Yeah, just need to know for sure that kumquats exists and how I can know that.
Can anyone give me a logical argument asserting that kumquats exist?
The existence or non-existence of kumquats is identical to the existence or non-existence of anything.
Let's begin with an assumption.  Cogito ergo sum.  I posit that I exist.  I point to something else that I perceive to be separate from me.  I touch it.  I see it.  I smell it.  It is perceived by me to exist.  Since it is differentiable from other objects, I can name it as a way of recognizing that difference.  Somewhere along the line of naming differentiable objects, I choose to call one of them a kumquat.
So, independent of anyone else, I am convinced that kumquats exist because I have seen one and I have named it.
Now, how do I know that what I call a kumquat and what you call a kumquat are the same thing?  I don't care.  I know that kumquats exist because I exist and because I have a kumquat sitting in front of me that I can perceive and differentiate from other objects that are not kumquats.
Reply:You rascal. You know kumquats exist.                          Report It
