Nonexistent Objects & Imaginary Worlds: Crash Course Philosophy #29

40 thoughts on “Nonexistent Objects & Imaginary Worlds: Crash Course Philosophy #29”

1. Love the way Hank said "There's also no wizards"

2. Ghost zombies wouldn't exist. You'd see your zombie as you turned into a ghost because zombies are just your mindless body doing primitive actions to continue living but ghosts are pertaining to your spirit. Since ghosts have no spirit, your body would become a zombie while your spirit becomes a ghost

3. That's how we do engineering. In 1960 there was no such thing as a moon rocket. Then we had a universe of discourse in which engineers debated how a moon rocket might be made. We could debate it while staying inside the laws of physics. Then we went to the moon.

4. If I had decided to just start with this video instead of watching them in order, would it be more or less entertaining when he randomly said "bananas are chom choms" at the end?

5. “Of course it is happening inside your head, Harry, but why on earth should that mean that it is not real?”-Albus Dumbledore

6. Before this video, I had never realized that talking about the future is in its own way, an imaginary world. It hasnt happened yet, and it might not even happen because we never know what will happen.

7. Yes, a person could become both a zombie and a ghost. A zombie is just a reanimated corpse, whereas the ghost is what includes the soul.

8. So what if our Existence is God's Absistence?

9. I thought Santa was real?

10. The narrators of this channel speak way too fast.

11. not even google heard of the word absist or absistence.

12. Are concepts of history imaginary things?

13. Who said banana?!! We must find those heretics purify them by sinking their chom choms into chocolate by force

14. The square root of negative one

15. I’m sorry it’s actually 221B

16. Chom choms are Chom choms

17. Related to straw man?

18. Square root of negative one?

19. In my universe Obama is still president!

20. When I was a child, I used to wander around my neighborhood on my free time talking with friends and playing with my toys as my mother watched christian brodecast on the television. Life was simple, and we were both happy. Until the day my mother heard a voice from a chom chom:
    – Your son has not predicated the word, he needs to be safed-
    And so we start going to parks talking people about chom choms every now and then. And like this, it was over.

21. And my boy Bertie makes a third appearance.

22. Sigh… Obama…

23. If there were two kings of France, the statement saying that king of France is bald – would be true or false? Would be the truth dependent on the number of bald kings of France?

    Assume that there are two kings of France and one of them is bald. Assume also that people in France are divided into two fractions: first fraction recognizes only the bald king as the true king, second one – claims the reverse. In this case, the proposition "the present king is bald" can have different meaning than the sentence contents would suggest 🙂

24. Meinongs jungle=fantasy land of southpark

25. HARRY POTTER IS NOT FICTIONAL STOP TRYING TO DESTROY MY LIFE

26. I'm a wizard :/

27. harry potter's best friends is NOT DRACO!
    But i mean…. You're not fully wrong, deku and bakugo are basically best friends but they fight over everything every day

28. Zombie ghost?

    A Zhost?
    A Ghombie?

29. Gotta love anime

30. guy: "Draco and Harry are best friends"
    me: "really i didn't know that"

31. wouldn’t each universe of discourse have categories though? like even though the universe of discourse of wizards exists, it still exists within the universe of discourse of the supernatural? what would you call that?

32. Listen! It's the faint hooting and hollering of Drary shippers in the distance!

33. What are bananas?

34. When you say that the statement, "the present king of France is bald" is false, it kind of feels like you're implying the present king of France is not bald, and thus that there is a present king of France. Is it okay to say a statement is false because it has a false unstated premise or is there another way to get that point across?

35. Lol at work and I've listened to every episode in order all day… The reoccurrence of chom choms every episode after it's debut makes me very happy xD

36. 221B Baker Street. How do you mess that up?

37. Learn,live,love

38. 6:20 how can you expect me to accept that carrying the ball in your hand in football is true, perhaps only in the absurd Meinong's world (or US) but certainly not in the real universe.

39. I know this all feels ridiculous and useless but this concept is very heavily applied and debated in the Highest Halls of Physics including the concepts of Space and Time.

40. language and ontology and no mention of the Lord of the Rings, nor a mention of Tolkien?
