Really am!Considering how sucky my life off the net is right now, that really makes me feel better. When I say sucky, one can always compare their lives to others and know I have it better than many, but you can still get down no matter your lot in life.
But in all seriousness, I really needed that. Thanks.
No worries mate. Life can suck, I know all to well. Things improve over time with a little effort though. I spent a whole year trying to get over someone I used to love. Finally got there though. Can't even remember her face.
Anyway, you're welcome.
Agree completely with what you said. Philosophy doesn't provide answers, nor proves anything. When compared to testing, measurements, observation and peer review, it's an old, out dated redundant method of understanding things. I think you only really use it with the application of the knowledge you already have.
Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence - Carl Sagan
Mankind's intelligence walks hand in hand with it's stupidity.
Being an atheist says nothing about your overall intelligence, it just means you don't believe in god. Atheists can be as bright as any scientist and as stupid as any creationist.
You never really know just how stupid someone is, until you've argued with them.
