Is it possible that somethang is impossible if anythang is possible?
    #11477902 - 11/18/09 11:11 AM (14 years, 3 months ago)

The answer is no..

because.


Impossible is impossible

Is it possible for something to be impossible?
No, because then that possibility would become an impossibility
diminishing the fact that it was possible to begin with.

which is impossible

So

Impossible is impossible
If somethang is impossible, then it is simply impossible, which is not possible, making nothang impossible and everythang possible.

Impossible is nothang.
.everythang is Possible


is it possible to feels bad man and feels good man simultaneously.. well if u have eaten enough shrooms, u should know that yes, u can feels feels man.

Drawing a square circle would be an example of something that is logically impossible because it is contradictory in it's description.

Physical impossibilities are also undeniable.  Someone would not be able to jump from California and land in Michigan for example.

well its like doin' thangs


u can never not do anythang

because no matter what, ur movang with the earth.

and u gotta do somethang in order to die, like dying is doin' somethang.

so it's impossible to NOT do anythang.

which means its impossible to do nothang

which means everythang is possible i guess

it's an apparent logical paradox resulting from inapplicable use of one or both terms.

now: does it demonstrate a flaw in logical reasoning, or a flaw in language?

my guess would be the flaw in language, for sure, but i duno if logical reasoning is flawed either, it must be if we need language to reason logically to begin with!

basic arithmetic may not really require language.. i duno



what if our language was just in binary?







I guess the answer is then, that


yeah, thangs are impossible,

but maybe that shouldn't stop one from trying to do the impossible :shrug:

that would be my presumption aswell, due to the nature of symbolic language.

out words have no discrete meaning, and are difined by their relation of other of our words and a comparrison to conclusions drawn, soundly or not about the world we percieve.
