an analytical question

[cacian]

which came first the problem or the solution?

[Jack of Hearts]

There are no problems, only solutions.

I am reading Laura Day's How To Rule The World From Your Couch which is a book on how to develop one's intuition. I think she would say that the question, "problem", comes first and then the solution and the more specific the question is the better will the solution be.

Although that might be an obvious answer, probably one I would have given myself without thinking much on the topic, she does have an interest in the ordering of this: pose the specific question, put the question aside so one's conscious thinking does not get in the way, then wait for a solution from the subconscious.

ok...I'm trying to process that...could you give me more to go on?

Haha.. Ok Bien..I was just philosophising.
normal means naturally occuring without the help a human source.
with no outside human/machinery interferences nature goes into a cycle of creationism.
consdier the sun, it rises and sets naturally without our imput, the rain and the seasons and so on.
creationism is a metabolic cyclic system of actions that solely relies on nature and nature alone to create and procreate.
normality suggest naturity without antecedent. It does not need me to tell it what to do.
Humans should follow suite.

With all due respect I don't think that is what normal means.

Yeah, I'm not sure what is meant up there either with words like normality, naturity (though underlined in red here, it seems to be a word) and creationism in the way they are being used. Several big words but no solid meaning.

What do you mean by a solid meaning?
Here is how I see these words
normality, naturity and creationism are all positive forces that have a sensical forward drive.
All three put together and they all exhume in an energy force that suggests eternity.


With all due respect I don't think that is what normal means.

The way I see it is this:
In order for me to define anything, word, a concept such as normal I will need to compare it and 'solliloquise' it along side another word and in this case for me it has to be nature/naturity.
One needs to counterbalance one alongside the other in order to get the full effect of what an idea is.

How do you define normal/normality?

Why wouldn't you just use the dictionary definition?

[cacian]

Why wouldn't you just use the dictionary definition?

Because I already know it.
I also like to think outside the dictionary because words can mean more then just their definitions when in contact with other words.

I also like to think outside the dictionary because words can mean more then just their definitions when in contact with other words.I think my English is failing me again as I am not sure what your definition of "normal" means; however, using our own definitions, rather than commonly agreed ones provided in dictionaries, might prove a little problematic as it will be dependent upon your own perception, which is, quite likely, will not be the same as other people's. Hence, when you use the word "normal" in your communications you will hope that it carries out the meaning you give it while the rest of us will understand it in the way we perceive it.

Well I'm pretty sure we all have a grasp of the word "normal." Seeing "creationism" just brings to mind the debate of God and evolution, so that's confusing. I don't think I had ever seen the word "naturity" before, but saw it had a definition.

You can see how one could be confused.

Hi
I made up the word ' naturity' there and thne by taking thwe word nature and adding a Y to it.
In the same as way normal would go into normality.

It seemed a normal way of doing it?
or
It seemed a natural way of doing it ?

Haha...I enjoyed reading this thank you!
and yes what a welcome it is to find one's self amongst 'confusion city' far from 'normality' LOL

Who's definition should be used for "enjoyed"?
