Yes, you would be right Perndog, if OAO's possiblity was correct, which it is for all intents and purposes in this plane of existence most certainly not by virtue of thousands of years of human dependency on the fact that when we percieve something it exists in a reality seperate from our conciousness. Whether my perceptions come from electical signals in a tank of fermaldihide(sp?) or from what I percieve them to come from doesnt matter. My perceptions, as are everyone elses, constant in that they recognize existance beyond themselves.

NO. ITS A FUCKING LANGUAGE QUESTION. ITS NOT DEEP. THERE IS NOTHING TO CONTEMPLATE. KOAN
FAILS. If I imagine both
DEFINITIONS OF A WORD then it doesn't make me

Personally I think all philosophers no matter how great pretty much wasted their entire lives. The Greek philosophers were actually pretty lame alot of the time except for math and the emphasis on bettering yourself, and modern philosophers are just a giant waste of time. Do something productive assholes.
Seriously, lets say OAO had a better case for this and people bought it. What good would it do? What bad would it do? It helps noone and fuck all of you who act like its worthy of time. It doesnt make you smarter either it just makes you sound more pompous and annoying.
