Quote:Math is pure reason for instance, and we also have the option of finding probabilities of certain things being true.
Jaded? ME? Certainly not! I'm merely a romantic who's been in a very bad mood for 30 years.

OF course,for all practical purposes I accept mathematical proofs as true and a probability of 1 as true. Many premises on which I actually base my behaviour are not really all that sound if examined. We humans are not very rational beings in essence..
About 35 years ago,I sat drinking ghastly coffee, at the philosophy club at Adelaide university,while an honours student gave his paper on the impossibility of motion. (with no apologies to Zeno of Elea)
Today I just tend to get a headache as my brain seizes.
