The speaker discusses the use of Akita's book, which refutes the philosophy of existence and questions the existence of oneself. They suggest that anyone who claims to not exist is considered a fallible claim, and that one's claims are dubious at the same time. The speaker also emphasizes the importance of asking practical questions and bringing up knowledge about PETA to one's friends.

00:00:00 --> 00:00:02
			Let me give you another one that
that is out there. That is pretty
		
00:00:02 --> 00:00:06
			funny that we used to read in the
books of Akita. And I mentioned
		
00:00:06 --> 00:00:08
			this with Mufti Jose Medina
Chicago, and he brought this to my
		
00:00:08 --> 00:00:12
			attention and the old books about
Peter they used to write, how kapa
		
00:00:12 --> 00:00:15
			haka it will move the saboteur to
which means the reality of matters
		
00:00:15 --> 00:00:18
			are all firmly are all given right
established in Givens. So what
		
00:00:18 --> 00:00:22
			does that denote? What does that
refute? It refutes the philosophy
		
00:00:22 --> 00:00:23
			that questions our own existence.
		
00:00:24 --> 00:00:28
			And how does it do so? Because if
you're, if we're debating, and you
		
00:00:28 --> 00:00:30
			question your own existence, and
you tell me prove to me that I
		
00:00:30 --> 00:00:34
			don't exist, right, or that I
exist, and you say, for example,
		
00:00:34 --> 00:00:38
			that you have doubt upon your
existence. So a claim must be a
		
00:00:38 --> 00:00:40
			certain claim, if you doubt your
own existence, right? At that
		
00:00:40 --> 00:00:43
			point, then your claims are
dubious at the same time, so you
		
00:00:43 --> 00:00:45
			can't make any claims. So nobody
could actually claim that they
		
00:00:45 --> 00:00:48
			don't exist, right? Because if you
don't exist, then your claim
		
00:00:48 --> 00:00:50
			doesn't exist. And therefore
there's no point in discussing it.
		
00:00:50 --> 00:00:52
			Right? If you have doubt that you
exist, that you also have doubt
		
00:00:52 --> 00:00:54
			that your claims because this is a
philosophical thing, but I'm
		
00:00:54 --> 00:00:56
			telling you, some people that are
out there that are intelligent,
		
00:00:56 --> 00:00:58
			that read, they come across
things, and they need answers to
		
00:00:58 --> 00:01:00
			these things, right. So don't tell
someone say, Well, let's talk
		
00:01:00 --> 00:01:02
			about something practical. No,
this is the most practical thing
		
00:01:02 --> 00:01:05
			is what kinds of things are going
ideas are going to be presented to
		
00:01:05 --> 00:01:09
			forget youth adults as well, when
they enter into certain spheres of
		
00:01:09 --> 00:01:11
			the university setting or read or
you have colleagues that work to
		
00:01:11 --> 00:01:13
			bring up these questions and
knowledge about PETA to me, I
		
00:01:13 --> 00:01:15
			think is the most important
subject, that we all have to
		
00:01:15 --> 00:01:20
			really be aggressive in studying
questions about the diving, it's
		
00:01:20 --> 00:01:21
			every question and we don't even
have to answer most of these.
		
00:01:21 --> 00:01:24
			They're already answered in the
books, right? We just have to get
		
00:01:24 --> 00:01:24
			access to them.
		
00:01:31 --> 00:01:32
