      Perhaps I should seek a sponsorship with all of the mentions this thread has necessitated. Unfortunately I’m not currently on the payroll (or formerly for that matter, lol).

        I don’t think you have the cognitive requirements to understand why your dictionary definitions are completely irrelevant here

          I’m always astonished when there’s a discussion about a topic so deep that it’s been hotly debated by philosophers for centuries and someone drops in the dictionary definition thinking they solved the whole discourse with a one-liner from the dictionary.

          Words have meanings dog

          You can’t just say a label applies to something, despite the meaning of that label.
