"Yep, it's really simple, hold an object in one hand, and an object in another, that's 2." - Rhythm
Actually, its not that simple. What makes something a "one"? 12 apple make "one" dozen. A man, woman and child are "one" family. Many families make "one" community. Many communities make "one" country. But what is one itself? One apple is different from another. How much more different are other countable things. How many dogs are in a room that has a real great dane, a stuffed animal with floppy ears and a tail, and a poster of the Peanuts character Snoopy. What is "one" hand? You can have two hands but where do your hands end and your forearms begin.
No argument from ignorance here. I calling for an expanded understanding of what qualifies as knowledge. Real knowledge that can be accessed by means other than by the empirical scientific method. Other means that are subjective in nature and result from inductive reasoning, contemplation, and inner experience.
