But it's kind of wishy-washy, too. Glo: For all I know the wishy-washy possibilities seem likely to be a presumptive conclusion, circumstantially indicated by your own admission of doubt here, lending credence to the feasibility of the original hypothesis. If it's only "kind of" then it isn't definitely. > >Dan #2 (in alternate probabilistic spacetime continuum): But maybe that's > okay. Glo: Odds are, if there is an alternative spacetime continuum, that it might have a better chance of being considered such. > >>>We need a word that is definitively nonagreeing, nondisagreeing, and > neither against agreeing nor against disagreeing. > >D#2: But maybe not. G: There is reason to believe that this likelihood also presumptively has a greater probability of occurring, all things being considered. > >>> This nonposition > should be asserted strongly without asserting anything, and not > weakly either. Glo: Whatever side you choose, I can argue for it or against it, whichever may help you arrive at the perception of ultimate unrefutability. > >D#2: Maybe we could agree to disagree about the way to assert it, thus > never asserting or not asserting it Glo: If you will, I will. > >>>It seems to me that we should next find a word > that neither exists nor doesn't exist, and > is not opposed to either existence nor nonexistence. > >D#2: Isn't *possibly* such a word? Glo: God willing, only in the next life will we do this. > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
