    I do not know, perhaps this is a seemingly good example.
    If we talking about empty space:

    If you did not checked everything you should not say to others that it aplies on everything. (Also an Ethical one.)

  • What Are The Most Important Questions in Philosophy?
    May I have a question?
  • Socratic Paradox
    ↪TheMadFool


    I told You, before I was born I have heard a voice:
    It sad: Nem hihetsz semmiben. (Hungarian) it could mean that: I shall not belive in anything and it could also mean that I shall not belive in Nothing. And I started to laugh, and while I was laughing i have born, and still laughing.
    I see "things" differently I see "points" that others not, like on that pointilist picture I linked before.
    As a child, my mother used to call me Vajki, so when I started to think in Hungarian about who I realy am.I formed a question: Vaj ki lehetek?(hungarian) it means Who may I'll be?
  • Socratic Paradox
    I have to apologize, I did not meant to denote Platos Socrates While I writed that "Socrates did not know, how to not to know." It should be look like this:Perhaps "Socrates" also did not know, how to not to know.
  • Socratic Paradox
    ↪Cavacava


    "But
    the most absurd thing of all is that one cannot even get to
    know their names or say who they were-except perhaps
    one who happens to be a comic playwright. * The ones who
    have persuaded you by malicious slander, and also some
    who persuade others because they have been persuaded
    themselves, are all very hard to deal with: one cannot put
    any of them on the stand here in court, or cross-examine
    anybody, but one must literally engage in a sort of shadowboxing
    to defend oneself, and cross-examine without anyone
    to answer
    ."
  • Socratic Paradox
    Perhaps someone should ask the Oracle of Delphoi: "Is there any man wiser than Socrates?"

    "And now, since you are the father of writing, your affection for it has made you describe its effects as the opposite of what they really are. In fact, it will introduce forgetfulness into the soul of those who learn it: they will not practice using their memory because they will put their trust in writing, which is external and depends on signs that belong to others, instead of trying to remember from the inside, completely on their own. You have not discovered a potion for remembering, but for reminding; you provide your students with the appearance of wisdom, not with its reality. Your invention will enable them to hear many things without being properly taught, and they will imagine that they have come to know much while for the most part they will know nothing. And they will be difficult to get along with, since they will merely appear to be wise instead of really being so.”

    It could also mean, that "Socrates" did not know, how to not to know.

  • What is NOTHING?
    ↪TheMadFool


    Could it be that I'm making a mistake by trying to understand NOTHING when it could be that ''nothing'' is only a grammatical entity like ''the'' or ''on''? — TheMadFool

    I suggest you, to not underestimate Nothing/anything.

    If I'm correct most religious folks would say that NOTHING is the opposite of God, who is EVERYTHING — TheMadFool

    Perhaps they will share their thougths on this intrtesting topic.



    This qustion is for everyone who is intrested in it:

    Is it possible that Nothing is the source of Everything?
  • What is NOTHING?
    Before I was born, I've heard a voice: "Nem hihetsz semmiben!" transleted to English it could mean: You
    shall not belive Nothing! and/or You shall not belive Anything!
    Then I started to laugh, and I was born, but thats not all.
    I also see these points everywhere (actually I can not not to see them, even when my eyes are closed.)
    Now, You see this pointilist picture, with the dots on it. To me on this world, everything looks the same even empty space..

    Is that possible, that the so called Socrates used "Nothing" as the common multiple? ;)
