    Didn't I ask "the internet" that exact question just now?

    Isn’t this the thread for questions, not answers? 🤪

    Are you unaware that the purpose of this thread to learn all the secrets of the universe from nothing but questions, through critical reasoning, deductive and inductive logic, and intuition? 🤔

    Isn’t this thread a great opportunity to fine tune your wit and cleverness? Isn’t it interesting how you can learn quite a bit of information here although questions are all that’s permitted? Did you see in recent posts how new posts in this thread light up the feel good chemicals in my brain?

    The MOST important question for you, @laimi921...are you team coffee like the meek masses, or are you one of us few, proud, half-awake posters who declare themselves free from this subversive addiction?

    Uh oh... did we bombard him with so many responses he decided to leave?

    Is that all that will be left for all 11k+ of my messages if I decide to leave?

    is that a fancy way of saying there is actually no real purpose? :D

    Is it possible trying to find all the secrets of the universe seemed too much work? Or was @laimi921 one of those Morning Monster Energy Drink addicts and felt left out?😅

    Do you realize it hurts me to hear that this could be a possibility?!

  • nossmf
    nossmf Posts: 11,604 Member
    Which possibility? The posts disappearing, or me disappearing?

    Disappearing to where!?
  • nossmf
    nossmf Posts: 11,604 Member
    Since "disappearing" is by definition stopping to exist, would a more accurate word choice be "moving to where?"

    Are you related to Bishop Berkeley? 😄

    Frank are you really expecting us to know all about Irish clergy from the 1700's???

    Are you familiar with Berkeley's philosophy that objects do not have a real existence apart from being perceived? Isn't his famous principle: "esse is percipi" -- "to be is to be perceived"?
    Didn't "disappearing" remind me of the expression "out of sight, out of mind", bringing to mind Berkeley's idea that something doesn't exist apart from being perceived?

    are'nt I indeed familiar with it?

    don't I have google search to thank for that? ;)

    Isn't how you learned it immaterial, ideally? 😄
  • nossmf
    nossmf Posts: 11,604 Member
    Isn't the more famous philosophical principle "cogito ergo sum," "I think therefore I am?"
  • frankwbrown

    What would a conversation between Berkeley and Descartes sound like?
    With my affinity for mathematics and logic, didn't I embrace Descartes' "cogito ergo sum" upon first hearing it? But didn't I find Berkeley's idea of immaterialism a bit crazy?
