SUMMARY

Participants explore various interpretations of truth, knowledge, and the nature of questions. Key points include the assertion that "the one thing I know is that I do not know" serves as a paradoxical yet valid response. The conversation emphasizes that answers are context-dependent and can change over time, highlighting the complexity of truth in relation to individual questions.

When the answerer is obligated to follow your conditions.PIT2 said:
I doubt it, since a question is not a real "thing".
It appears so to me.
If you do, in fact, have a headache, and can't think of the answer. It just might not be the answer the questioner was expecting.
Truthfully though, I really, really don't know. Can a question have multiple correct answers?

You are mislead by the word 'I'
whether I have brain or not seems irrelevant...
If i got my arm chopped off...the brain would still project the arm
and the pain...

Well, "that" answer then contradicts what you said above...eggman said:
and thus we see that "I do not know" cannot be the answer to all questions--which is the topic of this thread. IMO, the OP question has been answered--the answer to all questions is "the answer" [posted by Radar in post # 7].eggman said:
