A Brief Introduction to the Theory of Knowledge
Through acceptance to a large degree. It would be a very intricate task but, revelation of folks whose motives are that contrary to good will will be exposed through the Almighty--exactly how? I am unsure. But to just recognize this crap when it is heading your way is warning enough.
Hmm acceptance....So the focus should be on presenting your own beliefs in such a way as to persuade the listener that they (your belief(s)) correspond to reality? If not, then what other way could there possibly be?
You say you are unsure.....Does that mean you have a few ideas but not sure which will work?
Or are you pretty much coming up empty on ideas altogether?
I am still foggy on your point view on the external reality that you are experiencing.
What are your thoughts, if any, on a theory of "Absolute Truth"?
Are you absolutely positive that you are not sitting in a small pod plugged into a large computer that is pumping sensual data directly into your brain while your body just lies permanently motionless and unconscious?
Are you 100% certain that your entire life did not begin just an hour ago and that all your memories are really just implants meant to fool you?
Why is it that when you are dreaming, you don't realize that you are dreaming? Your brain is completely fooled into thinking that your observations are real no matter how much your obsevations violate the physical laws of the mechanical universe. How do you know that this same thing isn't happening while you are awake?
I was doing the crossword puzzle today and I thought that maybe I could just put in whatever answer I wanted and the puzzle would just come together anyway. I told everyone else in the room to put in whatever they thought was the true answer, since if they thought it was true then it was indeed true. Hmmm nope..didn't work, it ended up that there was only one solution. In the end, everyone had to reconsider what they thought to be the "True" answers in favor of the answers that actually solved the puzzle.
Kaos' Parable of the Crossword. Whatcha think?
