Milk is the number one bulking agent of men everywhere.

Yeah, I meant to tell you. that pregnant cow I sold you? It was just a fat bull. So… yeah… that’s not milk you drank.

Yeeuurgh!
You,sir,are a bounder and a cad!
I thought it tasted salty.
The fact it only had one udder should have been a giveaway…

I’m starting to read a book about evolutionary psychology. Interesting stuff, I hope to finish it soon.

the purpose of life is

to rock out with your cock out

I’m not sure I understand your reasoning here. In a situation where there are two possibilities about which one knows absolutely nothing, logic does not dictate anything at all. Logic has nothing to do with your ignorance or lack thereof.

I think what you mean to say is that in a situation where there are only two possibilities about which one knows nothing, then a claim on either side is EQUALLY VALID. Equally valid in the sense that neither belief has anything going for them, so they’re on equal footing.

But that certainly does not imply that there’s a 50-50 chance and they’re equally likely. The nature of the world determines what is likely about it, not the ignorance or wisdom of its inhabitants.

Since we cannot absolutely know one way or another, it’s not ignorance so much as a condition of the mathematics. If there is an actual, absolute, correct answer, seeing as there is no way of knowing it, from any given two choices they must be equally true. I understand what you’re saying, but you’re assuming there is a right answer that we just don’t know. I’m assuming that because we can never know the answer (at least in our present state), that ignorance is a law of the argument, not a variable. If that makes sense.

Like Schroedinger’s cat, only you aren’t given the option to look in the box, ever. Remove the possibility of your intervention(because your intervention is impossible) and both options are not only equally likely, but they must be equally true, as there is no absolute truth to be gained no matter how much time passes. It’s parity by default.

Make any sense?

Great post - thanks for that. I have a hard time understanding how the discussion could be meaningful if you don’t assume that there is in fact a correct answer (but we just don’t know it), though. Isn’t that the basis of inquiry?

That’s the thing. I don’t believe the discussion IS meaningful. On the contrary, it’s equivalent to taking the proverbial piss.

Which is why I don’t much care for bigger-picture philosophy.

The purpose of life is to be Das Übermensch.
So try not to fuck it up you bunch of peons. I don’t care what your freshmen biology teacher told you the purpose of life was.

Clearly a bunch of horse shit. If there was such a thing, stupid people would die off.

Stupid people do die off, but they also procreate as well at a much faster rate then smart people. It is dumb to have a whole bunch of kids unless you are financially and emotionally stable, however stupid people ignore this fact and pro create anyway at a very alarming rate.

Oh my god, fitness guys talking philosophy? Even a figure girl and a Philosophy major, this makes me SO much happier than it should. Take me now!

Whatever you say, Sir Freddie Ayer. :wink:

So they’re not dying off. Everyone dies. Only natural selection makes a trait die out through total extinction.

Bacteria are stupid and reproduce at an alarming rate. And their Darwinian fitness kicks ass. That, and they’ve been around for ages.

Evolutionary psychology deals with the whys surrounding our various psychological attributes, it is not darwinism of the mind.

the porpoise of life is to avoid the dolphin of death

(sorry, just trying to mark this thread so i can come back to it)

the purpose of life is to live. The secret is out.

To crush your enemies, see them driven before you, and to hear the lamentation of their women.
