@atheistnightmrs Your worldview is incoherent.

[Signum @ISignumI]

@MartinusLogicus Logic is a posteriori.

You learned language, the foundation of logic.

Cognitive processes are a priori.

Learn basic philosophy.

[Signum @ISignumI]

@AgainstAtheismX You have personal preferences too.

The religion you chose, and the specific interpretation of it, are arbitrary.

[Signum @ISignumI]

@Tsar_Martyr You are wrong.

See how easy it is to make assertions?

[Signum @ISignumI]

@GrantGooch @MartinusLogicus That's tricky, because many shapes that were thought impossible to exist were made, such as in non-euclidean geometry.

A contradiction works for propositions. Reality is not just propositions.

@grok @AnselmDescartes It's not true, obviously. Otherwise we could define fairies into existence.

[Signum @ISignumI]

@grok @AnselmDescartes Definitions don't grant existence, right, grok?

@darwintojesus Almost all professional philosophers are atheists.

@reubsey @radiofreeautumn No faith at all.

Logic is simply a formalization of cognitive process. I don't have faith in them, in the same way I don't have faith in vision.

@darwintojesus Atheists are growing with every new generation, while christians are dropping.

Cope harder.

@wendelltalks Lots of people have died for their religions.

[Signum @ISignumI]

@reubsey @radiofreeautumn Sure.

The fact is that logic can't be proven, because any proof presupposes it. That's why Aristotle called the principle of non contradiction an axiom.

@radiofreeautumn @reubsey I can block him if he's obtuse.

Still, hopefully someone sees this interaction and takes something useful.

[Signum @ISignumI]

@reubsey @radiofreeautumn Ad hoc like your god?

Where is the contradiction in something self evident? SPOILER: There's not.

Also, the fact that logic is possible is not a methaphysical claim, it's an experiential one.

You are conflating a lot of things. I guess you never actually studied philosophy.

[Signum @ISignumI]

@reubsey @radiofreeautumn Well, experience is not only sensory data.

Tell me everything you think you know.

[Signum @ISignumI]

@radiofreeautumn @reubsey 🤣

[Signum @ISignumI]

@reubsey @radiofreeautumn Logical reasoning is experientally happening. Therefore it's self evident like touching a tree.

Abstract semantic games don't provide any stronger justification.

@darwintojesus "Magic is my evidence"

Lol, sure.

[Signum @ISignumI]

@radiofreeautumn Totally agree.
