Once more, you miss the point. But then again, does a point really exist?

Insofar as I exist, yes - I am a collection of an infinite number of points in Euclidean 3-space. So is the desk I am sitting at. I have points galore at my disposal.

If you don?t believe anything ? do you ?know? anything?

Maybe it's because I can't really know anything that I believe things. Or maybe not.

Hey, how do you know if you?re not just making stuff up?

The past is a fiction designed to account for any disparity between my current surroundings and my current state of mind. How do I know that I am just making stuff up?

How come I can know it but you can?t?

Do you know it, or just believe it?

Free thought scratches in vain at the fleas of conformity.

It is sad to watch.

Listen to yourself. You don’t believe anything so you are in essence the epitome of the devil’s advocate. If you want to discuss something, come back when you believe or know something. Until then:

These are your only points.
