I am The One.

Don't mind the hair and the facial expressions. It's all about the Philosophy.

  • LOL... Yea dude, im saying if induction produces certain or probabilistic truth, then i probably coudl pull it off b/c i see induction is simply an illogical method of deduction, so from it i think i can prove almost anything. I dont want to do it in a vid b/c its so absurd but ill comment more on this one to show you waht im thinking... regardless i probably should not have made the statement so confidently "easy" i said LOL ill 'take it back' in my next vid good lookin out man...

  • Ha, alright. Just keepin' ya honest...

    If you have some sort of evidence, then it's possible to argue for something, sure (though this isn't induction unless you're projecting into the future based upon past experience). But in the case of Cartesian skepticism, as I argued in this video, we seem to have no such evidence.

  • we have at least sensual evidence of a physical world, but no evidnece at all of a matrix. if either could be the basis of our exixtence, why bother with a concept (like prerelativity ether) that serves no purpose?

  • if you are The One, can you fly?

  • See my vid on Descartes' evil genius.

  • Just keep on writing, keep on thinking, it'll sort itself out eventually.

  • How old are you?

  • LOL you should see some of my philosophical writing it gets nuts... but the more complicated the moves I make, the less confidence I can have in them.

  • the problem of induction is not just a past-to-future problem.

    problem #1: not concerning the future, we already have some observations, let's say 1, 2, 3, 4. from these observations, we can't conclude a general truth about past or present. f(n)=n is only one among many equally likely explanations.

    problem #2: let's say that problem #1 is not a problem, and we know that f(n)=n is true for the past and the present. we still don't know if this will continue to be true in the future.

  • Um dude just for the record, I don't think that was a ridiculous argument at all, I thought it was creativity of a very high order....

  • Alright man i did it... i posted the ridiculous argument that has been on my mind for some time. Enjoy!
