What's the point of Zen koans?

Austin Hayes66 said:Oh boy, give me a break... we're trying to be Solvay Conference intellectuals here, not Caligula... 🤣🤣🤣👍

But that applies strictly to Douglas Brown4, not to the spiritualists.😬 😁

Douglas Brown4 said:You're talking nonsense.
Using "infinitesimally small" doesn't mean what you think it means in this context.
Here is the issue:
If you have a certain property and its exact OPPOSITE, those properties cancel each other out. However, the cardinal number of a set containing both those properties is still 2. Therefore, you can't claim that 2 (the cardinal number) equals 0 (the product of those two interacting properties).

I am referring specifically to the street crossing example mentioned above.🙄

Thanks for the compliment. 😘

Alright. But what does the Zeno paradox—the reverse version, anyway—actually have to do with those 2=0 geese?

Austin Hayes66 said:exactly why... 😂😂😂😂😂

Listen. The last time I saw Anna was somewhere around 1993.

well, the goose just kept shrinking like Diogenes... 😍👍

A little Zeno wisdom for Douglas Brown4:
Humpty Dumpty Had a Great fall ; All The King ’ S horses and All The King ’ S men , Couldn ’ t put Humpty Dumpty together again !
Humpty Dumpty Had a Great fall ; All The King ’ S horses and All The King ’ S men , Couldn ’ t put Humpty Dumpty together again !
All the King’s horses and all the King’s men,
Couldn’t put Humpty Dumpty together again! 😍🤣🤣🤣

Humpty Dumpty was a Big Fat egg He was playing The wall and then He Brok his leg Tossed IT out The window 3 minutes hot hit The Rastaman He Said. Then he ended up falling right into the lap of that mountain goat goddess and spent some time cruising along with her in that umbrella ship... 👍

Douglas Brown4 & Alex before the crash... 😍🤣🤣

Austin Hayes66 said:well, the goose just kept shrinking like Diogenes... 😍👍

Yeah. I know one that shrank when it got close to me. But once it moved away, it grew larger than a cow. Or maybe it turned into a cow, I guess I don't really know anymore.
Maybe it's that Solv et coagula thing, or coagula et Solv (condense and dilute).

I glanced out the window and spotted that bald head of his
I bolted to the fridge and grabbed an egg
Took aim through my sights, seeing nothing but skin where hair should be
Let the shot fly and caught him completely off guard
Saw The convertible driving by
Loaded up The slingshot and let One fly
He went for his to find He didn't have One put Him in Check correct with my egg gun The egg
The egg, a simple sign of life...
Get inside your home and deal with your own business
I pulled out the gear and he thought I was just kidding
The trigger i pulled his faca The yoke Reached in his pocket took All his cash Left my man standing with an egg moustache Suckers They Come a dim a dozen and When i say dozen you know What I'm talking about Humpty Dumpty was a Big Fat egg He was playing The wall and then He Brok his leg Tossed IT out The window 3 minutes hot hit The Rastaman He Said

I reached right into his pocket and emptied it...
Left the guy standing there with an egg moustache...
Suckers, they’re a dime a dozen
And you know exactly what I mean when I say a dozen...
Humpty Dumpty was just a massive egg
He was messing around near the wall
Then he went and broke his leg...
Threw it out the window three minutes later...
Hit the Rastaman and he started shouting...
Does the chicken come before the egg? It's the old question...
egged The chicken then i ate his leg Riding The trains in between Cars When i pull out The station
Just riding the subway between cars...
Once I step off at the station, you're going to regret it...
Driving past...
Egg attacks are hitting L.A. hard lately...
"Man, they just grabbed my little cousin..."
Sometimes it's hard-boiled, sometimes it's runny...
It comes from a chicken, not some rabbit, you idiot...
People think this is funny, but it isn't...
My name is Yauch and I'm laying down the law...
*Now I'm stuck in a cell*, but honestly, I couldn't care less...
That's when I started catching people out in the open...
All of us decked out in black, creeping up from behind...
WE Began to attack The eggs did crack on Haze's Back biti i am down with The program Green eggs and Ham Yosemite biti Come Halloween you know i Come strapped i throw IT AT
Sam I am totally on board with this...
Green eggs and ham Yosemite Sam...
When Halloween rolls around, you can bet I'll be armed...
I'll toss it at any sucker, K-pop style...
You messed up thinking you could judge a man by his race...
You're going to spend your whole life looking foolish...
You wake up one morning feeling something is off...
Look up, and there's egg dripping from the ceiling...
Families, throwing rocks at businessmen...
I'll take on anyone if I've got an egg in my hand...
It's not like the crack you'd find in a pipe...
But more like a crack on your forehead, so take this towel and wipe it off...

🤣🤣🤣🤣

Three quarks for Master Mark!
I suppose he doesn't have much of a bark
And I guess whatever he has isn't quite on target

Paul Campbell3 said:Well, there it is, 🙂 😉

It looks like you're in great shape.
Best regards!

So, where is the most ordinary bottle?

Well done!

electricdrifter68 said:Well done!

right at him/you! 😬👍

Douglas Brown4 said:Maybe we’re just being a little envious, huh? You don't really need any of that. I guess you should just focus on Q. It's probably best to celebrate the win before the war is even over. He hasn't even replied to you yet.

If you've managed to catch the ego of this total clown, why on earth would you assume everyone else is acting the same way? I honestly didn't even notice that he had responded. In fact, I haven't the slightest clue where he even is. Honestly, I'm too busy chasing after some geese to keep track of such things.

what exactly is in good shape? your girl? 👍😬🤣🤣

Of course not... don't let some amateur pundit get under your skin, you aren't Zeno.
Compared to that goose, you're basically Zeno, yeah... 👍👍
And since he's just a bottle to you, stop trying to have a conversation with a damn bottle... 🤣🤣

But really, what can I even say to you when you clearly have all the answers already? Oops, looks like I've spilled my drink!
