Arrrgh! Shiver me timbers, tis the black spot. Why do we talk the way that we do? Is it something that we said?

My favorite quote of the day:  " I don't like it, and I'm sorry I ever had anything to do with it." by Erwin Schrodinger with regards to quantum mechanics.

Thought aerobics for the day. Immanual Kant was a real pissant who was very very sta....oops sorry. What I meant to say was Immanual Kant stated and upheld that all of our knowledge begins with experience. I agree. What items of understanding have we not grasped through the toils of experience. What constituants of knowledge have we not gained but through the throngs of trial and error. But he does not stop here. He merely says that all knowledge begins with experience but does not end with it nor does it imply that all knowledge arises out of experience. Empirical knowledge being the primary source but does there exist a secondary knowledge that comes completely devoid and without the help of experience. He further breaks it down stating that there is pure a priori knowledge meaning that it exists without any empirical precedence. Is ther such a thing as pure a priori knowledge? Who is to say. But let's ask the man in the street.
