Tha...A good zinger of a post to start the New Year! Thank you. There are many great things about the post, but as I am troll and can be nothing else, I have to question the content. But not the style, sir, never the style.<br /><br />The theses of the post include: People can never know everything. On the surface this is indeed the case, but:<br /><br />For example, a person with impaired memory. They may know a great deal, but can't recall it. How can you be sure people are not in a partial amnesiac state in general? Because, remember, we don't just pop out of thin air. We were someplace else before we were here. Where? What was going on? What was it like? We don't know. Why don't we know? That is the question.<br /><br />And do not the scriptures speak of the water of lethe, blessed forgetfulness. <br /><br />Now, indeed people don't just vanish into thin air when they die. Where do they go? Of course we know what happens to the material component. Is there another component? If there is, where does that go? What does it do? That is the question. <br /><br />Therefore a thesis can be forwarded, that everybody indeed knows everything, except when they are in certain states, like being alive, or asleep, or under anesthesia, etc. There's not much evidence for it, but also, it cannot be refuted either.<br /><br />The between life space...is it a thing? The scriptures tend to think so, as does Greek Mythology.<br /><br />What happens there is the missing information which could support or refute your assertion. But as it stands, you don't have a lock on your thesis, and should admit as much.<br /><br />Cheers, tootles, yes I am a Brit, such behaviour!!!

How burdensome it would be to have complete knowledge about even one thing, and have to live amongst all the people who hopelessly lack the same! juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15975754287030568726noreply@blogger.com
