[UnbelievingScumOnTheOtherSide]

yes, in the same camp as ann coulter, laura ingraham, peggy noonan, mark levin, thomas sowell, ben stein et al. But NONE of them KNOW anything obviously, probably haven't read THE WOLFSON REPORT and are just reacting emotionally to the entire affair...

On page 33 Wolfson make the following statement:

"(Descartes addressed this in his proposition that it is our awareness, our consciousness that defines our being: "Cogito, ergo sum." This logic would imply that unless we are aware and conscious, we cease to be.)"

This fallacy of logic is at the heart of his whole thesis. This was noticed by FReeper syriacus HERE from context posted HERE.


(Descartes addressed this in his proposition that it is our awareness, our consciousness that defines our being: "Cogito, ergo sum." This logic would imply that unless we are aware and conscious, we cease to be.)

That's bad logic.

The statement,
"I don't think, therefore, I am not,"
cannot be proven true,
from the truthfulness of the statement,
"I think, therefore I am.

The "I don't think"statement is merely the inverse of the "I think "statement."

Elementary logic: Inverse: The inverse is simply the conditional with ‘not’ added to it.

1.Statement: If p, then q
2. Inverse: If not p, then not q

A statement is not logically equivalent ... to its inverse.

believe me, i am not one of those that has annointed the WOLFSON REPORT with virtual papal infallibility, i was being sarcastic.

i heard a caller to the DC talk radio station yesterday actually say that terri ceased to be human 15 years ago. it is the viewpoint of many and it sends chills down my spine to hear it uttered blithely and unselfconsciously. it speaks volumes about those that have that mindset.

This logic would imply that unless we are aware and conscious, we cease to be.

Hmm, seems I die every night about 11.
