Sounds like a good idea. I just might.

I want to call it quits after statements like this.

To me that statement was a joke. I am sorry if it conflicted with your ego.

@ De Silentio:

I thought both existed, that is the point of the phenomena, if you except that the noumena exists, how can you deny the phenomena?

The phenomena are merely what is percieved of the noumena. Therefore it is not real. It comes into life by using ones ow frame of reference.

I think you would have been better off saying that Aedes thinks the noumana does not exist, and you think it does. ( Note, I am not saying Aedes thinks one way or the other, I'm merely restating what Arjen said.)

No, I am leaving it as is.

If this thread isn't back on topic quickly then I'm going to close it so that we can take a breath and start again some other time.

Perhaps you and Didy shouldn't have gone off topic?
I do thank you for the discussion by the way. It was a nice, alneit unfruitfull one.

And there we are.
