It probably isn’t since I don’t think honorblades are technically live, but it would certainly be interesting

Come on, don’t be lazy (although I wouldn’t object to taking a look) 2330

Dunno if this counts… skip me if it doesn’t… but Szeth’s honorblade seems to fit all the above criteria

Hey, look at that cute stoat! *points at drowning creature in the water* Are you ok?

Describe yourself in one word A bottomless pit of lava, I guess? What a weird question

Lift?

It's fine Vin?

Well, there's only one character I know that is plural women... is it Shallan?

2323 *sigh* This is going to take a while.

Our foe must be thwarted right here and now

Let it roll - Lewis Capaldi

So am I. It’s still kinda weird .

Guys... Lift is like 13...

Correct!! That was too obvious, wasn't it?

Yay! I guess I go now? Hint 1: This character is not of the human species.

ReLuur!

Straight ahead! That is who we’re fighting…

Ooh! Put me in Panama City. That should be generic enough…

Not perfect, but some I came up with quickly: The Pretender Thoughts of mine And one that is actually symmetrical, albeit a little morbid

A singular MOLECULE of water is not wet, as it is the smallest unit of water you can get. A DROP, however, is composed of roughly 1.67 x 10^21 molecules (yes, I just looked it up). Of these, only the ones on the facing outward would not be completely covered by water. The result of this is that a drop of water is indeed wet, but it's SURFACE - the part facing out that is not covered by other water - is not.

Why can't water be covered by other water? Is the water at the bottom of a cup not covered by the water on top of it?

Sort of, but not really. Water molecules don't actually physically bond to other things to make them wet (since that would alter their chemical makeup). Additionally, I would argue that a water molecule can make a water molecule wet through direct contact (or whatever would pass for direct contact at this scale, since molecules don't actually ever tough. Maybe nothing is ever really wet!!) Yes... although I wouldn't use the word "sticking". The reason water can make things wet so easily is that it is a liquid, meaning it's molecules move around very loosely. And don't stay in the same place, like with a solid. When water seems to stick to something, like a blanket, it is because the blanket is hollow enough for water molecules to get in somewhere where gravity won't pull them out (I think, I might be wrong on this one).

I understand what you're saying, but truth by definition is an infinitely large concept that is impossible to completely comprehend with a human brain. So, what would you define as truth? Only concrete things? I'm sure we can all agree that sand is "truth", since it exists. But is love truth? What about liberty? Is democracy truth? Most people will probably agree that a statement such as "blood is red" is truth. But what about someone who is raised in a society where the sound "blood" represents "yellow". Is language truth? Or is it simply a lie we all agree on? Does it matter? Does what someone believes in count as truth? Many things people believe are contradicted by the laws of physics. But what about the abstract? Where is the line drawn? Clearly, truth is more subjective than you think. Just some food for thought. (Also, I never said philosophy WAS truth [although I would argue that the concept of philosophy is, while individual philosophies may not be] only that it was the result of a search for truth) Edit: Realized I wrote ""blood" represents "yellow"" when I meant to say ""red" represents "yellow"", but I'll leave it since it still applies.

I believe philosophy is the study of human perception of reality. Or, not really the study, but rather the attempts we make to comprehend reality and keep on living. TwinStorm said philosophy is the study of truth, and I think that is accurate, in a way. Philosophy, however, is not the study of ALL truth. It is rather the search each of us make for a truth that we can believe in. In this way, philosophy is very similar to religion (not saying philosophy as a whole is like religion, just that they share this aspect). We NEED philosophy to help us understand the world. Without philosophy, what is the reason to live if we will all die? What is the point in creating if all will be destroyed? What is the point of truth, when happiness can be more easily attained through lies? Does free will even exist, if every action is a consequence of all that came before? Returning to ɴɪɢʜʈ's original controversial statement, I wouldn't say grammatical arguments are necessarily philosophical (although they can be), although they do have a lot to do with individual interpretation, a limitation of language (which is a whole other debate). Returning to the original argument: Water is not inherently wet (a molecule of water is not saturated with itself), but it can be if it is contact with other water.

Just stumbled upon this thread, and I would like to pitch in what I think will be an unpopular opinion. My favorite SA book is undeniably Oathbringer, and it has (in my opinion) the best character growth I have ever read in a book. That said, the Cosmere book that holds up the best for me (that I've read) is the Well of Ascension. I found it consistently enjoyable and there where no parts that I felt dragged the story down. It also had the best twist at the end.
