It's because he huffs enough glue between posts to think saying he's done something means he's done something. Soon he'll be claiming he shared a mason jar of grape juice with a unicorn on the moon, and having already showed us the video footage he doesn't have to prove it.

That which cannot be faulted, knowledge, we call it. If be faulted a premise cannot, that premise you can build on, you can, so long as not faulted it is.

Only falsifiable things which have not yet been falsified qualify as knowledge. Unfalsifiable claims of "mystical knowledge" that can't be tested are beliefs, not knowledge.

I'm beginning to think Frodo, like God's Child, just has a thought process that prevents us from getting anywhere. With God's Child, it was his opinion of what justice is that made me realize it. With Frodo it's his opinion of what knowledge is. There's just a wall thta neither of us can get around.

You can have conditional knowledge.

I'm not sure how anyone would arrive at the applicability of conditional knowledge without testing.

I didn't know the term "conditional knowledge" already had a meaning. I meant that you can know what must be the case if A even if you don't know that A. I guess that isn't really knowledge though.

What do I want you to defend? Your claim that you can support your beliefs in a nonobjective manner.

Well that's weird because I actually answered the question in that original statement.

Fr0d0, I don't see why you even bother elaborating. It has to be obvious by now that we're all intentionally ignoring your arguments because we don't want to accept your position. You might as well be talking to Bart Simspon's butt.
