No matter what you think up, or try to put in thought, mine will always be greater, because that is the door the OP left wide open.

If it is called the Greatest Conceivable Being, then you should be able to conceive of it, right? So don't be shy, religion has been trying to do it f...

Can anyone here actually conceive of this supposed GCB? Anyone at all?

@"LD Saunders" doesn't even know what a basic fact is. But go and prove your position, post the details of the GCB and I will show you some flaws in i...

I think you are making that blank statement because you are unable to follow me.

It is a logical proof. A simple version of a proof by contradiction, the plus one simply represents one thing is greater than the other, and the origi...

Btw, religious groups have been warring and killing each other over who has the GCB for thousands of years. Christianity, Islam and Jaduism are prime ...

Then don't think of it as an infinite set, think of it as your finite set plus one. Honesty, I don't think you even understand what infinity represent...

OK your GCB can be at the top rank, and my will be at your top rank plus one more rank. Dang, another contradiction.

Think of the greatest integer you can and we'll call this the greatest conceivable integer (GCI). Post that number here and I'll show you one greater ...

It is a common example found in text books of the proof that there is no greatest integer. So, what do you think, is there a greatest integer?

You are talking about an ordinal scale, where objects or events are distinguished from one another on the basis of the relative amount of some charact...

Your ranks of greatness would simply be integers. 1,2,3,4,..., n There is no greatest integer and there is no GCB.

I think we can show that there is no such thing as a greatest conceivable being. Greatest is a ranked gradation so let's say that there is a ranked sc...

Couldn't the GCB by human understanding conceive of a even greater conceivable being? Than that being could conceive of even a greater being, and so o...

The GCB limited by human understanding would not be that great, it would be full of human flaws and limits.

No.

I find that Existential Nihilism, on a whole is generally fundamentally misunderstood.

The idea that a single timed test can measure the entirety of a person's intellectual range is a very stupid idea.

Forget double majoring, also don't over stuff your semesters with credits. Take a few good classes then use the extra time to learn the subjects more ...

Objective reality has far more creditably and consequence than your nonsense. That's why you look both ways before you cross the road and don't just w...

@"LD Saunders" I am still waiting for you to prove your "fact". That is how things work in science, and maybe if you took some classes in a science th...

They also tend to learn what a basic fact is, maybe you should take some of those classes.

You clearly have no clue what a fact is, at any rate please provide the empirical evidence and PROVE IT.

That is a statement that you cannot prove.

Please try to stay on topic, you are derailing the thread.

I don't care what they are looking for, this is the only rational course of action. There are only two choices, either you kill yourself, or you engag...

That is a lie, you sent me a bunch of PMs. It is clear to me, that you want me to response.

I don't know why these denialist completely disregard the very likely possibility that the material (for lack of a better term) world is real. Just ap...

Just apply Occam's Razor.

Flashing your degree is not going to work on this site. Many people here are well educated.

Let's try reading this again . . . . You are also completely wrong about my level of mathematics. Last night I wrote out a proof showing \sigma^2=\fra...

In a proof you must be able, when called on to PROVE EVERYTHING, and SHOW HOW ONE THING FOLLOWS ANOTHER. This does not mean just giving your subjectiv...

Prove P1 & P2, I don't think you have ever seen a formal proof.

"P5: There is an infinite number of potential premises that can be used in an argument." Prove that.

Ya that is a big pile of nonsense. Truth and logic are not the same things. Logic is a tool to help us narrow in on the truth, it does not actually cr...

I don't remember you actually establishing that. Perhaps you should actually try.

I like how you try so hard to pretend like you don't care. Got to keep up that nihilistic image, right? Or how you think they should act, rather.

I don't recall asking about a supernatural being. Let's take a look. . . Do you see the word supernatural or even god in there? As I don't. And you re...

Why do you care?

Well good luck with your thinking, you are going to need it.

Not the "truth" you are peddling.

Not interested.

Nihilism never stands "staunchly" against anything. That would imply a purpose, a meaning and a direction. You want that to be true and that is why yo...

Existential nihilism gives you the freedom to shape meaning how you like; it, however, does not remove it. It is the realization that in an existence ...

If your world is so easily shaped by words, then you are not much of a nihilist. At any rate, I am using the words properly. I am starting to think th...

I don't really care about colloquial usages. Everything that we considered objective, to be considered at all, must also be subjective, a subjective c...

Subjective and objective are the same things, and they have always been the same thing, ever since people thought them up. Subjective and objective ar...

Saying and doing are two very different things. I can say that I have flown to the moon and swam to the bottom of the ocean, but just saying those thi...

How about addressing my actual question? And learn how to use the quote and/or mention feature, which is standard practice at these forums.
