Are you from Missouri?

According to your theory I don't exist.....so if I steal your car, was it really stolen, since I don't exist?

ya i think they are both very dumb theories, but some girl in class decided to talk about them, and how she believed in them. i was jw if anyone else lived by them, or thought they were true.

Life doesn't exist if you can't see it? You can prove that wrong throwing your computer over your shoulder now cant you?

Re: Re: weird theories?

An apple is red because once opon a time someone decided to attach names to all the colors of the rainbow. Therefore because an apple is red(or green & tan in some cases)it is red! Hard to understand? No.

Things are what you want them to be, but for the sake of simplifying things somewhat, we tend to standardize more or less what we think they are. For example, In America the apple is "red" in Mexico the apple is "rojo" understand what I'm getting at? It doesn't change that it's still an apple (or whatever name you want to call it, it will always be what it is no matter what it's called)

The Matrix and Matrix Reloaded movies are actually based on many philosiphers' philosiphies, including Sacrotes and Rene Decartes'. For example, Rene Decartes has a philosiphy that questions this plane of reality that we are in. He says it is possible for us to all be unconsious bodies floating in vats of nourashing chemicals and and there is someone or something that uses a machine that sends waves of electrons and such to our brains which give us sensations of taste, touch, smell, sight, etc. Therefore, everything that is happening around us, even us ourselves are not even real but all an illusion created by someone or something to blind us from the truth.

Another example by Rene Decartes is dreams. Have u ever had a dream where it seemed so real that u thought it was true but then u woke up? Well how do we know if we are not living in a dream and that dream never ends and our whole lives are just sequels of never ending dreams? Sure you can tell if you or dreaming or walking, but how can you know what walking feels like when u have never walked before in the "real" plane of reality?

"What is certain? How do we know what is real, how do we know what is certain? What IS "know"? What if you're not really sitting here reading this thread, what if you're really floating in a vat and your mind is watching a puppet show? Do you KNOW ? What is the time? Do you think you know just because the clock says 6:50? What if the clock was 2 minutes late? 2 minutes fast? Do you know if you're sitting in a chair? What if you just THINK you are and you just believe because you see it and feel it? Physical touching is not what defines REAL. So what is certain?
Nothing.

Should u accept this world you are in? Or do you want to find out what IS real.
Ask yourselves this:
Is ignorance bliss? Or is the truth worth knowing no matter what?

These are just some examples i've taken out of the book "The Matrix and Philosiphy. These are not MY ideas, heck I dont even believe in em haha. I just put it here to stir up some thoughts cuz after all, this IS a philosiphy board.
