Awesome! Pretend for 10 seconds that it is you asking yourself "Who am I?"

When I ask myself the question "Who am I?" I answer to myself "I am me".
When other people ask me the question "Who are you?" I answer to them "I am Logik."

What do you answer to yourself, and to others?

Did you read what I wrote in regards to what the answer is to the question Who am 'I'?

If yes, then what did you get from that?
If no, then i suggest if you want to know, then read that.

Who cares what you tell you?

After all, with the amount of times you use a coin to obtain answers, you might have used a coin to obtain that answer also.

Wow.

It would depend on the question, OBVIOUSLY.

You already know the question AND the answer. That's what you said.

Now tell us the answer.

After all our to and fro, back and forth discussing, you still have NOT understood what I have been saying.

You can take that as being ALL MY FAULT COMPLETELY.

I do NOT know how to communicate with "logik".

I am sorry. I cannot accept this answer.

According to Aumann's agreement theorem two rational agents can always agree.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aumann%27 ... nt_theorem

I am rational, so unless you find a way to agree with me we might have to conclude that you are irrational.

Is that that the answer to the question "Who am I?".

This doesn't make ANY sense!

So would that mean ALL rational agents can always agree, ALSO?

But you have concluded that I am irrational already. Relatively speaking, a fair while ago ALSO, am I correct?

So, whoever the 'we' is that you are referring to, 'we' might have to, or already have, concluded that I am irrational.

I have done no such thing! I have concluded that I am rational. That does not mean that you are irrational.

The falsifiable hypothesis is that you are irrational.
You could falsify this hypothesis and prove rationality by finding a way to agree.

On the balance of probabilities. Pending falsification.

Me? I am still at 50:50. You are either rational or you are irrational. I have no evidence either way.

That's what my coin said.

I did ask you if I am correct? But you neglected to add this in, and respond to that part.

I have concluded that I am rational. [/quote]

Did you use reason, or just deduced that without reason?
According to your own logic, you unfortunately can NOT justify this response.

Also, are you aware that just about ALL human beings conclude that that they, themselves, are rational?

A human trait is to LOOK AT the world and think/believe that what they SEE, conclude and deduce is rational, but "others" who do NOT conform/agree to one's own ideals, views, beliefs, et cetera, IS irrational.

So, you have concluded that the 'I' is rational, is that correct?

To agree on what exactly?

I ALREADY KNOW a way to agree.

Surely a rational agent like you, especially one who is logik, would KNOW a way to agree.

Furthermore, if I agree with you that I am irrational, then does that mean I am rational, because we are two agents agreeing, or that I am irrational, because we are two agents agreeing?

Then that leads to; if you agree that I am irrational, because we are two agents agreeing, and so if I am irrational and you are agreeing with me, then are you irrational also. Because to agree with one who is irrational could be seen to be irrational also. This could then lead down one of those "black holes" that you were referring to earlier, which was also derived from one of those "theories" that you like to quote and use. And, if I am not mistaken, was it this same "theorem" also?

And, who/what is the 'we' that you say agrees with you?

Is the 'we' you AND A coin, or is it some thing else?

You can't agree with me on something that I don't believe, but if you confess irrationality - we can only take your word for it.

But I haven't told you what my actual hypothesis is (nor am I going to).

Why give away my hand in a poker game, eh? :)
