Gene03 0 #28 February 28, 2007 Quote No. Some concepts trancend any illusionary existentialism. For instance, 1 + 1 = 2. True, the numerical sysmbols used to convey that are, in fact, arbitrary, but the fact remains that if I have one item and I add another item, I have 2 items. I can know that is true whether or not I actually have the items in my physical possession or simply in my imagination. Aren't they just abstract units of measurement? In the same fashion as time and distance? We would have one hell of a time with any form of technology without them though.“The only fool bigger than the person who knows it all is the person who argues with him.

I think you'll do quite well God love you, Fonz....but I can barely make it through Chemistry for Dummies! Imagination I've got; I don't have the math skills. That's where I'm ignorant in - math skills. If there were a course which didn't involve lots and lots of incomprehensible math, then I'd take it in a heartbeat...but I haven't found Quantum Physics for Dummies yet.

skybytch 259 #32 March 1, 2007 QuoteBut if you put them in a box, do you really know they're still there? That's what I wonder about. How you determine the reality of something when you can't see it. In my intro philosophy class I learned that you can't determine the reality of something when you can't see it. You can't determine the reality of something if you can only see part of it. You can't determine the reality of something if you can see all of it. You can't even determine the reality of something if you can see, smell and feel it. After all, there remains the possibility that we live in a Matrix-like world where nothing is real. Philosophers are very sick people. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Philosophers are very sick people. thats not quite true... for instance, you can sometimes determine the existance of something by seeing what is NOT there. For instance, a black hole. How do you see something that absorbs all surrounding matter and energy (light)? You wait for it to pass in front of some lighted object and view the effects. You can now know its real. Or maybe were all just jerking off.

Michele 1 #47 March 2, 2007 QuoteAs for all you philosophers, STFU! You couldn't be talking to me - I'm no philosopher. But I wonder how you prove the existence of anything once it's out of your sight. And then again, how do you prove you've actually seen it? Should your impressions actually be trusted? What if you take measurements? Does that make it real? What is real? Is it all an illusion, or is it concrete? And how far does illusion actually creep into reality? Is it black, white, or shades of grey? And does illusion shape our perceptions of what really is real? My head hurts. I don't know where I put the aspirin.
