these are some of the core questions that the field of philosophy, particularly existentialism, tries to explore. it takes the smartest dudes on the planet their entire lifetimes to even formulate the right questions, much less answer them. These questions delve into the nature of the self and consciousness, read some Sartre and some Siddhartha and forget about ever exempting the class.

He'll come up with a bunch of follow up questions that even I can not answer.

Language?

maybe?

>>610115216
1. Time. From the moment time ends, you're not there to witness it. So technically, there will be no end of time from humanity's point of vue.
2. Space. See George Lemaitre's theory of the big bang. Time works too (see 1.)
3. Life. By Life not having any value, I mean that you can't evaluate life. You can't put a price on it. You can't create life (by all means, you can encourage it by procreating or planting a seed i.e. but you can't give life to anything you want) and you can't keep it going forever. You do not know how much "life" you still have, and thus can't give it any value.
4. No idea
5. No idea but check out Descartes, you might find an answer amongst his ideas.
6. No idea but again, check out Descartes.

OP here. I got something but I think my shitty professor wouldn't admit that it's "kinda" correct.

1 and 2 can both be time for that there was no definitive start of time as no end to it either 3 is a trick question because everything has some kind of value even nothing which its value is 0 4 is kinda The same thing because the reason we have words it to put meaning into something simpler 5 and 6 are a little bit tricky but not hard.

>>610115216
>>610115216
the not needing to attend thing is a trick, if you can answer the questions you probably know enough enough to show up to class anyway

the answer is learning/teaching

>>610116586
no word has any value or meaning outside of our own perception. English words are worth diddly to a chink. Also there are an infinite number of ways to refer to something making one particular way no more meaningful than the last just like if we gave everyone an equal amount of money then money would be worth squat.

>>610117366
Are you sure? If yes, refer to 6.

>>610115216
Well, for 1 and 2 i guess you could try to use something like Zeno's paradoxes. There are infinite real numbers on ]0,1[, and you could go back or advance indefinitely and never find the beginning or the end of the set of numbers.

>>610116586
Descartes' answers to questions 5 and 6 involve super questionable proofs of God's existence though. IIRC he basically thinks that because God exists and because God is benevolent (which if you accept his proof God exists, his proof of this is actually pretty reasonable) you can trust things that you clearly perceive since God wouldn't lead you to be deceived.

fuck philosophy. I always beat my professors at their own games, but fuck was that a usless degree. philosophy at its core is one of 3 things; either circular logic (it is because it is) an attempt to derive meaning from life (there isn't really, we make meaning by creating, doesn't mean there is inherent meaning) or debate over whether a fact is a fact. i much prefer science.

Because you're all complete dumbshits who over evaluate everything

1 time
2 time since its an invention of men to correlate events
3 time, your time has no value since its relative to each other perception of their own existentialism
4 time the word itself has no material value, essence, or real form in the real of human existentialism
5 time: I know that I know because lessons that were thought for me to know a correlate event were taken part in a time sequence that determine a lesson that I learned through time example I know what time it is.
6 I know that I am sure because of time I'm sure that I know something about life since I've been taken into a time line were I have face existentialism of my own being making me sure that at this very own moment everything that I see is real and I am sure of it
I could go on but it's pretty basic

No. Infinity is an answer to exactly none of these questions.

>>610118865
Prove it u sad fuck
protip: you cant

>>610118958
value is a consturct, due to it infinity can have a value....

>>610118958
protip: You can use the key to left of the semi-colon to indicate omitted letters in a word, for example "can't"

Infinity isn't a number, it's an abstract concept. When asked for something that doesn't have an end, infinity is not a valid answer. Instead, use a set containing an infinite amount of numbers, for instance the integers. You would have to include negative numbers, otherwise 0 would be an 'end'. Alternatively, you could use a circle or some sort of cyclic function.

>>610115216
A circle has no end or beginning

How do I know I know? Simple memory and recall that's how I know I know.

Words don't exist if they have no meaning but they can mean nothing if you don't understand the meaning.

