Others-First Paradox

In the arrow paradox, Zeno states that for motion to occur, an object must change the position which it occupies. He gives an example of an arrow in flight. He states that in any one (duration-less) instant of time, the arrow is neither moving to where it is, nor to where it is not.15 It cannot move to where it is not, because no time elapses for it to move there; it cannot move to where it is, because it is already there. In other words, at every instant of time there is no motion occurring. If everything is motionless at every instant, and time is entirely composed of instants, then motion is impossible.

Whereas the first two others-first paradoxes divide space, this paradox starts by dividing time—and not into segments, but into points.

Water each other's plants

1. To maintain an office-relationship between adjacent plant-owners who water each other's plants in the absence of one or the other.

2. By extension, to keep each other company.

"I think they had a plant-relationship back in meat space."
"What do you mean?"
"They used to water each other's plants back when we were in the office."
"Oh, like kept each other company?"
"Yeah; but they literally watered each other's plants, too."

Other People

Meg, I don't have to serve other people. I'm not a servant. YOU... On the otherhand, are NOT TELLING THE TRUTH. "A version of the truth" (that still divorces me from the credit I deserve) is not "If I don't tell the truth my soul is going to burn forever."

Hym "Prosperity gospel much? It's an non-sequitur to say that unless I do things for other people without credit or money I only care about myself. You're fabricating reasons to not pay me and that on no way detracts from the fact that you're just not doing the incest cult. You're not doing it AT ALL. You expect ME to do it in spite of that fact and if I don't I don't get rights? Sounds like I was right about it being and inverted Jewish protection racket, huh?"

It doesn't matter what other people think

All that matters is what I think. So, I'm going to get people think what I think and then... By making shit up. I spoke to the creature!

Hym " It doesn't matter what other people think' is probably the most solipsistic thought you can have. I need a theory name for my solipsism thing... OH! Religious blight theory. That'll be what it's called. Until they think you're a pedophile. Until they think they can get away with robbing you. Until they murder your kids. And then that will be the only then that matters."

other-laws

classification of relationships that cannot be defined by traditional family titles or by in-law(s) -- relationships usually evolve through divorce, common-law marriage or couples who have children together but never marry

When Amy, the wife of Kate's ex-husband, wrote an article about Beth, Kate's current husband's ex-wife, some of their other-laws were confounded to realize that Amy and Beth's ships had not only passed; they had collided!
