That's a catchy tune! I think we may disagree on the last bit but as long as what ever is designated is so designated independently of any description

I tend to agree with you and joking made up "frigid designator" to indicate that we speakers can "freeze" the referent in place for modal evaluations (by stipulation as Kripke intended) but to emphasize that it is not something that you can have without the act of a speaker

The Thankful Every once in a while I get an idea for a short story. Usually they pop in and out rather quickly and I just let them go but I recently decided to jot them down when they come. I don't think I'm a great writer, and definitely not a great story teller, but it is fun to write badly in another genre.

Recently I met someone sort-of famous who, after talking with me a bit, realized that they had used my Intro Philosophy videos on YouTube "to get through" their philosophy class when they were in college and then "never thought about it again" and I'm like...is that supposed to be a compliment?

Submitting my paper to a journal Iโ€™ve reviewed for a few times because I absolutely love getting rejected by journals that respect my work enough to request reviews but not enough to publish me. Itโ€™s a form of self-hate at this point.

Is this cheese grater conscious? Many users feel they're talking to a real person. Scientists say it's time to consider whether they're onto something.
