How did you come to the conclusion that answers are within?

[MotionFur]

When it is said that "the answers are within," it's in reference to the basic questions that precede externals. The question of the validity of empiricism for example can not be answered empirically, as assuming the validity of empiricism to prove empiricism is circular. The question of existence and what it means is something that can only be solved threw introspection and logical thinking.

[RisingOctopus]

Yes. I know. You haven't told me anything new. You just clarified the wording of my question without providing an answer. My question is how did you come to the conclusion that questions of existence and what it means can only be solved through introspection and logical thinking?

[MotionFur]

It must out of necessity, because it precedes all any external exploration.

I really can't get more then 30 seconds [5 seconds of the screaming] before I HAVE to turn that video off.

Absolutely fantastic video. I love this and I'm going to be showing it to friends.

I understand, but it is very interesting just how many different ways religion can manifest itself. These people seem to believe that cutting down trees is murder.

Great vlog, mate. It is always a pleasure to stumble upon clear thinkers.

Yea I suppose consciousness is a better attribute than intelligence. Interesting answer.
