Unknowing

Post by Eodnhoj7 »

The mind that is unknowing has few to no barriers, I know this thus a contradiction occurs thus I know nothing. Knowing and unknowing are neither one nor many. This is unknowing and I am not sure that I even know this.

It seems wise to be wary of someone who regularly tells people what is the case while saying they know nothing.

Nothingness is inseparable from all things as there are no distinction within nothingness that allows nothingness to be separate from a thing.

There is no nothingness.
That is the same as saying "there is only being". However considering there are no distinctions within nothingness nothingness cannot be separate from being as there are no distinctions that allow for seperation.

Nothingness cannot be proven as to prove nothingness would be to prove nothing, thus no proof.
Nothingness cannot be disproven as to disprove nothingness would be to disprove nothing, thus no disproof.

Stuff being nothing is a paradox.

You can partially resolve that paradox by reducing nothing by half.

No, I prefer being told what is the case by someone claiming to know nothing.
The irony creates a nice frisson.

You're right :cry:. No frisson. Being told what is the case from someone who claims to not know anything and that all learning is pointless comes off self-contradictory which is much less fun to say and further he ignores that. So, actually I was being ironic when I said there was frisson. A private sense of humor is often problematic.

If you're an antirealist like Veritas, it must. And by 'like Veritas' I mean, having his kind of antirealism.
