minus-square@mosiacmango@lemm.eelinkfedilink4•edit-27 months agoAre you earnestly saying sound only exists if someone hears it? A sound, also known as “air vibrations” to some, exists independently of a listener. It does not “become sound” only if someone hears it.
minus-square@mosiacmango@lemm.eelinkfedilink2•edit-27 months agoThis isn’t philosophy, It’s wankery. Sound is a matter of Newtonian physics, which do not in any way care about linguistics or perception. The universe is not so concerned with our perspective that it changes itself to suit us.
