';Do not doubt the unknown unknown'; Do you think this statement is true or false?

The Known Unknown are questions like ';Is Magic real'; or ';Is God real'; or ';Are aliens real'; because we know the question is unknown and we can comprehend the possibilities of them... but that doesn't mean that there aren't unknown unknowns out there, which are things we can't comprehend or imagine to think of... like before, I bet you cavemen didn't even think the possibility of their being fire until they discovered it, thus once making it an unknown unknown, and electricity wasn't even thought of before a couple hundred years ago... and even the simplest things, like having a mother giving birth to a child, she probably wouldn't of even thought of giving birth at a specific time or age, making it also a temporary unknown unknown... so, do you think that there are possibilities of their being unknown unknowns as well as known unknown? Sorry for the long question.';Do not doubt the unknown unknown'; Do you think this statement is true or false?
I agree with sr. Hola up there. Yup!





That's kinda like asking someone to show you something that noone's ever seen before, and then they cut the inside of an apple open without lokoing at it and show it to you. (the idea is that noones seen that specific apple core). Of course there WERE unknown unknowns, but you can never prove that they are currently existing because they haven't been considered yet. However this is, well, really likely. That they exist, I mean.





Sorry, I think my analogy was unclear. It's just that I remembered a story fron when I was a child ^_^';Do not doubt the unknown unknown'; Do you think this statement is true or false?
True. Everything that is known now was once not known. Discovering something is not the same thing as creating it....it is only dis-covering (uncovering) what has always been there.
Well you've made a compelling argument. Who can disagree?
You... pretty much just answered your own question.