Long story short it's philosophy you can't fuckin fail all you need to do is argue your case

>>610119369
Thanks for proving my point you dumbshit who over evaluates everything
haha fucking dumbshit everywhere

>>610118958
Infinity isn't tangible, it's a word used to describe something we only believe is infinite.
2. Someone came up with that word to use it for its definition, so it has a beginning.
3. It's a word, it means something, this has value.
4. Again.
And the last two suck
I'm not that other guy btw

You know philosophy is there to help you think, roight?

>>610119442
>Long story short it's philosophy you can't fuckin fail all you need to do is argue your case
This.

1. A circle/infinity/eternity
2.same anwer, maybe a cirle/infinity are not correct but eternity i think is correct here
3.define value, this is purely subjective, in my or someone else's perspective anything could have no value
4.same as 3, it's the person you ask that interprets/gives a meaning to a word but in reality a word per se does not have any meaning/value until you condition it with something else. Usually by putting it in the same context over and over again.
5. You can't. For me that's a reason to not worry about it. We could for example not exist or only exist in a simulation. But does that really matter? Because what you perceive, for you personally is. And its more than likely not the truth or reality

6. See 5, you can't.

any questions?

1.Give something that doesn't have an end.
A circle.

2.Give something that did not have a beginning/started at nothing.
A circle.

3.Give something that doesn't even have any value.

4.Give a "word" that doesn't have a meaning/value.

There's a difference between over analysing something and simply saying the first thing that pops into your head.
There's a difference between over analysing something and telling someone else when they're clearly wrong.
There's a difference between some tween who's trying to be edgy and people who are willing to actually think about things.

You heard about this Amazon tribe that doesn't have a Notion of time. It's fuckin impossible to understand when something they're telling happened. Why the fuck wouldn't time have any meaning or value.

depends on your self esteem and bias, see previous answer, there is no way to be definitely sure about anything. one can be arguably sure about something but a certain percentage of that is just fooling yourself into being sure.

>>610119941
There is no word that has no meaning OP. Even words without a definition in Some way or another have meaning. Think about it. When I talk gibberish to you, there is a meaning and a reason behind me doing that. The same counts for the written form. Why would someone write down a word without a reason? With no reason? Than it still has meaning.

>>610120678
you woudnt, a point is a 1 dimensional object in 2 dimensional space (a paper or w/e) its only value is the location it is placed in and the yes/no question "does it exist"

i ask you, what is the width of a point? the Height? the length? etc etc...

points are mathematical concepts and do not have any dimensions themselves other then existing, they are the ideal "no end" object, even more then a circle since if one would look from the centre of a circle one would definitely find an end to it. (the line circumference)

>>610121087
/thread

>>610116586
Value is relative but this cannot be separated from the object itself. For the object comes into being through its value.

Well, it depends on what is meant. No one really knows the intricacies of the brain so well so that one can explain what exactly happens in the mind to make the mind classify something as knowledge. This isn't even understood for lower life forms. So I'll discard that approach.

On the other hand, you are a human who is self-aware and can presume, based on experience that others are too, eventhough you cannot "prove it". So when a fact is in your mind AND you are aware of it (these are not equivalent, by the way; you aren't aware of everything) we have a name for it. We call it knowing.

Finally, if the question is posed with a comeback in mind along the lines of "yes, but, maybe you're a brain in the jar, or someone manipulated your memories and yada yada yada", then it makes no sense to discuss anything. There's no point in trying to have a discussion with such a person (extreme skeptic or some post-modernist idiot who think nothing is defined etc)

There are some relevant proofs of similar concepts, particular in analysis.

18 yo here


1 & 2 for me refers to Hegel's dialectic. The idea is that world is in a constant dialectic into itself, that it loop over and over.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dialectic#Hegelian_dialectic

3 A moral act, as defined by Kant, is something that is done without seeking any interest. In a way, we can say that a moral act shouldn't have any value. However, such an act may not even exist.

