So last night after dinner I'm having a glass of Merlot called "Little Black Dress". Some of you may know of it. I am thinking about watching Ron Howard's Angel & Demons with Tom Hanks. I end up picking up my camera instead. I'm off and about for 15 minutes or so and come back to the computer with these off the camera. Now you tell me what the ??
![]() ![]() In thought experiments philosophers occasionally imagine entities with special abilities in order to pose tough intellectual challenges or to highlight apparent paradoxes. Examples include: Descartes’ malicious demon - Cartesian skepticism (also called methodological skepticism) advocates the doubting of all things which cannot be justified through logic. Descartes uses three arguments to cast doubt on our ability to objectively know: The dream argument, the deceiving God argument, and the malicious demon argument. Since our senses cannot put us in contact with external objects themselves, but only with our mental images of such objects, we can have no absolute certainty that anything exists in the external world. In the evil demon argument Descartes proposes an entity who is capable of deceiving us to such a degree that we have reason to doubt the totality of what our senses tell us. Demon - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Comment, all just in fun. Trying to create a mind set if it worked I did my job, if not oh well!

Cool shots, Duane! Very demonic! A and D is a great movie!! You'll love it! I thought, great, another Davinci code or something like that...but altogether different! You'll enjoy it! I've seen LBD in the stores, but haven't tried it yet. How is it? Not sure what these pics are, but they're cool! TFS

Hehe! Looks like you possessed your own demon for those 15 minutes Duane! I hope sometime along this thread you tell us what this actually is - I'll be watching it carefully! Great coloring - would make a good backdrop for a spooky collage or something like that.
Is it a close-up of an open fire burning?

Hi Duane, just wrote a very long response to this based on my student days and "Philosophy of Education" studies, but when I tried to 'Send Message' my computer inexplicably shut down!!!! Oh well. PAUL
