There isn't anything to disagree with here.KerryM wrote:I see the philosophical answer but I disagree.... You can play with words etc all day long, the fact remains- some day you'll die- life doesn't last forever- just cause it hasn't happened yet doesn't mean it won't.
It IS a philosophical answer. I'm not playing with words, I'm giving you the kind of answer you asked for. And the view doesn't claim that it "won't" happen. This philosophical position defines "knowledge" differently than perhaps the usual usage, which is common in philosophy. For this view, predictive statements of future events cannot, under any circumstances, be "knowledge" until after the events they predict have happened. Even then, it is only knowledge that the "Prediction" is true.But don't take my opinion as argumentative- because I surely understand what you are saying.. Really- I'm not disagreeing with you persay- but the concept that just because it hasn't happened yet- it might not- not with death anyway. There is no escaping death. ...
...coarse- ya never know- ....
...so I guess I can't say I know death will happen "to me"
Again, its not my point and I don't claim to agree with it. My view actually is that we can't truely "Know" anything at all. That is an entirely different discussion that would take a thread all its own. 
As far as the "death" issue goes, even with having seen other people "die," a lot depends on what you consider "death" (and "life" for that matter) to be...mental? physical? spiritual? identity? energy? cosmic? temporal? .....That's not linguistic, that's part of people's religions and spirituality....soooo...back to THAT again! heeheeheee...
