That's it. The universe and all it's parts are a huge giant logic.

No. IMHO

If it's not logic, then what is it?

We are in discussion, not debate. Tell me that you accept debate and I will answer with more.

It's a free option thread. I think, anything goes.

The 3 classical laws of logic is about something in a sense for a limited time and space. They are not about everything.

Never heard of it.

 

[mikkel_the_dane]

Never heard of it.

Google the 3 classical laws of logic. And come back if you have any questions.

No, everything is not logical.

Sure it is. We just don't understand it's logic yet.

 

[mikkel_the_dane]

Sure it is. We just don't understand it's logic yet.

Je pense, donc je suis.

What can I really know -- what can I be absolutely certain of? Apparently, not much. Does the world exist? Is anything in it "real," and if so is it real as it appears or real in some other way?

Descartes was trying to answer that question. And the answer he finally came down to is this:

"There is one thing that I think I can know with absolute certainty -- and that is that there is a mind thinking this thought, at this time."

Oddly, it is the only statement, made in his "Method of Doubt," to survive his methodic doubt.

If you remove the "i" as special then you get: Right now at this time something is going on. That is it in the end. That "I" is not the same as I live in the world.
