Poll: What are you sure about?

[wfpdk]

I'm sure, sure, certainly seems subjective.

 

[Indeterminacy]

I am 100% certain about statements of my phenomenal world being some way or another as I would describe them at present. This includes most finite arithmetic, statements of phenomenal consciousness and sensory experience, and analytic truths concerning the relationship between different abstract definitions.

I am less than 100% certain that this world in any way reflects the noumenal world, with a particular mathematical, objective or platonic structure. However, I am fairly confident that this latter point matters considerably less than people think it does, by virtue of the strength of instrumentalism.

Stuff works. That's real enough.

 

[Fwee]

Everything good in my life has already happened in my life and is now gone, while I remain here waiting to die.
Of this, I am 100% sure.

That I am content right now. I have a beer and a bag of deep fried pork skin, putting my life on cruise control roaming random forums, and unless something untoward should happen, I am sure I am content at this single moment in time.

And really, does anything else matter?

 

[Jegsimmons]

There is no god, or any similar entity.

there is only one God and this person wrong. Also history is something we will never fully understand.

that you are correct.

thanks for not flaming my behind on that.

i dont like to flame, especially when i agree.

I just thought about what to type here... that is all, everything else could be a lie... My cat could be a fiery demon, the sky could actually poisonous on my planet but in this simulation it is safe to go outside... I sleep when my real self... is awake and not hooked up to the machine...

You just screwed me up. I LOVE IT!

Perception = reality?

Vegetarians by choice are really stupid and impressionable.

All of them?

Everyone is impressionable and arguably stupid when compared to some high standard.

Vegetarians are stupid relative to whom?

They are stupid relative to people with warts. What do you think man? They are stupid relative to non-vegetarians!

All of them?

yep, otherwise they wouldn't be vegetarians.

What makes someone stupid about not eating meat? Why do you even care?

I assume you're talking about choice vegetarians, and not vegetarians who are unable to eat meat due to medical reasons?

Yes I am I said that in my original post way back
Humans brains began to grow when we started to eat red meat.
The economy of Australia is highly dependent on its beef (my home country)
Vegetarians are a huge pain to cater for at any parties, and always whine if there's no vegetarian option.
Joke I heard:
A hipster goes into a steakhouse, flicks through the menu, and asks in a patronizing tone "Ugh, don't you have any vegetarian options?"
The chef replies "Yeah we do - you can piss off!" ^^

Interesting. Well, yeah, I agree with what some of you say - but I do admire some vegetarians who have the rhetoric that you shouldn't eat something you aren't comfortable with killing. It does make sense to me.
