Debate - perceived reality

[punkncat]

This thread is very "Matrix"-esce. You sound like you are trying to convince Neo that in your mind everything is possible.

The point is that our bodies experiance our physical limitations letting our mind know what is possible and what is not. Generally through pain reflex. I don't care of you are convinced or not. Your body tissue is softer than a brick and thus cannot overcome the physical limitation and walk through it.

Its like trying to convince an egg that it will not break on the edge of the pan. Physical reality MAKES it break.

The realities of our life experiance form our perception. You see someone fall out of a tree flapping their arms, fall to the ground and break a leg. Perception or no, you have just learned that regardless of your desire, humans don't fly un-aided.

This is why I wasn't going to post anymore, you guys took all the fun out of the argument.

If you look at my first reply I am all for one, physical reality. But for the sake of argument, or fun, I tried to look at it from Lohman446's viewpoint and prove him wrong.

An open mind is a free world, have a little fun.

Agreeing with Duzzy on this. There is a purpose behind philosophical debate, and often you take an argument that you may nto agree with just to see how far you can run with it, how strong you can make it. I have heard very good arguments on the existence of god for instance that had no basis on weather the arguer actually beleived it. Its an exercise in logic, in cricital thinking. Philosophy, at least the study of it and participation in it, to many people serves a purpose more valuable than the actual answers - it teaches slightly different ways of thinking, and of consideration.
