What is meaning? And what is stupidity relative to the lack thereof? Do you even have a basis for what you're saying here? And yet you insist on saying it. Why?

Life has no meaning. It's all arbitrary. This is a perfectly valid assessment is it not? But why bother to use the word "perfection" if perfection doesn't exist? Isn't that the least bit strange? And yet it seems to describe the situation PERFECTLY!
 
What is meaning?

stupid
adj. stupider, stupidest
1) Slow to learn or understand; obtuse.
2) Tending to make poor decisions or careless mistakes.
3) Marked by a lack of intelligence or care; foolish or careless: a stupid mistake.
4) Dazed, stunned, or stupefied.
5) Pointless; worthless: a stupid job.

n.
A stupid or foolish person.


And what is stupidity relative to the lack thereof?

One antonym of stupid is smart. Would you like the definition of that as well?

While I have not called you stupid, others definitely have. I believe the reason is that they see that your posts fit one or more of the criteria listed above.

Yes it is.

Perfection exists as a concept. It is one end of a spectrum, like infinity. Because it is unreachable it is impossible to specify what constitutes perfection.


Any more stupid questions?

But these are relative terms. Relative to what? While I noticed you didn't bother to define the word meaning. Why is that? Because it's totally arbitrary, as you seem to suggest below?

But those are just a bunch of words on a list that don't mean anything, right? Why is everybody getting upset then? Because of a bunch meaningless words? :(


Yes it is.

What do you mean? :D

What is a concept, if it's not related to something? What is perfection related to then? If it's impossible to specify, why is it so widely understood?

What exactly do you mean by stupid? :D

Why yes, I think you have it.

It is a bunch of meaningless words making them upset.

Your words.


By the way, do you ever actually attempt to answer questions or do you just ask them? Is your life just a meaningless spiral of fruitless inquiry? Did you drive your teachers insane when you were in school? Are you still in school? Do they let you play with the Flintstone phone, or are they afraid you might hurt yourself?:D

Yes, but what does it mean to you?

Hey, at least it means something, right? ;)


Thank you.
You have answered yes, yes, yes, yes, and the latter.

Thank you for what? That implies that I actually did something. And if I didn't then what would it mean?

Actually, your reply seemed to come out of left field and I wanted to know what you're talking about? So, does that make me stupid? Or, are you referring to something else here?

Iacchus,

Do yourself and all of us a favor here. Either get real or STFU. By "get real," I mean address the questions put to you. Not with other sophomoric questions, but with direct and genuine answers. If you are not going to do that, then stop making idiotic assertions. If you can't do that, then you will have people get irked at you and call you names. In which case, you brought it on yourself and I repeat my original advice: STFU.

Do you believe that God exists? If you have confirmed that He doesn't exist and don't want to know, there's no need to ask ... which may be the problem here. ;) However, if you really would like to know, that's where all the questions come in. In which case I can only help to ask, but not answer them.

What is real by the way, beyond what we sense that is real?

It was a weak attempt at humor, they might call you stupid because holding thier breath and turning blue does not have the desired effect.

Perhaps they are bullies?

I am here, you are there, got it?

And you are not here because I'll have you arrested if you come here.
