There are two types of assumptions: those that stick with you throughout your life and those you change for some reason(s).
In my title, I'm referring to those sticky assumptions. It's my assumption that everyone has sticky assumptions of some sort. The assumptions that undergo change I don't regard as true assumptions whereas the sticky assumptions seem to be unique to an individual when you consider all of that person's sticky assumptions.

Only if you have no conscious awareness. Microbes probably aren't big assumers. For us, a list of assumptions would be almost endless.
That's only an assumption. It is still possible that he is not.A_Seagull wrote:You are assuming that you are alive. Whereas I know for a fact that you are a bot.
