Quote:That all goes back to what I said earlier. There are those types of situations which we know are true such as the fact that, if I drink poison, that would be lethal to me. But then there are other types of situations where there is no proving who is right and who is wrong. These types of situations are where we just argue back and forth and it just gets nowhere.-and then there are times when we realize that our premise is self defeating and rush to burn the earth. "If I can't be right then no one can!"
Your stubborn inability to move beyond a failed argument or flawed point is in no way indicative of the inaccessibility of knowledge in this or any other subject.
