Mad Hatter dons his Nihilists cap...
ONE very simple answer, albeit highly unpopular with most people... everything boils down to being nothing more than ideas and the semantic use of such so easily leads to-where does any energy come from ?
- what is energy?
- what is mass?
- what is "substance"?no matter the topic."quasi circular definitions"
Investigation of such an uncomfortable conundrum leads to the question 'What might be the root cause of ideas?'
In looking to answer that you would need to identify the lowest common denominator amongst those things which consistantly affect everybody in the same way.
With respect to anything being potentially possible, one can only argue the case that something is so, under the caveat 'up to this particular point in time'.
It would seem that an extremely good candidate for the cause of all ideas is actually something we all rely on to let us down every day... GRAVITY!!
