Why is there something rather than nothing?
Everything can be defined... which means "nothing" can never exist.

How do you explain human nature?
An oxymoron. Its the desire for order within the chaos of life.

What happens to a person at death?
Hopefully something wonderful. But I'm ready for disappointment and the smell of sulfur!

What makes you hope for "something wonderful"? Why do you think you will be disappointed?
The romantic in me would like to believe in a heaven/hell. But the realist in me thinks you just vanish. The strange idea is that the energy in your brain has to go somewhere. Energy doesn't just stop. Does it dissipate or move on?


How do you determine what is right and wrong?
Usually with logic... if its faulty or not is the question.

How do you determine if your logic is faulty?
All you can do is keep an open mind. Listen to opposing points of views, and always understand that you could be wrong. After all the data is gathered, processed and interpreted, a decision is made. Whether you care if its right or wrong is another question.



How do you know that you know?
The only true knowledge is that you know nothing.

If the only true knowledge is that you know nothing then how do you know that you know nothing?
You don't.


What is the meaning of history?
History is a wonderful thing. If only it were true. Its all about perception and who hold the pen.
