is anything absolute?

Question

even math: unless two apples are exactly the same - 1 apple plus 1 apple doesn't add up to exactly two, right?

Answer 1

Gosh who new honorbright24 had such a sense of humour!!Anyways i was just stalking honourbright24 who's name i have not yet decoded (and i will) and i came across your fine question Mr. X

1 apple + 1 apple WILL ALWAYS = 1 apple + 1 apple
and will never, no matter what the conditions, = anything else!

And, only the absolute is absolute
and anybody who trys to tell you different is missing the point.

Except for the esteemed honorbright24 ... who's buying you and I, a martini, when she wins the ten points for the freakin clever albeit minimalist answer!

Answer 2

Math is one of the last holdouts to absolutism. Everything else are shades of grey (true there are some really dark shades like Adolph Hitler, but not for the most part).
Especially with people, we can't know everything; we rely on "we have a really good idea that....."
Absolute positions almost always end badly.

Answer 3

"no, nothing is absolute"
-what a stupid answer, or attempt at an impossible question because, in essence, each answer invalidates itself, as saying that nothing is absolute is an absolute statement. There is only a non-answer to the paradoxical question

Answer 4

If you hang your hat on absolutes in life, you'll always be dissappointed, the only absolute in this world we live in is change.

Answer 5

Any thing is absolute, nether the mankind stupidity wish for the guns.

Answer 6
