistently utilize the apostrophe in written English? I don't think I'm being overly pedantic here, as appropriate apostrophe usage IS a matter of some grammatical importance, no matter how hurried and sloppy even highly educated writers have become in recent decades. I could also take exception to your lack of proper capitalization at times, but I don't want to appear overly finicky. No need for you to answer, it's the question itself that is sacred, at least in the Judaic tradition.
@@tunneling-nanotubes I'm thrilled YOU correctly made the minimal but necessary effort above to write "its" rather than "it's!" Like it or not, the appearance of things is important, especially in formal written communication. And first impressions matter, particularly in highly visual cultures like the UK's and the USA's. As for me, just call me "Tom PETTY," Hardee har har! P.S. There's a significant and qualitative difference between making Kitty's dinner appealing and commenting on the exalted theorems of Wittgenstein... I hope!
@@ricardocima Then one should increase one's mastery of the language, which in this case is English. And try to do better, just as I do when I attempt to write (or speak) in German, Dutch, French, Spanish, Portuguese. Lowered expectations should not be an acceptable option, neither for me nor for you, nor for anyone. We do nobody any favors worrying overmuch about a person's possibly delicate sensibilities. This is, after all, an online academy of sorts, is it not? It appears to be just that, judging from the apparent erudition of its participants. If you have any criticisms of my diction, style, syntax, overall grammatical competence, I want you to tell me, so I can make improvements. Or shud my ocasional misspelings ALSO get a free pas? And what about punctuation doesn't it matter By the way, it's "English," not "english."
Fabulous, thank you, as always!
thank you so much !!
This is so great! Could you put out the rest of the talk?

@@oswaldullman2145 What if english is not the person's first language? Would you make the effort to speak in their language, instead?

This seems to end abruptly, is it incomplete?
Lack a sentence before 3m48 "Plato thinks it's absurd to ascribe an Idea to them". This relate to ugly or trivial things.
