Rastafarian Reasoning & Language Use: Do you find it easy to follow?

[Tropicana]

I listen to Muta and I enjoy the show even though I don't agree with his views on the Bible and the Christian faith. Some of the callers are hard to follow though. Especially the ones who start talking about I N I and de I, man it is hard to follow the conversation. Also some of the topics are tough to digest. Last night one left my head spinning and I finally had to go to bed. By his reasoning the day has 12 hours, not 24 hours....he refers to daylight time as day. He also said midnight means he middle of the night so we should not be saying good morning until the cock crows....daylight. I guess I shouldn't feel so bad as Muta was having trouble following his argument too.

Maybe I am just not deep enough but honestly I just can't follow some of the reasoning and logic. Anyone face this challenge?

that is an old rasta philosophy.... u double ur age as i n I live by day not night and there is a dey on the inverse of the earth so to speak.....

[Tropicana]

Really? Well Muta didn't seem to be familiar with it.

You lost me at the inverse to the universe part.

[Emperah]

don't know why you would pick dat argument out of the whole show fi tink pan.
Dat was a fufool caller who made no sense and nobody wid any sense could agree with the caller.
In other words there is nothing to think about with anything that caller hadfi seh.

A de ress a de night yuh fi tink pan but it soun like moas dat gawn ova yuh head tuh.

[Tropicana]

No...no...no...I intend to post about the rest of the show later once the video is available......patience Emperah...patience.


Wahalla says that the guys argument is an old Rasta argument.

[Emperah]

it is no awgument but a fools

[Tropicana]

I agree.

[Wahalla]

it is not fool fool.. it is a different way of seeing the world analogous to a different counting system .. At the heart is an agrarian logic.... ie conventionally a day is defined as a single rotation of the planet....

Day is day... night is night..if the u define day as the time of sunlight, then when it is night where u are there is day at the other side of the planet the inverse of your position relative to sun...thus each 24 hour cycle has two light perionds... 1 period of sunlight where u are, one period of sunlight at the other side of the wold... ie two days....

thus 5 in base 10...is 1010101010 in binary or 21 base 2 or 12 base 3...14 base 4 or 10 base 5...it all depends on ur point of reference...all means the same thing...

I guess I knew the fool fool rasta man who teah ini mathematics, additional mathematics and furda mathematics at A'level.... .. He used the day night to explain binary to I n I and explain base counting system. including Babylonian Base 8 and base 12 numarcy which is Y we have the 24 hour cycle for a day......

Wahalla!

As usual yuh missed the point but yuh continue mek yuh awgument sed way yuh alla edit it to rahtid mussi one a di numba dem nevah look right
