• Quick note - the problem with Youtube videos not embedding on the forum appears to have been fixed, thanks to ZiprHead. If you do still see problems let me know.

Existence vs Awareness

Iacchus to English translation: "I'm here to preach my philosophy. And if you don't accept it on nothing more than my say-so, you're a bunch of poopie heads"

And do you realize that in all the time, effort and resources that I've put into this little endeavor of mine, that I have not garnered a single dime from it? So, what do you think drives me to do it, aside from the fact that I might be nuts?

Could be lots of things. Since I cannot read minds, I can't say. But it's irrelevant anyway. The fact that you put a lot of effort into your "little endeavour" without making any money is not evidence that your ideas are correct.

Yeah, I suppose it's possible. It's also possible that I might be telling the truth. Why, do you have a surefire of telling?

Ok, Iacchus. You win. It is possible you could be correct. It is, however, also possible that we are correct. And the only way to tell which is more likely is through evidence. Since you don't have any at all, the choice is pretty easy.

I don't, Iacchus, but the fact that you deny the evidence presented to you certainly points in that direction. The fact that it took several posts to get you to say that it was POSSIBLE that you are wrong doesn't give you much credibility.

Actually, with many of your claims, when you actually make a testable statement, it runs counter to decades of evidence. In other claims, you are internally inconsistent and self-contradictory. In the former instance, it is as close to surefire as science gets. In the latter, it is as close to surefire as logic gets. It is entirely possible that this is why you have chosen to express your views in such vague terms; even you can see, when you put your ideas plainly, that you are quite simply wrong.

If you really do have something to say, then your problem is with your communication skills.
