The map–territory relation is the relationship between an object and a representation of that object, as in the relation between a geographical territory and a map of it. Mistaking the map for the territory is a logical fallacy that occurs when someone confuses the semantics of a term with what it represents. Polish-American scientist and philosopher Alfred Korzybski remarked that "the map is not the territory" and that "the word is not the thing", encapsulating his view that an abstraction derived from something, or a reaction to it, is not the thing itself.

Philosopher David Schmidtz addresses the theme of accuracy in Elements of Justice (2006), highlighting how overly detailed models can become impractical, a problem also known as Bonini's paradox. Poet Paul Valéry summarized this idea: "Everything simple is false. Everything which is complex is unusable."

I have opened a community about book covers at !bookcovers@sh.itjust.works. It is a community for asking questions and chatting about book covers, as well as posting images of the book covers themselves.

Main community rules include "links to online bookstores are prohibited in principle" and "translations must include the author and title of the original work."

As I am a Japanese speaker who is not very good at English, I use translation software to view and manage the community. Please keep this in mind when using this community.

「マンガ肉」 Manga meat illustration (from Wikipedia)

This is what you would call "Manga Meat" in English, an iconic piece of meat on the bone that often appears in anime, manga, games, and other works in Japanese subculture.

I would love to bite into this hearty meat like the cartoon characters someday.

“Cardboard Cooler” with cooling function using frozen plastic bottles.

I thought it was ridiculous to make your own air conditioner out of cheap materials, but apparently it's actually quite cool.

However, the author of the article says that “the wind smells a little like metal.”

The article is in Japanese, but for details, please refer to the link below.

!experimentalfilm@sh.itjust.works

I just created the Lemmy community for experimental film. Feel free to post anything, including links to experimental films, chatting, and asking questions, as long as the topic is experimental film.

However, please be sure to mark any work that may cause epileptic seizures, such as flashing, as NSFW.

This is my first time moderating a forum, including Lemmy.

As I am not an English speaker, I use translation software to post and view content, so I hope you will be kind enough to understand this.

Yes. I am a feminist, though I am skeptical.

Some feminists argue(Article in Japanese) that the gender equality brought about by feminism also liberates men from the suffering unique to them.

I take a similar stance, believing that the 'gender equality' brought about by male feminism, which seeks happiness for men, also liberates women from the suffering unique to them. In some ways, I am a reactionary feminist.

Previously, I was a male feminist with old-fashioned thinking, striving to eliminate only women's suffering, not men's.

However, I changed my mind after the Japanese government, where I live, adopted a policy of allocating "female admission quotas" at prestigious universities, including national universities, as part of its affirmative action program, modeled on America's racial admission quotas.

Even back when I supported traditional feminism, I was critical of the current state of university education in Japan, where there are public women's universities but no public men's universities. I also believe that expanding these quotas to general universities would violate the Constitution, which proclaims gender equality. I cannot trust traditional Japanese feminism, which supports the unconstitutional status quo, and that is why I have become the skeptical feminist I mentioned earlier.

I'm not an Anglophone, so I apologize if the grammar in this comment is incorrect.

This comment uses Google Translate.

This playlist is not my work, so I cannot include songs mentioned in the comments.

To address this issue, I created a playlist that includes two songs I already know and songs recommended in the comments.

I've divided the songs into two themes: "Frog Croaking" and "Frog Themes."

To avoid confusion about the playlist's themes, I've reorganized them into two playlists: one for songs that fit the "Frog Croaking" theme and one for the newly released "Frog Names."

Songs with Frog Names or Themes https://open.spotify.com/playlist/4fKUVgQAiKrrL9lpCcTOz0?pt=427b78f775dfdcb9e0304d18a41f5461

Enjoy!

The OP playlist is not my creation.

So, I've released this Spotify playlist for the Lemmy community to collaborate on, reclassifying the original playlist into two major categories (frog sounds, and names/themes).

You can receive an invitation to collaborate on the playlist by clicking the link below.
