In context

Of a video tape

so you only trust something if it's on video?

No

That would be the equal standard of proof to the theory or aging

The theory of aging can be demonstrated on video

Monkeys turning into people cannot

i mean, i can link you videos on it?

It allegedly happened well before the advent of video recording

This is entry level philosophic discussion

Empiricism vs rationalism, internet sperg edition

i realize that

So you realize there cannot be video tape of it

yes

It seems we are in agreement then

when i find a videotape of a monkey turning into a man you'll be so sorry

We both believe things that cannot pass the other's standard of proof

i think we're not in agreement about what proof means

We agree what proof means but we have different standards

You seem to perhaps have a more universal standard of proof, whereas mine depends on the context, for instance I believe that spiritual proof is different from say proving that 2 + 2 = 4

What is proof

If you have proof, what do you have exactly?

jesus coming back to life isn't a spiritual claim

"evidence or argument establishing or helping to establish a fact or the truth of a statement."

So what constitutes proof

Depends on who you ask

I think it depends on the context

You are asserting it's physical phenomena that, by existing, rules out other theories of reality

@pd no, it is not

Some people say there are multiple realities

For example, time lapse video of a monkey evolving into a person or at least into a negro would rule out your world view

Yes

So your notion of proof is phenomenological

Thus you are an empiricist

For this sort of thing, yes

I wouldn't ask for the phenotype of a math question though

Why not

I guess it seems irrelevant

Doesn't that notion of proof suppose that any of us have theories of reality that are at all accurate, and also that empirical phenomenological evidence is capable of being successfully interpreted?

It just becomes science that denies mainstream science as an institution because you haven't personally seen their phenomena

I would say I accept other people's theories of reality to be their own, but inaccurate at the same time
