i recently studied cartesian skepticism (matrix/ brains in a vat) and solipsism.

and i read that the ideas are known to be self refuting because of language. and then they go on to mention wittgenstein. i read this on almost every article i read about the ideas.

so my question is: are the ideas universaly known to be self refuting and not to be taken seriousely? if this is the case then why is it that they say its "self refuting" yet they go onto state that the ideas can never be "proven or disproven"??

Especially nowadays, bloodier the movie the more box office hits. Is it just because it's entertaining or is there something more to it?

I think that our concept of God is as imperfect as our religions..... we need to rise above any specific religion and rigidities towards its narrow teachings, in order to attain a reasonable understanding of the Creator and the Creation!!

WHAT were they thinking? I heard the earth will suffer serious effects in about 10 years time. Do we deserve this? Now the older generation will die and leave the mess of global warming on our shoulders. People like Karl Marx had already warned of the resources being limited etc. But did anyone listen? NO. Some don't believe it exitst, some just don't care. What are we to do? I feel so frustrated. Everything you do now has a consequence of some kind....even if you choose to ignore it, they're still firing it to your face.

Even if global warming is a myth...why can't we just take small steps to stop it. I mean, one could never be too safe! What I hate most of all is that the older generation is scornful towards the younger generation for being too carefree when it is they who messed the earth up! Young people are neurologically wired to be a little more carefree but anyways, putting aside this fact, why can't we work together?

What do you do when you feel lonely and that you need someone in your life?

I hate this feeling. Not that I am looking for a relationship. Just companionship (nonsexual of course). How do I go about it? BTW I'm 19 bout to be 20.

Now a days you cant really trust guys and it sucks that I have to deal with that. I am a good girl and I just don't understand why I cannot be appreciated for the kind person that I am

The darkness in our minds is not what God had in his well layed out plans. Free will he bestowed onto us that we may choose the path, let those who see darkness fear the light and rightfully so. Let those who see the light entrust a secure and rightous path to those who seek enlightenment.

God loves you, he loves you so.

My second question is about opposites. I hear many people say that to have peace on must have war, cold - heat, etc.But I was wondering who defines opposites but ourselves. Arent opposites defined by our own limitation and what are opposites but two sides of the same coin. like cold a lesser form of heat. So who says opposites need each other? the universe we live in is a dynamic one, so opposites are understood through variations of intensity, like different levels of frequencys. So who can say there are two set of opposites that need each other to exist? who says that it is not more like a circle where there are no bounderies, we define the bounderies? I understand that to know cold one needs heat, but where does heat end and cold start?
good and bad, are they not the result of each other? if one has no good, one has no bad, so peace is a reaction of war, or rather peace is war made less intense? could the concept or abstract of good and bad be destroyed, and would that not be peace

like for me my final words would probably be something like "i'm sorry", "forgive me", or maybe depending on who i was with..."i love you"
