Vote for having Shingles and thinking to document it for the internet.
You have the world's coolest parents.
I'm voting cuz i'm hopelessly in love with your moustache.
"If one knows little about anything, then I wonder how they know how others can be wrong."
I know only three things which are provably true:
1) That I know nothing (save for those three things which are currently being enumerated).
2) That you know nothing.
3) That you have something growing from out your upper lip that is indescribably spectacular.
You argued contrary to the second of these things that are provably true. Thus you were wrong.
"Additionally, if one knows little about anything, then how would he or she know that two of the natural rights given to humanity are the right to ignorance and the right to question."
He or she wouldn't. Unless he or she was exercising another natural right: the right to poke fun at another's praxis. Repeating the words of philosophers and then saying "See, look what I did".
Hugs and Kisses,
Geonny
I am the last person to judge whether or not I objectively think. Don Quixote was certain that he thought, that he had free will. But he doesn't "exist". How can I be sure I'm in a better position than he? I can assume I'm not a fictional character in a book someone is writing, or a verse in a multi-dimensional poem some creature beyond my comprehension is composing, or somesuch, but I can never KNOW otherwise.
This thing that I assume is thought, might not be my own and it might not "exist".
But this gets us to the awful discussion of what qualifies as existence and the implications thereof, which is I why I like to say "Philosophy is for suckers." I've got way more important things to spend my time on, like Moustaches.
One thing that always irked me when reading philosophical texts as a lad was the arbitrary things people decided were obvious. I don't KNOW that I think. Therefore I don't KNOW that I am. I can only assume that I think (and, as follows, assume that I am.) But I don't see how people decided that thought was incontrovertable.
Worse than Descartes is Anselm, claiming existence greater than non-existence, and backing up this claim with a resounding "Because."
You don't look a day over 17, Mr. Mayor.
Geonny prefers to subtly fan the flames from the safety of the shadows.
A vote for Beauty and the Beast bedsheets.
I voted, because I enjoy sharing High Scores.
