Nice spook faggot

what

>>7688271
whats a spook

Because God is all-powerful.

Because it has always before done it. (Empirism)
Because it's useful to think so. (Pragmatism)

Do you even philosophy dude

Define "should"?

>>7688304
wrong

>>7688269
>Why should I believe the sun will rise tomorrow?

it is statistically very likely, based on previous data

earth is roughly 4.543 billion years old. the sun has risen on every single day. hence, 4.543 x 365. which equals 1658.195 billion days. hence, the chance that the sun does not rise tomorrow is 1/1658195000000

>>7688306
Am I supposed to?

>>7688316
So there's a chance it won't rise is what youre saying. So why shouldn't I believe it won't rise tomorrow?

It just works.

Do whatever you want???

>>7688322
Because there are 165819499999 more chances it will

>>7688269
Dont.

You shouldn't believe it.

>>7688335
I won't
>>7688338
why?

>>7688269
The sun doesnt rise at all. It's for the most part still. It's the earths spit that you should be wondering about.

>>7688341
past futures and future futures.

>>7688322
>So why shouldn't I believe it won't rise tomorrow?

you should consider it a possibility but also recognize that this is not a binary dilemma, as in that you should not believe in such simple terms as [sun will rise tomorrow with absolute certainty- vs - sun will not rise tomorrow with absolute certainty], because that is not the case

The sun doesn't 'rise'.

The earth 'spins'.

Idiot.

One would think before posting such a thing, you would at least first read Descartes, founder of modern philosophy.

You actually don't care. You wouldn't function if you worried about all uncertainties of life, so you just ignore the question until there's a reason to consider it.

>>7688575
Never said I didn't care, that doesn't answer the question

>>7688269
you can beleive what ever you fucking like

but the consistent rising and falling of the sun day after day year after year century after century atleast lends some strength to the argument that it will rise tomorrow.

>>7688779
And haven't said you do this time either. If you can't figure out how that answered your question, you need to find something else to occupy your mind.

>>7688544
the sun also rises buddy.

If the sun could speak, we could not understand it

>>7688269
So that your boss doesn't get mad at you for not coming to work on account of the world possibly ending.

Okay, /lit/, here is the scenario:

>the sun has fallen out of its orbit
>it will crashland into earth
>you are invited in one of the few save bunkers built for this ocasion
>due to limited space you only get to bring three books that you can read while you are in the bunker
Which books do you bring?

Keep in mind that you will stay in there for months.

That said, The World as Will and Representation, Parerga and Paralipomena by Schopenhauer and 'Schopenhauer' by Cartwright.

>>7689371
I'd go full Melancholia and just embrace it.

Because it's hard science, not philosophy. We can calculate right now exactly when the sun will "rise".

What happens if a sun made of lava crashes into an equally large sun made of ice?

>>7689384
That is the single most stupid question i've seen posted in the 8 years ive been visiting 4chan.

I bet you think the upside down lion would win, fag.
