Doesn't matter. I am 35 (hypotheticlly) whether you know or not. Correct?
No you are not. You are 14 and using adolescent reasoning. Not to be insulting but, you are asking us to make a leap of faith and trust you. Take you at your word.
A thing is a thing but, how are we to know that thing is and what it means without proof?
If you only want us to accept that a thing is a thing, it exists by itself and dormant until proof is delivered and said proof examined and found to unprovable.
Then we have to ask what makes up that thing.
Like air and where does it come from and what are it’s components.
I notice you conventiently failed to answer a similar question from last night.
So you premise is a thing is a thing, it can be neither red or green, it is what it is?
I already agreed you are 35 and presume it to be so until proven otherwise.
Now I want to test that assumption. May I?
Okay, I don’t want to overburden your undercapitalized intellect but, a fact exists only when proven
A fact is a pragmatic truth, a statement that can, at least in theory, be checked and confirmed. Facts are often contrasted with opinions and beliefs, statements which are held to be true, but are not amenable to pragmatic confirmation.
Your childish intellect is under appreciated, as you know, and I have posited questions to ascertain your claim of a “Fact” which cannot be, until proven as evidence to others that the thing exists. Until then, your claim that you are 35 is not a fact, it is a thing you have uttered with absolutely no benefit to us, without unassailable proof of the fact, by way of evidence.
You probably heard this as a kid. There is a place called Africa and it has lions, elephants, giraffe’s and a Serengeti. Now, not having been there, how are we to know that indeed, it is a fact, that Africa and things I described exist?
