We know that you don't want to address my point and rather mark it as intellectual garbage so you can present your "obviously" better point.

Get involved in philosophical discussions about knowledge, truth, language, consciousness, science, politics, religion, logic and mathematics, art, history, and lots more. No ads, no clutter, and very little agreement — just fascinating conversations.
