I don't think "Stuff that sounds real cumputery and shit if you've seen Matrix" is what bots are going for these days :P

Anyway, moving on.

Hume was an empirist, but while there are lots of funky things we can feel in the world (colors, shapes, feelings, stuff), he didn't believe we could ever see or feel ourselves which is the subject to these things. And thus we couldn't assume the um, ourselves (having bad time with words here) is constant and not changing, and thus we couldn't say the world was a constant. So he basically believes that anything we can see exists, and nothing else. Causality doesn't exist, because we can't see it. And we can't see laws of nature, so they don't exist either. Can you see where this leads?

He basically happened to kill whole empirism thing with his tough questions (though Kant managed to explain some of them, at least) and extreme view to the subject. So, hence we can't ever be sure that slainvet indeed is a human and not a bot, because we can't see the actual reasoning; we just see the text that could mean anything.

P.S: Philosophy is fun. Time to study more of it.

Oh god no. You will be the worst person to study that. *hands over ears* lalalalala
don't unban, he has hard coded userid bypasses everywhere.

Ah, allright. I got the binary bit. I just assumed you were throwing zeroes and ones about at random, not writing in any actual language. Which made me think that you were trying to sound computery, "because computers are really just zeroes and ones," as if there are actual zeroes and ones inside computers :P

Ah, okay. I got the idea that what he was saying was that, eg, the only cause and effect we can be real sure of, is the one going on in our mind; that when you see some cause, you excpect some effect, because that's what happened when you saw something similar earlier. I either didn't get that he was arguing that casuality didn't exist at all (just that we can't know for sure), or it has something to do with me only having read a tiny bit of what he's written. I'll argue it's the latter, for the sake of seeming smarter.

I don't mind studying philosophy. Some of it's quite interesting. What I mind is the exams in such courses, as all the exams I've done previously, on university-level, are like "Solve this, and answer this bit, and write a program that does this thing!," while my philosophy-esque one was "Answer this!," but really you fail if you just answer it and don't go on about various vaguely related stuff as well :P

Edit: I can't type.
Re: Are you human?
there is ALOT of text in this forum so... im going to break the stereotype (lets see a bot do that) and write a short simple and properly written message oh and also not use any quotes i never did like shakespear (unlike a bot i dont make much sense )
Re: Are you human?
It happens.

Re: Are you human?
I can't think of any way to prove I'm human, but even if I'm not, does it make any difference? I mean, we can still be friends, even if I am a robot, and we all react the way a human would, so it's no different, that is, if we aren't human. So basically, If we are robots, maybe robots are just the normal life form for the planet Earth.
