The Philosophy forum: Does it exist?

The Philosophy Forum.

John Ellis McTaggart. Charles Sanders Peirce. Nothing is infinite. Nothing is nothing. God. Knowing and believing are the same. Numbers are not things.

You can't prove it exists.

Tide goes in, tide goes out. Never a miscommunication. You can’t explain that. You can’t explain why the tide goes in.

The water, the tide... it comes in and it goes out. It always goes in, then it goes out. You can’t explain that. You can’t explain it.

I can directly point to my experience of it. My experience of it exists.

My experience of it exists.

...which does not imply that the forums exist.

My experience is good and coherent enough for me. I'll roll the dice based on that.

This thread has been moved to the lounge, where no one can see it - be lucky to get a page now.

Wish I could take the credit. But it was probably @Michael. Please behave yourself. Lad has enough on his plate.

Sarcastic, yes.

Of course it exists just so that we can say that it doesn't.

Shitty post @Banno?

It's in superposition until I look at it.

You must have been reading my mind. You are not usually this illuminating.

If I'm desperate I can use pages of bad philosophy, and this justifies the existence of bad philosophy. If the bad philosophy is on this forum its existence may not be justifiable.

Reply to Metaphysician Undercover you print bad posts to this web site? Your own, presumably.

I could, but I have plenty of books of bad philosophy, already printed and ready to go.

Now we're getting somewhere, I new if I hung in there a pearl of wisdom would emerge.

It exists but is not a substance. In Spinoza speak, it is a mode of being that could stop at any time.
