Do you think if anything is possible, it’s still possible for anything to be impossible?

Question

I don't think everything is possible as there's more nuance. I think there are levels to possibility ranking as the following:

1) Possible

2) Highly likely

3) Somewhat likely

4) 50/50

5) Somewhat unlikely

6) Highly unlikely

7) Impossible

With that said, just because something falls into categories 2 or 6 doesn't mean it can't go the other way, but it's extremely rare. I don't think that rarity is appreciated enough, and it can make some people delusional. 1 and 7 are straight forward. Humans cannot naturally fly like birds do, and we cannot teleport as these things are impossible. On the other hand, we can breathe and talk, so that's possible.

Sometimes these motivational gurus telling you that "nothing is impossible" is actually hurting you, since it removes your sense of realism and replacing it with false hope for something that's highly unlikely to work out. Still in the gray area though, so that's why you pursue it. If it was outright impossible, you wouldn't waste your time even trying. Sometimes the best thing to do is to weigh the cost vs benefit and make a decision based off of that.

Is it possible for a baby to return to its mother's womb? Is it possible to jump off the Empire State Building without a parachute or other safety device and survive the fall? Is it possible to shove a '57 Chevy up your nose?

All things are not possible.

The math you’re talking about in terms of infinity doesn’t necessarily add up. Yes, it’s very possible that something can be impossible during a certain number of attempts, but within infinite confines the possibility of said impossibility is never a 0% chance, therefore there is nothing that is completely impossible. Highly improbable and extremely difficult, yes, but not something totally impossible.

Some people choose to be winners, some choose to be losers, some don't even try. Life, for the most part, is what YOU make of it.

I never thought that. I realized at a young age that there are a million things in the universe we can have and a million things we can't have. It sucks but that's just the way it is

From my own sense for logic, I'd rather say that through the initial assumption... ... impossible can be anything.

That is a great seemingly paradoxical question! I guess not! That's a really good question

Well, traveling at the speed of light is one that still stands as not likely. But science might be able to bend space in the future.
