I like to poop. Sometimes I hold my poop for days so I can make a very big poop. And sometimes I like to spread my poops throughout the day and make lots of small poops. What is fascinating to me is that sometimes a small poop can feel like a big poop. Today for instance I made a normal poop but I was not satisfied with that so I immediately made two more small poops. After that I was happy. It is fascinating because those two small poops felt just as big as the normal poop I made.

I think small poops are the best. But big poops are good too if I can break them into small poops. Then it's even better.

Go away, Prozak.

The brain in a vat theory is mostly just a thinking tool to explain the impossibility of 'true' knowledge, it could be easily replaced by Descartes demon controlling your mind; or by dreaming; or any of those things - you could be on a hallucinogenic drug that doesn't wear off for example.

Yes, but how on Earth does that relate to my current existence in the slightest, apart from being an amusing aside?

I won't bother with the rest of your boring argument - it relates to your existence by telling you that potentially nothing is true (and everything is permitted, heh heh), it's up to you to decide what that means for yourself!

I agree with Cargest though, that this is rather trite. We can't disprove the existence of pink flying invisible unicorns that don't interact with the rest of the universe either. This is not some great revelation, as a re-definition of the notion of 'reality' would render it's impact even on thoughts and ideas null, not just it's practical implications. But I'm starting to repeat myself here.

There's not much self-awareness in this thread! The pipi-kaka jokes just pushed it over the top for me... I'm all for troll bashing, but there's a right way to do it, and a wrong way to do it... Freshblood has managed to put this forum down a rung in my book...

What the hell kind of book do you have that's got rungs in it?

I'd really like you to bother with the rest of Cargest's boring argument, because right now I don't think you understand philosophy, or any of the things that you claim to some level of specialist knowledge in.

Who cares?

You're standards are useless except to yourself, and no one could give half a shit about what you think.

Back to your online philosophy 101 course loser.

So you are whining about people who whine? 

Nice blatant hypocrisy.

And what degree do you hold in philosophy and from what school?

As far as I'm concerned, having a college degree in philosophy is more like a decertification. The vast majority of universities, if not all, just "interpret" (twist) all philosophy to whatever the most popular philosophy at the time.

The "philosophy" I did (for one semester) at University was pansy liberal bullshit.  I severely decimated the tutorials I attended (using amazing tools such as REASON and FACTS), went to none of the lectures, and then got a 1st in the course by negating the concept of "objective morality".  What a waste of time - I learnt more from hanging out in random bars with thiry year old weirdos.  Studying philosophy =/= doing philosophy.

Jesus Christ, you guys are using philosophy to justify your own foregone conclusions, you truly are the scum of the earth and I for one am immensely thankful that this in itself ensures that you will never have a chance at breeding and will soon die of heart complications relating from too much junk food.

Anyway, I'm done here,  gonna go out for some lunch and then to the beach; don't imagine I'll be back for a while. Please suicide yourselves if you actually care about something other than your senses.

P.S, read some feminist theory - reason isn't all it's cracked up to be.

The fact that you resorted to a generalization reveals that you take the internet far too seriously. Going outside is probably a good idea.

I think freshblood is quite young.  We should give him the benefit of the doubt.  True, most of us stopped being retarded at an even younger age, but there's still time for him to get his head out of his arse and smell the shit outside.
