hume noted that the mere fact of perception doesn't implicate causation. causation implicates itself and is too circular to properly exist. mere clusters of observations exist.

but the clusters of observations are extensive to the entire ensemble of possible existence. it's possible to percolate anything with causation. anything. that's why we use causation to think. it's risky and mostly results in sophistry, but sometimes results in revolution

good ansatz is one of the classic fat-tailled distributions

but you can only get a fat-tail distribution by iterative/recursive processes

so the pizza is in fact a fractal

the fact of the pizza has sub-facts

the sub-facts have a radical inequity to them, just like the inequity in points in a chaos game

like, "flatness" is central to the idea of a pizza.. but exceptions can be made

"pepperoni" is also very central, but less central than flatness. exceptions again.

"anchovies" is very less central yet than pepperoni

"trash bags" is very distant, but can be made to percolate to the idea of the pizza. e.g.: trash bags, trash, that brazilian pizza video where they cook the loving thing in a trash fire

there are no conceptions which cannot be made to percolate to the idea of the pizza. but most such percolations are sophistry

actually there is an inequity in the pizza-hood of pizzas, which gives the illusion merely that platonic ideals of pizza are possible

But for this to be true we need to question the conditions of Being that give rise to our experiences of pizza to begin with. In this case it is the mode of Being particular to the humans of this community, which we will call goons-in-the-world. Given that, what we (goons-in-the-world) know of pizzas a-priori is, put simply, that there are no pizza rules and we are free to determine for ourselves what constitutes a pizza

Thank you for warning the weak and pale diabetic. They'll need extra insulin just for the sugar cloud exhalations your coworkers will give off.

I also heartily recommend having dietetic sweets out just to amuse the non-diabetics. Sugar free milk chocolate peanut cup? I cannot find a downside!

1. The pizza is everthing that is the cheese.
2. What is the pizza ( a flatbread ) is the existence of layers of bread, sauce and topping.
3. A gustatory picture of tomatoes is a sauce.
4. A cheese is a pizzaposition with a rennet.
5. A pizzaposition is a combination of elementary milks. (An elementary milk is a pizza-function of itself.)
6. The general form of a pizzaposition is the general round of a pizza-function, which is: [ p i z^2, a ]. This is the general round of a pizzaposition.
7. Whereof one cannot make rules, one must be silent.

Behold, the Watergate Salad, oddly enough not related to the hotel. It was actually invented by Kraft foods to "celebrate" the launch of pistachio pudding mix.




1 can (20 oz.) crushed pineapple in juice, undrained.
1 pkg. ( 3.4 oz.) JELL-O Pistachio Flavor Instant Pudding.
1 cup JET-PUFFED Miniature Marshmallows.
1/2 cup chopped PLANTERS Pecans.
1-1/2 cups thawed COOL WHIP Whipped Topping.

This gets made every Thanksgiving in my family. We always called it "green glop," thanks to my dad. Didn't know it had a real name!

I think you've illustrated well here how the identities of these layers are simply constructs. The only reason we can speak of them as distinct or in fact deliberate pizza rules in the first place is the the very fact of these non-rules and distinctions. The non-existence of a stable pizza identity arises from this discussion and the infinite deferral of meaning inherent to the (itself unstable) maxim of "no pizza rules". Indeed the differance of pizza is precisely what allows for pizza in the first place

I did some research and all those brands are Kraft Foods brands. Kraft does not have a brand of canned fruit as far as I know, but they do have Claussen so you should use CLAUSSEN pickles instead.
