Correct me if I'm wrong, but there seems to be another irony there. If the question is stupid, why are you replying to it? Not to be terse, but the on...
KT! Very nice. You are one of the few who grasp the basic understanding of existential and metaphysical questioning (another good example is your foll...
Possibility! Thanks, I promise this will be the last piece of the puzzle as it were! And that relates to Eros. I'm afraid I will be needing your guida...
Welcome Doppy! It's been my observation that there are more angry/resentful atheists than there are reasonable one's. There are many reasons for this,...
Okay, as you wish. Unfortunately, since you are throwing in the towel, my only conclusion here is, the fact of bringing to light your deficiencies in ...
Forrest! Don't hide behind ad hominem. If your scared say your scared. Otherwise, does your silence indicates acquiescence to the inability of support...
Let's see, I'm not sure that captures the explanation of consciousness, or does it? Please provide your explanation of mental states from sensory perc...
Sure! In the meantime, if you are unable to answer my questions I understand. I will take your silence as acquiescence to the inability of making fact...
But why do you exist? All you've said so far is to eat and drink. If everyone thought that there would be no procreation hence you would not exist. I'...
What other things consist of this will to live? In principal, if you say ' nothing', then you are essentially relegating yourself to a lower life-form...
Interesting. What is your theory then? The reason I ask is because if you don't understand emergent properties of animal instinct, nor your own featur...
Surely you can do better than that! Meaning, all that's required in natural selection is instinct. No will to live is required. Therefore, once again,...
So, what if it is discovered that the questions (questions about your own existence which you can't answer) are unanswerable because once we dive into...
Are you sure? Let's see, common sense says you have a will to live. So it is true you have a will. But the nature of your will (how it really works, i...
Sure! There also could exist multiple universes. In multiverse theory, there could be universes that use entirely different laws of physics. Cosmologi...
Chris, welcome! Nice. Let's take a look at that. In my consciousness exists both material an immaterial things. Using your concept "attitude" and "sin...
Perhaps we are talking past each other. let me copy my questions to you again. I mean, come on, you're a philosopher, let's dive into one of these dom...
That would be incorrect Forrest. The synthetic a priori is the closest you can get to assumptions yet to be solved. Really? So life is all objectively...
Thanks I'm glad you appreciate my odd sense of humor :grin: Anyway I'm not so sure about that. Of course if something questioned is not described corr...
What's new pussycat, ! Forgive me but I couldn't resist, I'm getting punch drunk. If it only has to do with a description of a thing or object, what i...
Does that qualify as an unanswerable question? It kind of seems so... Yet you would reject such a question. I'm confused. I thought you said objectivi...
Great. I'll wait for your answers to those questions about the nature of those things we are parsing. Wait a minute I don't understand. I thought you ...
I'm afraid you're comparing apples and oranges as it were. Of course that's an objective fact about your material physical existence. How is that germ...
Wait a minute, I thought you said you're sure that objectivity can explain those things that exist? I won't give you a free pass on that one so we'll ...
But that would qualify as a subjective opinion that extends to arbitrary feelings of Love. If it wasn't it would mean the all people either like or di...
Are you sure Forrest? Is my will to live or die, love or not love, wonder or not wonder, for example, qualify as an objective " right or wrong " propo...
How so? What is it about my love of ice cream that makes it a correct opinion? Does that qualify as an unanswerable question? If not please provide an...
Not so fast. If we're talking about the nature of your own conscious existence is that not a metaphysical truth? sSory but I lost sight of this thread...
Hi Forrest! In what context are you referring? In other words, are you suggesting there is an objective standard that precludes mystery, arbitrariness...
Well, that became an ancillary note to our recent discussion. However, it is worth parsing because it's part of the OP (please go back and refresh you...
Not to digress, but that's a great point that almost deserves another thread. Consider that Beings are in fact material aesthetic objects (Classic Gre...
No exceptions taken! No exceptions taken! Exception taken as noted: you still haven't answered the question as to why Venus is attracted to Mar's. For...
Sure! Usually political/social/ethical philosophy are the domain's. Thomas Hobbes, Aristotle, etc.. Couple of interesting bullet points: Knowing yours...
Agree! Hence the discovery AND uncovery of Being. We are free to discover that which an external society can provide for us, while maintaining that sa...
Just as an aside, in paraphrase, it was Aristotle who said the greatest gift that we can give to ourselves (and each other) is to 'know thyself'. Some...
Pardon the interruption! But, I think that's called being in denial :chin: It's probably a Freudian thing. Skeptics are usually stubborn and have tunn...
I think the first part he got right, the second part, not so much. If he's a philosopher, why wouldn't he want to question most everything(?). I would...
In your thinking, you would have a rather tall hill to climb in trying to reconcile the God given gifts from the Mozart's and Einstein's of the world,...
