Sorry Bill. That was a philosophical challenge.

.



Well, I had to philosophically challenge your statement, That you will challenge this, philosophically. - by not challenging the actual statement.

So, my above empty post challenged your statement by not challenging your statement...um, philosophically and uh, literally.

...strongest held belief or opinion?

.

Let's get a second opinion on whether you've succeeded. Anyone?

I personally think that posting, itself, was the challenge. And perhaps not even posting would be a challenge, by negation (?)

.




Not sure what you mean.

Actually, I did not post anything at all for a number of days...But then I thought that you may not get meaning of the response/non-response.

That is when I posted the blank response.




.

Actually, I did get the meaning of you not posting. I considered both options before you did either.

Awww, go on!! Now who's trying to get under who's skin with the compliments lol!

I am.

There is another English speaker.

Something cannot be and not be.

I am a body with senses in an external world.

There are phenomena.

There is something.

Nothing cannot be.

Everything is everything.

Everything is nothing.

Nothing is everything.

Nothing is nothing;

Everything is everything.





You say, I am. I say you are nothing.


Show me the difference between your I and my I.



There is no you behind the I am.

Philosophy being neither true or false allows for Anything to be challenged philosophically.

The only thing you can count on people for is to let you down.

I guess, in that respect, people are pretty reliable...which could be considered uplifting.

My opinion is to believe nothing, but seek to know.

I won't hold my breath waiting for your challenge.
