The Question-Question Thread

[Zammy-Sam]

Wouldn't it make sense that life is basically completely predictable when you consider that all is based on chemical reactions and force interactions?

 

[Cat]

Wouldn't "sense" and "meaning" be completely incomprehensible if we considered our life mere biochemistry?

 

[Zammy-Sam]

Aren't "sense" and "meaning" in general incomprehensible?

 

[pds]

You can't make any sense of "sense" and find no meaning in "meaning"?

 

[Cat]

Well, if we are nothing but a chemical process and the world around us is nothing but a chemical process, how can we say that the words we utter "refer to" objects?

 

[markceltic]

Anyone else think that Cat likes screwing with our heads?

 

[TommyWillB]

Does it make you a bad person if you really do have a lot of fun screwing with someone else's heads?

 

[pds]

If heads were screwed on right in the first place, would his questions seem like he was screwing with them?

 

[Zammy-Sam]

lol, wasn't pds's question a good one?

 

[diablojota]

What was the question again?

 

[Cat]

Isn't asking the right questions what philosophy is all about?

Does your head screw off clockwise or counterclockwise?

 

[diablojota]

Which direction is clockwise again?

 

[Cat]

The best description of "clockwise" would be "counter-counterclockwise", don't you think?

 

[diablojota]

Who would've thunk it?

 

[a_iver]

Why is the sky blue?

 

[Zammy-Sam]

Doesn't it have something to do with the different gas densitiy in the air and in different "levels"?

 

[a_iver]

Can anyone get past level 52 in Dr. Mario for the original Nintendo?

 

[markceltic]

Is Nintendo actually making a profit these days?

 

[diablojota]

Is Microsoft Xbox making a profit? Will Apple create its own game system?

 

[pds]

Did someone change the subject?
