Poll: What are you sure about?

[TheEndlessSleep]

No, I am not 100% sure about anything at all. Nothing is 100% possible. Some things are more probable than others, some things are even close to 100% probable, but nothing is 100% probable.

Life.
You are breathing.
You need sleep/food/water.
Everybody will die at some point.
Humans exist.

These are all certain, and I could go on.

Are there any ways that you can think of that would make these things not true? I certainly can. Therefor, by the simple fact that that we can think of a situation (however absurd) when these things could not be true, they are not 100% possible. They can be 99% possible, they can be 99.9999999999% percent possible, but they can never be 100% possible.

Only if you are talking about them as a universal constant, which they are not.

However, at this very moment in time, they are all absoloute certainties and are 100% possible.

I'm 100% sure that I love my cats and that they are awesome!
....stop looking at me like that!

 

[The_Blue_Rider]

I have a penis, Im incredibly certain

EDIT: I suppose that must look funny when my avatar is Justin Bieber xD

 

[The Mighty Thesaurus]

I am sure that I exist in some form or another. Everything else is guesswork.

And math, but that doesn't flow as neatly.

 

[Nightmare-Child]

That I have just made the biggest mistake of my life. And the funny thing is, I am pretty sure i've made it before.

 

[jedilord08]

i am sure the cake is a lie.

There is no god, or any similar entity.

there is only one God and this person wrong. Also history is something we will never fully understand.

that you are correct.

thanks for not flaming my behind on that.

Likewise with you, you can also not be a hundred percent sure there is a higher being just as he can't be sure nothing exists..

People seem to not understand this thread very well.

really i am sure that I AM hundred percent on this.

 

[wfpdk]

I'm sure, sure, certainly seems subjective.

 

[Indeterminacy]

I am 100% certain about statements of my phenomenal world being some way or another as I would describe them at present. This includes most finite arithmetic, statements of phenomenal consciousness and sensory experience, and analytic truths concerning the relationship between different abstract definitions.

I am less than 100% certain that this world in any way reflects the noumenal world, with a particular mathematical, objective or platonic structure. However, I am fairly confident that this latter point matters considerably less than people think it does, by virtue of the strength of instrumentalism.

Stuff works. That's real enough.

 

[Fwee]

Everything good in my life has already happened in my life and is now gone, while I remain here waiting to die.
Of this, I am 100% sure.

 

[Bebus]

That I am content right now. I have a beer and a bag of deep fried pork skin, putting my life on cruise control roaming random forums, and unless something untoward should happen, I am sure I am content at this single moment in time.

And really, does anything else matter?

i dont like to flame, especially when i agree.

 

[Brandon237]

I just thought about what to type here... that is all, everything else could be a lie... My cat could be a fiery demon, the sky could actually poisonous on my planet but in this simulation it is safe to go outside... I sleep when my real self... is awake and not hooked up to the machine...

You just screwed me up. I LOVE IT!

Perception = reality?

Vegetarians by choice are really stupid and impressionable.

All of them?

Everyone is impressionable and arguably stupid when compared to some high standard.

Vegetarians are stupid relative to whom?

They are stupid relative to people with warts. What do you think man? They are stupid relative to non-vegetarians!

All of them?

yep, otherwise they wouldn't be vegetarians.

What makes someone stupid about not eating meat? Why do you even care?

I assume you're talking about choice vegetarians, and not vegetarians who are unable to eat meat due to medical reasons?

Yes I am I said that in my original post way back
Humans brains began to grow when we started to eat red meat.
The economy of Australia is highly dependent on its beef (my home country)
Vegetarians are a huge pain to cater for at any parties, and always whine if there's no vegetarian option.
Joke I heard:
A hipster goes into a steakhouse, flicks through the menu, and asks in a patronizing tone "Ugh, don't you have any vegetarian options?"
The chef replies "Yeah we do - you can piss off!" ^^

Interesting. Well, yeah, I agree with what some of you say - but I do admire some vegetarians who have the rhetoric that you shouldn't eat something you aren't comfortable with killing. It does make sense to me.
