Yeah, I said that too!
Quote:Whether or not Santa can be known to be not real depends entirely on what you mean by 'knowledge', and defining knowledge in a consistent way is extremely difficult - or maybe I'm just a "tedious cunt".
Anybody that will sit there and debate that they don't know that Santa is not real, is a tedious cunt, because I'm talking about the earth based story about an earth based being, that of course we know is made up.
And the reason they are tedious cunts is because they come up with ever more improbable and tedious crap to stay in the debate - and you eventually end up talking about something else hardly even connected with the original point, such as possible real santas in an infinite universe which might match up to the Earth based story, which the philosobabbler then classes as a "win".
You are currently experiencing a lucky and very brief window of awareness, sandwiched in between two periods of timeless and utter nothingness. So why not make the most of it, and stop wasting your life away trying to convince other people that there is something else? The reality is obvious.
