It's the induction rule there. > This is complete garbage, you have no idea of the scale of the problem, you are playing some private version of Disneyland Philosophy. > I've a lot of examples of how we construct our reality through > induction. And, of course, piling up pattern recognition examples, all by its magic self, will throw all the light that is needed to understand the hard part of the problem of induction. Carry on, you superficial fool. There will be no end of characters like Zinnic and that awful scientism-prone individual called jmfbahciv who will flock to chatter aimlessly along the same lines. You are a foolish man Stafford.

In fact, of course, you have little idea what you are talking about. Do you actually enjoy waffling on for no particular analytic reason? You silly lightweight sausage.

Whoops silly ewe, no baby because there was no pregnancy, check your premises, not pregnant - there was nothing false - except perhaps, as I said, the diagnosis was made by a Kantian and you have fallen for it. > I have the kind of certainty............ You still havent explained what you mean by certainty, so that doesn't make sense. Can you be certain of anything? MG

Shrug strawman, the subject is, your refusal to explain what you mean by certainty and to explain how it changes by being preceeded by the adjective aximomatic, now stay on subject there's a good girl.

There are no lines in reality, do you have an example of a certainty that deals with reality, you know something that is independent of the mind? MG |
