[quote]There was never any indication that I was arguing a certainty here, you're fully aware of that. Just because it is an inherently unknowable concept because it is beyond the reach of comprehension doesn't mean it isn't possible for individuals to come together and make informed predictions about it.

Yeah but to say your prediction is more correct than somebody elses is useless. They're all as probable as the next one.
[quote]What was the point of this entire paragraph? [/quote]
it was tangent that I spent too much time typing and didn't want to erase lol
[quote]Except there is no reason to argue that my lack of remembrance is due to some past existential state being wiped from my memory. You make the far fewest assumptions and use the most coherent logic by surmising that your ability to comprehend was simply a nonexistent construct that had to come together. [/quote]
Yeah but your assumptions would be totally wrong if proven otherwise correct?
And I'm glad there was never any indication that you were arguing a certainty there.

[quote]Yeah but to say your prediction is more correct than somebody elses is useless. They're all as probable as the next one.[/quote] "More correct?" No, it's either correct or it isn't. "More likely to be true based on logical reasoning and observational evidence?" Yeah, I'm quite sure it's the more likely of the options. Again, it makes the fewest assumptions.
