Thamx @gaberlunzie have bookmarked that in the favorites folder labeled "Someday" (as for the time being my computer has no sound...i blew up it's ability to make sound a couple months ago! Go Me!)

I posted the link for general interest. I'm very much a nominalist, not a Platonist (although I realise many mathematicians are), so it's beyond me how something can exists if it doesn't manifest as and in something.

@gaberlunzie That's a fair cop! I'm stuck on my perceived absence of absolute (and therefore ANY) truth. If nothing can be proven as true then everything is merely perception..well at least maybe? ugh therefore am I dreaming? If I am not dreaming then how could I possibly embrace any morality...as morality seem to be completely subjective...or something like that...my brain hurts.
