Yes it does, unless we say that nothing exists outside our human culture.
Does the speed of light exist outside of our human culture?
Does the E=mc^2 exist outside of our human culture?
If Chimps start building air-planes will they invent their own, different pi?
Will the Bernoulli's laws be the same for them?

What do *you* mean by "Truthful" (with a capital T ?!).
You don't believe in truth. Richard, when you get to Level-3
you will see that "truthful" is a distinction meme!
>They are all approximations.
Approximations of WHAT?
TT maybe? You have just killed it, remember?

No wonder she couldn't stand a person infected with L3HV.
Did you call her a chimp too?
I enjoy the joke mode, Richard.
Is this the only mode you can talk about what we believe in?
>>That we *can* know it better and better.

>Absolutely.
How can we talk about knowing the world "better" if we don't believe
in it's consistency? How do you define "Absolutely"?

Congratulations. You have won the contest.
He was "wrong", eh?
How do you define "wrong" after murdering TT?

I thought you knew that...