4 What he want to say here is that there is no word that has no meaning or value. Hegel's opinion about it is that words are our thoughts, and that any words therefore can be associated with a thought. By definition, if a word didn't have any value, it woudln't be a word.

5 for me is about Husserl's phenomenology. Basically, he said "consciousness can only be consciousness of something". You can only know something, but it is impossible to you to know your "knowing"
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phenomenology_(philosophy)

6 it is a question about Freud. Basically, you can't be sure of anything, because you can't know what inconscious activity occurs in your spirit.
I agree with your professor. If you can answer (i.e. dissert, there is no specific answer to these questions) to 4 of them, you already know a lot about philosophy.

Zero or a loop works for all questions

If you mean String Theory or Loop Quantum gravity neither has been in any way proven. They are both actually just hypothesises atm.
We dont have a quantum theory of gravity therefore these are all speculations.

we can however measure expansion of galaxies and trace it back to the big bang. The big bang has three independent proofs.
Red shift - CMBR and the abundance of H and He in the universe.

Here ya go:

1. The universe does not have an end. Expansion and entropy keep its state constantly changing. Its absolute form will be a massive heat death, temperatures will reach absolute zero and all matter will cease to orbit but the universe will still exist.

2. The United States of America started from nothing, as did most countries and settlements. They were once purely thoughts that were eventually put into being through will.

3. Ad hominem insults have no value, instead of logically attacking an argument they instead attempt to emotionally damage a person. It has a purpose but no value.

4. Um is a meaningless and valueless word used as "silence filler" between thoughts. Literally any word can be used in its place and nothing would change.

5. I am confident in my knowledge because I have provided logical reasons as to why each something fulfills the requirements of each question.

6. I am sure that viewed in the context that I have provided that each something does indeed satisfy the requirement of the question. Viewing the questions in this way I am sure of my sureness.

Beautiful questions, anon! You will have a lot of fun in your class.

1.Give something that doesn't have an end.
The natural number series. On some interpretations, it exists as essentially stipulative. As it is stipulated that the number series is generated from a recursive function which can always be re-applied to each successor, it essentially has no end.

2.Give something that did not have a beginning/started at nothing.
You can give a maximally inclusive definition of existence, and then challenge your professor to provide you with an empirically sound account of the beginning of all matter/the Multiverse that does NOT use some pre-existent process or material. He won't be able to, and thus you win by default as "anything existent" is automatically presupposed in any non-gibberish account.

3.Give something that doesn't even have any value.
According to nihilists, anything. But failing that, be a smartarse and reference the "context principle", invoking any unsaturated term or name of which nothing is predicated. It is only in the context of a complete function that a word has value, and therefore all names that comprise part of an incomplete function are semantically valueless.

4.Give a "word" that doesn't have a meaning/value.
Give him the same answer, suggesting that you're a "semantic realist" or something along those lines.

5."How do you know, that you know?".
You don't. Tell him the question is factive, and ask him in return when he stopped beating his wife.

6."How sure are you that you are sure?".
Same answer as 5.

Happy philosophizing my friend!

They do without resorting to uncertainties like differences in experience and personal values. If you focus only on our shared experience of each response then they are entirely logical answers.

>1.Give something that doesn't have an end.
Easy. Circle, Mobius strip, Pi or any nonrepeating decimal.
>2.Give something that did not have a beginning/started at nothing.
This one is a little trickier, and he probably wouldn't accept the previous answer because someone had to create the previous examples, but I would go something that just *is* like a truth. 2+2 is 4. By any other name if you arrange two objects and bring in two more you have four objects. That relation has existed forever because it is a truth, and boolean values transcend things like beginnings and ends.
>3.Give something that doesn't even have any value.
This is a trap. You're gonna get Sisyphus'd because value is relative. You could say, for example, death has no value but Hitler dying did. Or that dirt has no value but to farmer's it does. He's gonna claim everything could be valuable to someone and you can't counter argue that.
>4.Give a "word" that doesn't have a meaning/value.
Another impossibility. Jdfjs isn't a word. The definition of word is: a single distinct meaningful element of speech or writing. It's an invalid question. It's like asking who the greatest NBA player who doesn't play basketball.
>5."How do you know, that you know?".
You are certain of knowledge only when you can compare. I *know* that 2 + 2 = 4 because when I arrange 2 items and then arrange 2 more, I get 4 of them. I can compare my thought with a concrete. To exist is to know.
>6."How sure are you that you are sure?".
This is just facetious. It's similar to the last one, but more reliant on the concreteness. I know the sun is hot, but I cannot be sure (from a bullshit philosophical perspective)

