Age, I'm going to take this entire discussion over to your own thread, the one you created and titled...Age wrote: ↑Mon Jan 03, 2022 2:35 amThis is akin to saying, "We do NOT (yet) know how a human made contraption could fly, so we will NEVER be able to know this", about 200 years prior to when this was being written.Dontaskme wrote: ↑Sun Jan 02, 2022 7:40 amTo surrender to ones ignorance is wisdom of the highest form, actually.

nah...that there is surrender to ignorance...can't see any reason for it
''To know'' is a dexterous verb - instrinsic with the intellect that is the human mind. Every body of knowledge - the known - no matter the context, arises from the unknown, whilst the unknown arises from the source that can never be known – the unknowable.
Or, akin to saying, "We do NOT (yet) know how to live peacefully together in harmony, so we will NEVER be able to know this", in the days when this was being written.
What is 'the unknown', to 'you' here, "dontaskme", is ALREADY KNOWN, HOW, EXACTLY, 'that unknown', to you, arises from 'the source' is also ALREADY KNOWN, AND, even WHAT 'the source', EXACTLY, IS is ALSO ALREADY KNOWN.
And, to be even MORE CONTRARY to what 'you' BELIEVE here, ALL-OF-THIS just becomes KNOWN and just plain old COMMON KNOWLEDGE, like how it is so VERY POSSIBLE to fly in 'contraptions' called 'air planes' is just COMMON KNOWLEDGE to 'you', in the days when this was being written was.Is this thee One and ONLY ACTUAL Truth that will EXIST, forever MORE?
Or, could this just be YOUR OWN so-called "reality", which is NOT ACTUALLY True NOR Real, AT ALL?
Just because you read from some book - " There is NO 'I' ", does NOT mean, and I will repeat, does NOT mean, that those words are ACTUALLY nor IRREFUTABLY True, AT ALL.To CLAIM that there is "an unknowable" is to just make an ASSUMPTION, without ANY ACTUAL PROOF AT ALL.
In fact, it would be an IMPOSSIBILITY to HAVE PROOF for this CLAIM.
OF COURSE.
BUT to CLAIM to KNOW that there is "an unknowable" is a logical IMPOSSIBILITY.CONTRARY to what 'you' ASSUME and BELIEVE here "dontaskme", 'the source' is ALREADY KNOWN.
Will you provide examples of WHERE the one known as "einstein", supposedly, stated 'this'?
If no, then WHY NOT?
Also, is it CLAIMED that "einstein" once actually made the witty remark, "Reality is merely an illusion, albeit a very persistent one", instead?
If yes, then what was that 'witty remark' in relation to, EXACTLY?
I am NOT sure how you arrived at this ergo, from your previous claim, which may NOT be true and right at all anyway, but anyway you have. Do they somehow follow logically? And, if yes, then HOW, EXACTLY?
Also, what do you think your conscious is, EXACTLY?God is also Dark, according to your previous definition, and claims.So, Light is running your OWN MISERY and wish of NEVER being born here, "dontaskme", correct?If you say and BELIEVE so, then 'it' MUST BE SO, correct?So, whatever the one known as "dontaskme" KNOWS, then that is the END of knowledge, and as far as ANY one, FOREVER MORE, can 'reach'.
Well this is according to "dontaskme", and its so-called "logic", anyway.
And, if they are Correct, then there is NO going BEYOND 'that', which is ALL that can ONLY be KNOWN.So, ONCE AGAIN, we have ANOTHER human being who CLAIMS to KNOW thee ACTUAL Truth, while also CLAIMING that 'others" do NOT.BUT, human beings are, and can be, the MOST INTELLIGENT animal, which is what, literally and actually, separates them from ALL the other animals. But, let us NOT FORGET that human beings are, and can be, the MOST STUPID animal AS WELL.Pain is ALSO a VERY NECESSARY part of life, and living.
Without pain, healing could not be achieved, and then animals would (have already) just die(d) out.
I am still shocked that there are some adult human beings who are so SELF-CENTERED that they would prefer, even think, or BELIEVE that Nature, Itself, should have had 'them' ONLY, in thought, when creating thee Universe in which they found themselves IN.Roll on WAKE UP time.
''Philosophical DISCUSSION'' .. here...viewtopic.php?f=5&t=34118
I think it's better you and I discuss my disdain for the experience of ''sentient life'' on your own thread, as to not derail or distract Henry's thread about FREE WILL
See you on your own thread.
