| Quote (Maya @ Aug. 02 2010,14:28) | I thought that tgpeeler was one of the more intelligent posters at UD, but it turns out that s/he can bring the stupid with the best of them:
| Quote | | If materialism is true, then I could not know of abstract things. But I do know of abstract things. Therefore, materialism is false. |
ETA: This deserves a Babbage Honorable Mention. "I am not able rightly to apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." |
Reminds me of this thread, in which tgpeeler wrestles with the concept of infinity.
A quote:
| Quote | | I’m curious about the concept of an “infinite” number of universes. This phrase gets thrown around all the time but the very idea of it is incoherent to me. How can there be an actual infinite number of anything physical? If these universes are physical, and at least one of them is, the one I live in, then I can always add one more to the count of how ever many there are. Ergo, no infinite number of universes. |
