Sooner or later you have to die.

Sooner or later you have to die.


Actually, this phrase that you submitted is in relation to one of my most strongly held philosophical beliefs.

Matter of fact I remember creating one or more threads in direct contrast to the statement you used.

Philosophically, you – what we identify as ourselves, is consciousness.

Haven't fount it yet but there is a thread here that I posted a while back, something like; What if were possible for us to experience death?

Won't bore you with the details but suffice to say, we never die.

We cannot experience death so this is all we know. Or will ever know; our eternity.


So actually, Sooner or later you have to die is an incorrect statement, philosophically speaking.


Thanks for playing...and I mean that.

You're welcome, Bill. Actually I have not understood why it should be an incorrect statement: even if we are consciousness, when we die we have not consciousness any more. As Hammock wrote in another thread I started, consciousness is basically experience, and that's the very reason we cannot experience death, because death is the end of our consciousness too.

That gif files add to web page loading time, no matter how insignificantly.

That you will challenge this, philosophically.

Yes, David Handeye we agree - for the very reason that you so elegantly stated.

This statement is easy to philosophically contest and dismiss.

One picture is worth a thousand words.

So, philosophically, gif files ultimately reduce overall loading times for any thread that gifs are used.


Less words = less loading times, for all words within every thread also demand loading times.





...strongest held belief?

I'm impressed, Bill. Well done.

Now how about my second one?

(Lol! You don't believe these to be my strongly held beliefs? Neither do I. i just wanted to test your challenge, for a lark.)

Like an earwig in Leonard Nimoy's ear, Bill. (Remember Night Gallery?)

Now, about my second challenge?

...your second challenge?

Oh, I see now - That you will challenge this, philosophically.
