>PLATT: You cannot be absolutely certain of your own existence?
ERIN: I can not be absolutely certain what "existence" is.
I think my commonsense tells me that I am alive------but "it is commonsense
that told people the world is flat"

ERIN-- truth=beauty is a duality to me and truthbeauty is not to me

ERIN: Okay, then what if this limbo was the coexistence of life and death--
life and death are like two sides of a coin.. So I guess I should word myself
better and say I am not certain that I am 100% alive. Is this better or worse
for you?

ERIN: I don't see what you are saying here. It isn't always 99% about
everything. The percentage changes with the ambiguity of the topic, so where
is this absolute your indicating?
