Fact & Opinion

[Posh]

Heres an interesting thought, it was started by a conversation between my and Rykuta, wether or not the real or not.

Are there such things as Facts, or is everything an Opinion?

And; Idiology, relate that, to Facts and Opinions, it is all connected.

Please expand.

Edit(s): Lets expand, and not write one sentence answers please, also, remember, we are of the Human Race; and we are one of the most faulty species in the universe(New Topic, maybe?)

Well, is it a fact that I am a human being? Yes.
It is interesting but I am tired so I won't think up of anything more.

Fact = proven
Opinion = not proven but you believe

If anything is disagreed upon, it automatically makes it opinion. I say 2+2=Fish. This equation is now opinionated.

How do you know you are Human?  For all we know, and you know, you could be a slightly different species.

ScienceLog: Every generation is slightly different then the first; e.g. I am a slightly different species then my grandparents.

Ah well.

Not all of math is now currently an opinion, just that statement.

There we go, those two posts should be a lesson to Blockland, this can be done without worthless flaming.

You're just blindly listening to me.

You're just blindly listening to me.

I'm sorry if you think that.  And, your accusation is just an opinion.

Most are just judgements passed through our own senses and minds, or ideas that we hold true to ourselves and or many; The only facts are those that the universe has long since created that never have nor will change. That's how I see it, in their most formal senses, at least. c:

All of reality cannot be proven although our senses tell us to. This is not a means to disprove reality, but it is relevant. No matter what you experience whether it be insanity, hallucination, what is considered 'reality', and what could 'experience' in a universe with properties differing from this one, it still means that your existence is existent, because you are there. I've never really thought of this before, but actually quote finally makes sense to me, "I think therefore I am".
Your actions in the medium known as reality and their consequences are as of yet consistent, not changing. Achieving any goal requires tools in reality to be used, and reality is, at least this one, is consistent, therefore reusable and learn-able.

What I define as opinion is what one judges to be emotionally or achievement-relatedly satisfying. An opinion is when one has a judgement for an object, abstract or physical, to be correct or useful, without much scientific, as in testing for repeatability, accuracy.

Often emotion can interfere with behavior, even that of behavior that the individual deems correct. This can push an individual to a rash conclusion that the negative emotion associated with the object or idea is deemed false or unworthy.
