Show how the methods of empiricism are unreliable.

I will not do this again. I really dont feel llike explaining the entire methodological view as well as Humean view of why Rationalists and Empiricsts such as Lock are retarded.

Explain how it is an ad-hominem fallacy to point out that you just used an appeal to authority, asshole. The point remains.

OH yea, and SOcrates believed in reincarnation and that " magical innate ideas" allowed people to know reality. NO proof of them anywhere in any form. Plato just pacified im more by trying to explain the genration of the ideas in another Disney world called the metaphysical plain of forms. Please, that is the biggest assumptiion pie anyone could bite into. Compared to that Empiricism looks fucking gorgeous.

Socrates at least used logic; you just whine and appeal to authorities who would disown you if they could. Though I myself am more Cartesian in nature, you are still just a useless Sophistic brat. Are you going to be backing up any of your shit, or should we ignore you?

You're a Sophist whose masturbating to Skeptic nonsense. I'm sorry if this offends your poor sensibilities; maybe you should be less offensive in your postings if you want people to not insult you?

Notice how he continues to evade the points raised about facts and knowledge. If 2+2=4 is a fact, then "the speed of light is 3E8 m/s" is a fact. Both are facts couched in the contexts of their respective systems: mathematics and the observed universe. But only one of them is true, according to Humpty Dumpty here.

Yawn, i have backed it up in a multiplicity of ways. Quotes, ideas, diredt observation of the two greatest skeptics, Hume and Descarte. I could throw in Pyrrho. ( i know i spelled that wrong)

NO, if i didnt think in skepticism, i wouldnt be a skeptic. NEver once have i stepped out of the definitino of skeptic. YOU are thinking of what they call usual skeptics. There are also Academic skeptics that evolved from Plato's academy.

There are two types of Skeptics, Universal and Limited.


Please, i am not understanding what you want me to explain. ILl try again. Tell me specifically waht you want me to tell you.

Decartes was not a skeptic, you inbred cumstain. He was the first of the Cartesians. Or has your Community College Philosophy 101 class not gotten that far yet? :roll:

Let's see this great and mighty Cartesian logic at work!

Decartes: God is perfect. Perfection can't come from imperfect beings. Therefore, I can't be imagining God. Therefore, he must be real and perfect.

Ladies and gentleman, we have an idiot who thinks that's reasonable.

Doesn't change the fact that your arguments are based on illogical appeals to authority, and you have just conceded that this is true. If you wish to counter with style over substance fallacies for even more public embarassment, be my guest.

I don't give a shit what you call yourself. The point is that by denying the validity of all facts based on data from outside your own mind, you DO subscribe to solypsism. You can call yourself a Sparktometrist for all I care; you'd still be a solypsist.

If 2+2=4 is a fact, ahhh when did i say that was a fact? WHen? That would be based on Empiricist (experience) Or rationalist reason.

Let me re-phrase that for you:

PS. I like the part right after your proud appeals to authority where you claim to have "direct observation" of Hume and Descartes. You must be older than I thought :lol:

NO, not untill you PROVE that Empiricism represents reality
SORRY, you cannot do that. That is the weakness of Empiricism. The need to prove lies on those that say it DOES represent reality. Too bad they cannot do that.

That's not direct observation, retard. Are you going to come up with anything to the fact I showed you don't even know who in history was a Skeptic?

OK good. a theory holding that the self can know nothing but its own modifications and that the self is the only existent thing :


Wong said that they believe in Nothing, no evidence. That defintion directly contradicts what he says over and over that i believe in no evidence. That is what i am saying i DO NOT believe in.

Don't need to, because empiricism gives us knowledge of the universe. If you don't believe the universe is real, that doesn't change the fact that empiricism does its job. I've already made this point several times, only to be met with deafening silence on your part.
