Philosophy: the favorite subject of pseudointellectuals everywhere.

I think it is great when people major in philosophy. They can ask me why I would like fries with that.

Exactly.

If the universe is all that there is, and science is saying that the universe is expanding, then what is the universe expanding into, if the universe is all that there is?

I failed this class in college.

I probably smoked too much.

my favorite one is,
what if i see the color blue in my view but other people see the same object as green, but we are told that the object is actually red, so we think that blue/green is red, but we actually see the colors different colors, but think they are the same.

then it wouldn't really matter, because we would call all the colors as we perceive them the same thing. For example, if I see a red object that I perceive as blue and you see green (but of course we don't know this), then we would both agree that the object is red, because we have been taught that that color is that color. Also, this question doesn't make very much sense simply because I'm preeeeeeeeeeeeety sure unless you're colorblind or your eyes are jacked up, they would pick up the light rays at the same correct frequencies as anyone else's.

I wonder if you and me see differing hues.
Is my red your blue
Or is my green your green too?
Ad if we do how would we discover this fact?
Even if we did would it have any impact?
I don't think it would affect us personally
But it would have ripple effects
Through the interior design industry.

If you were pushed down a escalator that was going up would you be falling down or up?

you would be falling down, and when you stopped, you would be getting up

This is a quote from Black Flag, and its an interesting set of questions.

If nothing is true, why believe anything at all?
If everything is permitted, why not chase your wildest dreams?

because some things are true and not everything is permitted...
