First you said topic, now you said topic title. According to you, the discussion should limit itself only to the title. That's even cuter.


How lazy. It would have been interesting that you dealt with an argument to prove that my belief is wrong, but I can easily guess that would have proven to be a very difficult task for you.

Infinite laziness and incompetence I see.


I think I heard that argument before. Hmm...oh wait, I remember, that's what they said to Copernicus and Galileo. Conventional wisdom, they said.


Yep. All those already dead philosophers that came after the philosophers that conveyed your very same argument of knowledge being limited only to experience. Try to live another 300 years to see if you finally catch up.
Your self centered-ness screams absurdity!
And you crawled back from under your rock to say THAT?
How many times do I have to tell you, I'm a mushroom, not a salamander.
But to answer your concern... Though I seriously doubt that's what it's actually about. ;-)
Some deserve my long winded rebuttals and some don't. Though I assure you that contained in those few words is much more intent than is apparent to at least you! ;-)

Seriously can't you see that you are shooting yourself int he foot?

I am the one that knows, and I know what I know. I also note that much of what I know is agreed by others who also know what I know. BTW Kant's dead, but I don't think he is going to disagree with me on a point of knowledge. The thing in itself is another thought altogether.

So do you think this applies to you, or just me?
presumably you are not just insulting me as an ignoramus but making a claim about knowledge generally. In which case how do you "KNOW" this: "The knowledge that you, the knower, knows is not actually known because you cannot know if it exists," (QED; your foot is bleeding and you will need help to get out of this thread.)

You only believe you know because you fear not knowing, just ask the members of the Spanish Inquisition, the witch hunters, the doctor bleeders, the flat earth knowers, the contrails are poison people, the moonwalk was a hoax believers, not to mention gods, demons, ghosts, faeries, pixies, trolls, and leprechauns! Socrates is lost on you, 'I only know that I know nothing.' You fear not knowing, so you believe that which serves your purpose, and that's about it! ;-)

Greta made a very valid point, she was right...to question whether the knower can be known. Yes, Knowledge exists, it is known as every thought,concept, belief and idea... but can that which knows every concept be known...? and if so, by who?

That's what Greta meant... knowledge exists, identified by thought, which triggers more thought, and more knowledge, but where is the thinker, where is the knower. Can that one be known? Knowledge informs the known IS what it is. Wisdom reveals the known is NOT what it is.

No one thinks and no one knows. In other words everything and nothing is thinking and knowing...the knower and the known are one, they cannot be separated without splitting in two.

Now, have you ever seen the exact moment where the knower starts and the known ends...? ....a bit of a silly idea isn't it?

YOU INSULT YOURSELF HOBBES....

PS...the female is smarter than the male. Get over it dog.

I'll wait for her response, not your garbled interpretation of what you think she meant.

Interesting use of the word "seriously", seemingly not a knowing one. Since the knower is not known then the knowing is not a knowing but an unknowing. An unknowing knowing, as opposed to a knowing unknowing, which is a very bad thing indeed - a real no know, one might say.

You keep saying the same thing; the knower is not known; which is rubbish.
Ever heard of "Know thyself"?
The rest of what you say, thus makes no sense.
The following sentence is nonsense;"Since the knower is not known then the knowing is not a knowing but an unknowing."
it's a non sequitur and starts with a false premise.

I know. However, an unknown unknower would comprise a double negative, resulting in a positive knower but, since we know that nobody knows anything (as the knower doesn't really know what the knower thinks s/he knows) then the unknowing unknower knows that a knower's knowledge knows no knowing, only unknowing ... know what I mean?

I know that you know that she knows that you know that I know you're two=timing me, la la la.

But if they know that I know that you know that she knows that you know that I know, I know that I'm the knower of the know unknown knowingness, this means that I know something, and you don't know if he knows that you know about nothing too.

Now I know that you know! Thing is, while they know that you know that I know that she knows that I know that you know, you must also know that I know that she shows what everyone knows - that we don't know anything (apart from the things we know, which we don't really know). Your latter claim is, in essence, as unknowing knowers, we know almost everything about nothing and almost nothing about everything, which is still more than most.

To ''know thyself'' is to know ''you don't know'' ....ONLY Knowledge informs (not knowing) as the known...prior to knowledge known... YOU ARE / NOT KNOWING.

If you think backwards to before the ''thought'' of you APPEARED....WHO ARE YOU?...prior to ''thought'' ..you WERE / ARE not knowing)... you had to be other wise you could never have been informed by KNOWLEDGE aka a 'thought'....and in the instant the 'thought' appears....there is a SHIFT from not knowing pure awareness without an object ..to known object.

The KNOWLEDGE is not the knower...in other words the known is not the knower. The knower is ONLY EVER the known...which doesn't know.

Meaning there can ONLY be one knower /no knower in the exact same moment NOW..aka this immediate not knowing KNOWING... You are that knowing that cannot be known.

And that is the wisdom of the wise one.

Ego cannot know what's already this knowing. How many more times, ego can't show up to the show. The show is already showing, there was only ever ONE admission...but I guess where ego ..I go..but for the grace of God go I... so I guess your allowed along too, but not really two, being that your just my shadow...
