  • Very deep and enlightening, thanks!

  • Stef, yes it was very helpful of you to rename the titles of some of the earlier shows because (for the novice like myself) it makes the subject-matter appear less intimidating.

  • For anyone seeking the truth, please check out the scribd website that is listed on my channel.

  • @koldtoft not a ufo advocate. but the laws of physics are not completed. therefore physics has nothing to say about the issue.

  • saying a proposition is possible, is just saying, that u are not aware of anyway in which ur statement is a contradiction. learned this from leibniz.

  • @koldtoft I strongly suggest you research into the field of UFO studies, as there is logically consistent rationale aiming to prove their existence with supporting science.

  • Just a quick note on the UFO’s. They are “impossible” given the distance between stars, and the impossibility of accelerating mass to or beyond the speed of life. For aliens to get to earth, they must violate the laws of physics or at least be able to jump between dimensions or something like that. I think it’s fair to put alien visitors in the “not possible” category. Alien life in the universe. Very probable.

  • Appreciate your work. Very elegant.

    It seems to me that your definition of philosophy does not allow much if any space for theism. But if you would have asked me last week, my assumption would have been that most philosophers where theists? As opposed to most scientist being atheist. Is that a false assumption? Or maybe it’s just that most people where or at least said they were theists when philosophy was in its prime. (before science took its place on the throne)

  • Great video. Just to be nitpicky, it has certainly not been established that crop circles are a hoax, although some hoaxing has been revealed. Also, the assertion "this wall is red" cannot be objectively validated due to the limitations of your 2006 video equipment. Neither point detracts in any fundamental way from the fundamental precepts of your arguments.

  • @nazra7 Are you actually making an argument for ghosts on a philosophy video???

  • Easily understood and well done.
