The essence of reality is in the difference between "ser" and "estar".
philosophy isn't real, your life is a lie, everything you've ever known and loved is a social construct made up at some point to appease the human brains insatiable desire for structure.
And yet, philosophers still exist for some reason. Curious.
I too hear the call of the void, brother.
Become a soulist
the call of the void is the philosophers bedding.
All form is interpretation.
So is interpretation just physics? Like, mass and inertia?
interpretation would be a linguistic concept. Specifically regarding the structuring of sentences in a language. Unless we're referring to the physical act of conceptualizing a real concept, which then again, falls back onto linguistic roots.
Math, physics, and science, would all be a fundamental existence of the universe, our construct of that system in the universe is merely our common interpretation of how to conceptualize and explain that thing.
You place one stick on the ground, you have one stick on the ground, you place two sticks on the ground, and you have two sticks on the ground. This sentence is merely a conceptualized representation of the concept that things are static, and can be conjoined into bodies.
It nature this can be seen at the atomic level, or on a beach of sand for instance. Though the atomic model we have, is yet another interpretation of something.
Second language teachers are all a little crazy.
My German teacher was nuts, but mostly in a fun or benign way. She genuinely cared for her students, though, and there were a lot of lessons that had nothing to do with language skills at all.
My high school French teacher split in the middle of a semester to join the Bagwan Shree Rajneesh cult in 1984, so yeah.
I remember an argument between the spanish and french kids. the french kids were saying the spanish teachers were the most insane. The french kids the opposite.
It was quite heated.
They all looked at me and my other friend that was also in german looking for a tie breaker. "I don't know what your talking about. [The single German Teacher] is definitely the craziest." it was a point of pride. they were quite taken aback. She had been caught on the wrong side of the Berlin Wall and took several weeks out of the year to talk about both the holocaust and east germany and how awful they were.
and it wasn't the sugar coated 'murica-great' oorahrah that was history class.
Really and truly though, it's physics.
actually physics is just applied math. and in fact, it is actually philosophy. which is applied language. so the spanish teacher is right.
And beginners french!
Physics, chemistry, biology, neuroscience, whatever other physical sciences are all the same thing when you get down to it, just a different applications of it for describing different things...
No it's all bits and bytes all the way down.

Unironically, language dictates how we think.
Wasn't that disproven
It was. And it is called Sapir–Whorf hypothesis.
So if you're bilingual or speak more languages you have to cast a vote every time you make a decision?
What am I having for dinner?
Hot dog - screams your English speaking part
¡Tacos! - says the brain from your mother's side
No, curry! - comes your dad's side of the brain
Gagh, petahq - who knew? Seems like you're 5% Klingon
Omelette au fromage - that's the part that stayed on Reddit for too long

Spanish is just the bastard child of Latin.
Latin is the bastard child of Proto-Italic
Proto-Italic? Well that's just someone's amateurish, slanted opinion.
It's bastard children all the way down.
...and Arab
The entire universe is beige
(Says a man facing a beige wall)
Essence of Reality? Tan cierto.
I never realized this but it seems logical. I grew up in a French speaking area of Canada, English is the second language, but the provincial TV was broadcasting Spanish lessons. From the earliest moment that I can remember watching TV, there was Spanish lessons on it.
