Clem asks Oct 21, 2008 03:38PM if a tree falls in a forest, but no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound? Indeed, did it even fall?
Clem says Oct 21, 2008 04:21PM it's just a philosophical question lol, which i got from Serial Experiments Lain. very thought-provoking questions actually, and arguable
Clem says Oct 21, 2008 04:22PM what it's basically trying to say is, i guess, if everybody else don't remember you, do you even exist? actually i was reminded of this when
Clem says Oct 21, 2008 04:23PM i read suet's latest blog entry haha. xmasbaby but see, no one was around to hear the tree fall, so how did you know the tree even falls?
Clem says Oct 21, 2008 04:23PM ok i should stop for a while, my head already has a headache from earlier and i've an exam in 8 hours time. gonna sleep now sigh
easterbaby says Oct 21, 2008 04:26PM if no one died in 911, the entire city was not there then, did it still happen?
easterbaby says Oct 21, 2008 04:27PM but like u said, it's a phil qn so there are many perspectives on which u can attack this qn
Clem says Oct 21, 2008 10:23PM i'm not going to argue this since we can argue our sides till the cow comes home.. since this question is very open-ended. just as an add-on
Clem says Oct 21, 2008 10:24PM to my 'side', we can liken this to extra-terrestrials - why do some of us suppose that they exist even though no one has actually seen them?
Clem says Oct 21, 2008 10:25PM bleh i'm probably making a weak case, gonna go off soon to face my paper sigh.
