MacDorcha wrote"as for playing "silly mental games" you assume that the truth can be found in one aspect of reality? it seems you need to develope a little. our mental prowess is how we develop any theory. and as i say, a theory isnt "fact" becasuse there is always an "if". you don't solely look into one aspect of being, or you miss the entire picture of being. "

If you are so developed what is your need to play silly Descartes mind games to try and prove your point. If your not afraid to explore the truth you would not have to use this type of fallacious logic. I delve into reason and science not lackluster fantasies about the universe being a dream. I don't know the absolute TRUTH but I do recognize when someone is trying to obfuscate truth with an obvious agenda to promote a mythological system of belief that is little more than mental masturbation.

ok, go on assuming that this is it, and that's all there is. Voltaire is your man. as for me, i think, therefor, i am. i can percieve what reality would be, i can percieve what perfection would be. although i cannot fully understand it, i can grasp the idea of infinity. sense i can do all these things, they must be, since i can grasp the idea of God, He must be.

by playing the silly mind games, you can get over things such as "life is meaningless" (as i am sure you follow, seeing as how you seem to think that once we die, there is no-where else to go, and all our accomplishments will fall) if you follow the actual words of what you say, it's depressing. but you seem to feel man will know everything about everything. if this is true, you will know that man knows that depression is the product of a faulty mindset. you go through life, dont you? there are more things to life than eventual nothing, isnt there? if man is capable of knowing all, it will know that a system designed to die, makes us all useless, which means we should have killed ourselves off long ago. there is, and always will be, more to existance than math and theories.
