WayoftheBastard on the physical world

[goldeneye007662]

You're a philosophy major, right? You should be.

[SirContraMundum]

Well said.

[floydstinkyboy]

i think proof the physical world exists comes from the fact that two physical bodies cannot exist in the same place at the same time - knowledge impressed on me at age 10, when a baseball smashed out all my front teeth and broke my nose.

So, an improvement on Descartes would be:

I think therefore something exists?

[wilfredthebold]

Good call. When someone asks me to prove that the physical world exists, I skip argumentation and just stub my toe.

[WayOfTheBastard]

lol ok, I admit it, my argument fails. New rule: Never compose a syllogism and share it publicly on the same day. good stuff here lego man.

@WayOfTheBastard

lol thanks dude. btw, are you a rationalist?

[WayOfTheBastard]

@legodesi No, but I've formally studied the rationalist (along w/ Kant) far more than anything else in philosophy, not by choice I might, so it's often hard not to think like one.
