It’s been a long time since I’ve been this let down by a movie like Miami Vice. The whole thing is absolute garbage. My advice? Skip it. You wouldn't believe how dull it was; an hour before the credits rolled, I was sitting there wondering when this would finally end and why I hadn't just watched Mad Max or some mindless comedy about a remote control instead. I never had much time for Foxx to begin with, but Farrell really missed the mark here.
The movie is garbage but honestly, it's the kind of garbage I haven't seen in a long time A massive letdown compared to the first one It’s like someone said there are plot holes big enough to drive a truck through, and some people just choose to ignore them... Terrible 😢
I watch movies in whatever format I can get my hands on... naturally, nothing beats the theater experience, followed by watching them on DVD at home... but if a movie is actually good and I’ve got an old VHS copy sitting around from twenty years ago, I'll pop it in without a second thought or any regrets. A movie is a movie. 😉
First off, let’s get one thing straight: I have zero training in philosophy. I haven't touched a textbook on logic, psychology, or any of that academic fluff. All I have is my own way of thinking through things logically...
Imagine one guy tells his friend that truth doesn't exist. Naturally, the friend won't buy it for several reasons. First, if what he said is true, then "truth doesn't exist" is itself a truth, which contradicts him. Second, he’s convinced truth exists simply because his mind isn't wired to accept a paradox like that. Now, compare this paradox to that famous image of people climbing stairs in an endless loop. Suppose we actually find ourselves on those stairs with no exit. Would we keep climbing? Or would we head down? Regardless, we act. We move. Even if we see the stairs just circle back upward forever, our only options are up or down. That’s the reality. In any scenario, we are performing an action—climbing or descending, moving forward or backward. By doing so, the paradox evaporates, because a true paradox shouldn't allow for any kind of action. Some might argue there's no real action since we aren't "getting anywhere," but I disagree. We are getting somewhere; we are reaching a higher elevation than where we started. No matter how futile the effort seems, we still choose whether to go up or down, to ascend or descend from our current spot. Because we can make that choice, the paradox ceases to be. A paradox, by definition, cannot permit action, change, or decision-making. Those are the core components that make a paradox a paradox. Or am I wrong? Similarly, the idea that there is no truth can technically be true, because we decide whether or not to believe it. If we choose to believe it, we can't, because we already committed to the belief that truth doesn't exist. Once we stop believing that, we conclude that truth *does* exist, so we believe again, and we're right back where we started. It's a loop. But we are the ones choosing that initial leap of faith or skepticism. In doing so, we build a chain of facts and conclusions—repetitive as they may be—that lead us further toward an answer, closer and closer to Pi. The bottom line is that we take action and we make decisions. Therefore, it isn't a paradox. I'm concluding that paradoxes don't truly exist, regardless of what any fancy theory claims. It's the same deal with someone mentioning a black hole. We can decide if we want to scientifically uncover what lies on the other side or not. Until we act on it, it remains an object in the universe that we can't even call a paradox, because we haven't engaged with it yet. So, don't come at me too hard, you educated philosophers. My primary philosophy is to follow my own reasoning. I don't think you can reach a quality conclusion by blindly following someone else's theories or monologues. I look at the very people who laid the groundwork for the topics discussed on this forum; they had no actual basis for their theses or conclusions to begin with... Regards,
geza said:The truth doesn't reside within subjectivity, which means it can't exist within the concept of a LIAR either. Both the existence and the substance of Truth are found in the SINGULARITY.
And what evidence are you providing for that? No hard facts provided, yet you expect me to just take your word for it...
My apologies, I was under the impression we were on a philosophy forum... LET'S ASSUME that's the case; the point isn't about finding some absolute truth, but rather exploring the paradox created by the given example 😉
You need to find some actual justice, otherwise you’re going to be screwed for the rest of your life because love just isn't in the cards for you. HAHAHAHAHAHAHA 🙂 🙂 👋 👋 🙂 😁 😁 😁 🙂 🙂
The first one is alright The second isn't much to write home about THIS ONE IS A TOTAL HOME RUN Pure comedy. Spent two hours in the theater and honestly couldn't stop smiling once. It’s a top-tier movie—so many clever, original jokes I was practically clutching my stomach from laughing so hard.. BRILLIANT
1. What defines 41? Or is it 41 plus 1? 2. We aren't going to solve the question of meaning just by jotting down important details on paper. No matter how much we differ, we’re all cut from the same cloth in the end. Meaning is subjective—it hits everyone differently. That part is universal. If anyone ever actually answers that question, we'll end up living on eternal hunting grounds or rolling green pastures with endless meadows. People build their own version of paradise, but they can't do that until they grasp what it is that actually connects us all.
I’m not depressed. I’m just restless. Why can’t we just be honest and say: "This is what I’m living for, and once I hit that mark, everything changes"? We aren't here just to check boxes—collecting material goods, chasing a specific type of romance, raising kids, or building a corporate ladder. It isn't enough. Life follows a pattern. People are born, they live, and they die. You can break it down into three distinct phases: 1. From birth until you finally wake up and start living a conscious, self-directed life. 2. The actual living part—where you act with intention and acquire what you set out to get, whether that's wealth or spiritual growth. Most people spend very little time actually enjoying this stage. 3. If we define this by retirement or age, this third phase is where depression sets in and where we start looking back at the first two. So, in this final stretch, will we actually be happy because we checked off our goals? Or will we sit there wondering where seventy years went? Even if we built a family, a reputation, and a career, we eventually face the reality that it was all for nothing because we disappear. And those after us disappear too. The only people who truly leave a footprint are the ones who were either exceptionally gifted or exceptionally wicked—and even then, they are rare. The world moves forward because of individuals, yet it stays stagnant for the masses. Think about that paradox: the masses live lives shaped by great individuals, while those great individuals exist solely because of their own talent. It’s a closed loop. If we can figure out how to break that cycle, we might actually get closer to understanding the purpose of existence.
Do you ever find yourself wondering... what's the point of it all? I’m looking for an answer to something similar... what is the actual purpose of our existence in this world? People are born, they go through school, they get degrees, they accumulate wealth, they enjoy themselves, they work, they help others, they break laws, they show off, they age, they leave behind descendants, they voice their opinions, and ultimately—they die. Some might argue we do all this so our children and grandchildren can have a better life, or so we can enjoy a bit more comfort ourselves, but to what end? Sure, we enjoy things now, but what does any of it matter when everything vanishes the moment we die? Others will claim that being remembered as a good or bad person matters... but why? A million years from now, nobody is going to remember some random guy or even someone like a Nobel winner or osama bin laden. What is the sense in all of this when neither we nor anyone else gets any lasting benefit from our lives once it's over? In the end, it feels like we just cycle through various experiences, both good and bad, but for what? It seems as though it makes no difference whether we are saints or sinners, because compared to the vastness of eternity, our tiny differences are completely insignificant.
