which one of us, in your opinion, is the one who does not admit that the
statement, “For all that is, it can be said, that it is.”, is a valid
statement?
we have previously established that I am among all that is; and, hence,
that I may say of myself that I am.
this is but the first part of the CPI: I know that I am; but, not what I
am.
are you now claiming that you’ve proven that ‘is’ alone is a predicate;
and, therefore, no one is able to assert the CPI or even ask ‘what am
I?’?
even assuming you have proven that ‘is’ alone is a predicate, how does
that entail the conclusion that no one is able to assert the CPI or the
conclusion that no one may even ask ‘what am I?’?
