How do i know im not mentally challenged?

So you're argument would be that everyone who is mentally challenged has necessarily eaten their own computer.? That seems unlikely
 
I actually read about soemthing like that a while ago. There are some people who see waaaay more colors (like 99million more) as "normal" people. It has been proved somewhere in the UK with some lady. They said it isnt even that seldom.

So Op, I guess we are all somehow "misevolved" :D
 
lol.

i used to think maybe i saw colours differently than other people all the time.

but i think if you are thinking about if youre retarded, then your retarded.

/unrelated...

But going off of your original argument.. "For something to exist, does there need to be an equal and opposite form of non-existence?"

When we die you believe that we are extinguished from life. does that mean the same rules apply for our creation? That as our life ends a life has to begin, due to the equal and opposite form of existence necessary.

If everything has an equal and opposite reaction, then during the big bang, there had to be an opposite of it. This means that there was a "suction", if you will, of a universe. While ours was created another must have been destroyed. And as some speculate that the big bang happened from a black hole collapsing or whatever, and everything being sucked into the black hole, we are the product on the other side. What happens if we begin being sucked into a black hole, and the big bang happens again on the other side... How do we know when it will happen?

And no I never wish I had not been born. I love my life and though so much is unknown that's the fun in finding the answers.
 
this goes through my mind every day. Also, Marcus the mongoloid is my new nickname for you, man
 
I have thought about this many times before, I thought I was the only one who considered this.

but I've come to the conclusion that I'm not quite retarded. at my school I may be on the lower end of grades and stuff, and I feel like most of my friends like me because of all the weird retarded shit I do and say, but I'm actually smart when I need to be. and I'm too athletic to be retarded.

-GORILLA, OUT.
 
K maybe I'm not mental but instead just the star of some Truman Show like thing. Are you guys all in on it? Am I ruinin the show right now?
 
I think about colors like that, what if the colors I see ate completely different than oter people but I just associate the names, so I see green as some conoletly different color but still call it green. Shits cray
 
As it turns out, you are the only real person with free will. The Creator of the universe created a new creature (you) to see how free will would work. Everyone around you is a robot programmed to act a certain way so that the Creator can see your response. The mailman? Mail delivering robot. The President of France? Leader bot. Your cat? Cat-bot.

So far, having seen the silly questions you post on internet forums, he isn't impressed.

Careful, he may just destroy the earth and start over if you do anything dumber.
 
what if... the solar system was an atom, the sun was the collection of neutrons and protons, and the planets were electrons?

and what if every atom in our world was a solar system in another dimension?
 
Are you suggesting that our senses do not tell us about things in as themselves? What would we know of intelligible forms or an external world.

"philosophers have discussed this same shit for thousands of years."

Really? You give assertions that philosophy does not progress and build upon earlier work. It could be said that all of Philosophy is a work of ethics. I will agree that philosophy hitherto the Renaissance was nothing but foot notes on Plato.

Descartes did a good job dismissing early moral skepticism, but skepticism is can come about from many other areas of philosophy. Nihilism is an existential form of skepticism and we have logical skepticism in every form of logic.

"If you can read and actually comprehend" (a pretentious statement I might add) Kant, you would see that he tears apart reason and suggests an external world. Moore gives a proof of an external world, 'here is one hand, here is another hand'. We can also look at his logic which accounts for the 'Moore shift.

Where S is a subject, sp is a skeptical possibility, such as the brain in a vat hypothesis, and q is a knowledge claim about the world:

Common Skeptical Argument

S doesn't know that not-sp, then S doesn't know that q

S doesn't know that not-sp

Therefore, S doesn't know that q

Moore's Logic

If S doesn't know that not-sp, then S doesn't know that q

S knows that q

Therefore, S knows that not-sp

Skepticism has it's place.

I have made large jumps in my arguments, but if you wish to see a long drawn out proof I would love to. I have made large leaps through philosophical eras to prove that OP does not know if he is retarded or not.

 
because we named a lamp a lamp. it doesnt have some pre-given name that we discovered like a fossil or some shit.

and because if you have 2 apples and then get 2 more apples, you have 4 apples, not 5. its really pretty basic math...
 
this...is the twilight zone.

im glad you bumped this thread, it makes me laugh everytime i see it