Hope this helps.

2. The Same Circle
3. A Hole
4. Um
5. I don't
6. I am completely sure that I am unsure if I am sure or not.

I could argue against all of these answers, not very helpful m8.

>>610120578
this is a great answer
but
1) doesn't an infinite mathematical series has no end by it's very meaning, regardless of the definition of an end?
if you want it to be a physical thing you could just say that nothing could be without end because it would then be infinite and would then need an infinite amount of "energy" or the more generalized form of it, in order to be anything other then just open space. but even then there are different kinds of infinities and messing with them created a lot paradoxical statements that need further definitions that could not necessarily be proved
2) this does require a definition for beginning, but you can reconsider what "started at nothing" means. if you mean it to be that nothing outside of it caused it, then you could say that anything that is it's own cause is an object with no beginning, such as a circle or a certain time paradox.
3) it depends on if value is subjective or objective. if it's subjective, then anything without the possibility of subjection could have no value. if on the other end it's objective then anything could be said to have value because anything that exists can "do" something, even nothing can do "nothing" which could have a value for some.
4) words are created by people to have a meaning/value. even if you create a word that has no value meaning it immediately take it's place as a word which MEANS something that has no meaning, which creates a paradox. in other words nothing can be created that has no meaning in a universe that has anything other than paradoxical settings, depending, again, on the subjectivity or objectivity of "meaning".
5) I think therefore I am. the fact that you even think about knowing means that you must know how to think about knowing about knowing. you can't say for 100% that you are not changing your knowledge base each second, always becoming a different human being without ever knowing, but you could agree that occam's razor allows us to nullify that option.

Ever heard of Einstein's Theory of general relativity? We can measure time and its relationship with space and mass exactly.

Yes the scale of seconds and minutes is made up but that doesn't matter we could use any scale you like and time would be just the same.

If you even looked at the other answers, you would realize what a fucking retard you are.
The money bit was a joke, but because you suck cock, I'm now going to prove you wrong.
If you want to view the philosophical importance of the question itself, you could define money as having no value, except for what we establish for it. So money "doesn't even have any value" except for that which we give to it. But it is in constant flucuation. It has no inherent value, like food, water, or life does. It is a socially constructed idea. It depends how you view the question, but obviously all of these questions are meant to be unanswerable.
Fucking nigger.

Ancient Chinese philosopher say, man who has clock up arse keeps shitty time.

Jesus, will people STOP saying Moebius strip? It's not a satisfactory answer. Any strip will have finite boundaries at its edges, meaning a determinate area, which can easily be construed as an "end".

Yes but Einstein still argued against time being concrete whereas borh and hawkings made assertions of time travel.

Well. That still doesn't disprove that time as a measurement ends with the people measuring.

Okay, what is value?
What is "attached value"?
How can you define this idea of value?
What if I view money as having no value?
None of this counters my idea.

If you consider a circle as a function, then it is a valid answer to either one or two

Surely as a student of philosophy, it's YOU who should be asking the questions - not him.

>>610125892
I know plenty about science. Your mistake was assuming that I think anything science does or has done is valid. Or that his professor might. There is no completely logical reason to assume the correctnes of science.

4. "Literally"

If you look up the new definition of the word literally, it means both literally, and not literally, so therefore, it can apply in any situation, and is meaningless.

I will give you my goat if what you are offering has value. Value is just how many goats I would give, or should give.
