Yes, it’s all an epistemological joke and that’s ok. Don’t run away just yet, it’s about to get good. Who is the arbiter of the meaning of words? If you ask 10 different people in a room to define ‘life’ and you get 10 different answers, why is that? Are they all purposely changing the meaning...

Yes and no.

Improperly according to who?

Prove there are absolutes. Show me how you calling a tree a tree, makes it a tree. Show me where it is written in the stars what proper use of language and proper definitions are.

I am, therefore I think. When I’m asleep, I’m not thinking about anything at all. Yet I am. I do not exist because I think.

I have answered this before. B is a paradox. And if you say there are absolutes, good luck trying to prove it. I contradict myself at every turn because that is the nature of reality. It’s all a paradox, I know that I don’t know. You on the other hand, lack the humility to admit that you don’t...

Like all view points, everything you said is an opinion just like mine. No one has the absolute truth. You can say I’m wrong and I can say you’re wrong all day long, they are opinions. Right and wrong are two sides of the same coin. No matter how much you try to discount and deny subjectivity...

It’s an alternative word to ‘God’ since god is an extremely loaded word and there’s thousands of gods invented by mankind. Ultimate refers to the impersonal version of god, the absolute, the real, the unchanging. By not knowing anything at all, I come to know. What do I know? That I don’t know...

I’m being sarcastic. I said if god can do whatever he wants, he can choose to not be god and if you said no, then you would be limiting him.

It’s not offending to me, it’s laughable that they act as if they know what happens after death as if someone has come back from the dead to tell us about it. It’s all posturing-the religious, the scientists. They all pretend that they know because they are too afraid to contradict themselves...

Nice pivot from the actual question. Anything to keep the mind safe from its own end by admitting it doesn’t know anything at all. It’s not even a riddle. I’ve been answering questions here but you are running away from mine. Since God is omnipotent, can he create a rock he cannot lift? I have...

If God can do anything he wants to, then he can choose to not be God. He can choose to be you and me. He can choose to be the devil himself. He can give himself a birth and a death. No? How dare you limit God.

You said that, “It is axiomatic that everything that exists is limited.“ after you said, “And I will not allow you to say it loosely as mystics assert epistemological limits due to logic and language. The reverse is true. Proper language usage and proper use of language are, along with proper...

Without consciousness, we wouldn’t even be able to have this conversation. Consider the possibility that consciousness is the reality of everything and what we refer to as ‘objective reality’ is the mind’s way of refracting infinite reality into a multiplicity of forms. I figure that deep...

Completely and utterly false. You are trapped in a conceptual fortress where you have mistaken concepts as being ultimate reality. You have mistaken the map for the territory. The raw sensations or beingness of any object is first order. All of your knowledge about said object is second order...

Wrangler, suppose there is a God. Since God is omnipotent…can he create a rock he cannot lift?

People disagree on the basics all the time. You would think there are only two genders but half this country believes otherwise. Then I come in and say that all gender terms (the 70+ genders and the classical 2 genders) are all man made concepts we have been taught. Both sides are wrong. When...

It’s quite the opposite. Being intellectually lazy would be not using your intellect to see its own limitations. You are wanting a definite answer to fulfill your need for comfort when there is none. You are not comfortable with paradoxes. Kids are notorious for asking ‘Why?’ without end. If you...

Acting despite not knowing everything is one thing, thinking that you know everything without admitting that you don’t know is another. The religious will never say that they don’t know whether there is a god or not. Instead they have the origin of the universe and what happens after death all...

Admitting you do not know is often the best option. How can I know it’s the best option if I don’t know? Because by admitting I don’t know, there is absolute certainty. If I claim that I know there is a god or that there is no god, there is no absolute certainty there. There is always that small...
