That is a square not a box, so the statement lies twice.

I take it you have trouble on tests that say check the box of the correct answer.

I just always say in the comment square that they are wrong

Seriously though what did you want from this test? Since this is a virtual world and the box/square doesn't exist then the lie or truth don't exist

It's a concept, so reality is of no significance.

I would congratulate you for thinking outside the box, but if there is no box, then you couldn't have been thinking outside of it.

But are we not thinking inside of the box, as we all have three dimensions of perception? We cannot be sure if it is a circle we live in nor, that we have three dimensions. Perhaps the term thinking outside the box is merely rhetorical, and there really is no box. On the other hand, what we perceive as a circle may be a box, and a box may be a circle. Perhaps our entire line of reasoning and perception if flawed, and that square really is the boxy, and it is we who are wrong....

Well, I think it looks like a broken link

Such profoundness and from I Sage, no less!

I would say something more about what you've said, but I think you broke my "brain."

It's not a square, it's a rectangle

Profoundness... that's one word for it... I can think of a few others

The link was broken But I fixed it now, not to worry

Maybe we never think outside the box, because our perceptions are shaped by living inside the box, so what is there to shape living outside of the box. The lie, lets see, I am thinking and yes it hurts, is a product of human beings perceptions, often we place little boxes over ourselves which constrain us from doing certain things, but sometimes we fail to realize that these boxes are a product of our own creation, and instead tend to believe that what is inside the box is reality. But then something comes from outside the box, and human perception either denies it exists or changes accordingly, but either way it is a formation of a new box. Can humans think without a box, that is to say without boundaries, well maybe maybe not.

Also keep in mind this elegant philosophical conundrum, was fostered by a X in a box, which was made by some weird and twisted SYMer, so all this philosphical frilly stuff might just be product of her master plan to do what I do not know, might never figure it out, oh stop that paranoia again, what was I doing again oh yeah was thinking of saying something witty and intelligent ended up saying something completely nuts, oh well thats me.

I think nothing outside the box is the truth, So you are all wrong since you are not writing in the box. (and so am I, I guess)

Yes, but then we must ask ourselves, does the box truly *exist* or is it merely *there*. If it is merely *there* then how can we judge what is inside of it. When we can claim that it *exists* then we can define what we *know* of the box, and whether or not it is a physical *manifest* or out thoughts, or rather an actual *existing* thing...

Yes Aegis, but then, who is to say what it is to *exist*? Can one be truly certain that that which they percieve to exist is in fact reality, or simply that which has been impreesed upon their conscienseness. Before one can say that a thing exists, one must frist know what it is to exist, otherwise all attepts at classification are simply uninformed musing. So, one must first journey within, and find Be and exist for themselves, before they can percieve that which is around them clearly...

I still refuse to be your child!

Ahhhhh my brain hurts, to much high thoughts barraging through, no more no more, does the box exist or does it not, oh the horror, the horror,

BS apparently has quite a fatherly attitude towards us people, seems to think we are his children or something, maybe its too much beer.

Not the beer AN, just my calling from the Swirling Light Thingie.

But if you become our father, you won't be able to flirt with us girls.

Hmm...maybe I should reconsider being your child.

Yes, but to *exist* in this higher plane of consciousness, one must *know* themselves first. To acheive that point, one must *become* what they are not, and *know* what they are. To *exist* in this plane is the same to *exist* in the plane where the box does not. The question is, is the boxy really there, and does it *exist*? Or is the box something else, and we do not yet *know* what it is, and where it *exists*?
