what?
the platonists are the ones who agree
math resides in the world of forms, not in the real world
an ideal, imaginary world, where straight lines and random probabilities exist

>>16792479
>hard physical calculations
Just like how Aristotle's philosophy is grounded in mostly empirical analysis of human behavior. Recent scientific progress made by Newton and Galileo is based on universal laws or general applicability. Buy there is no such thing as “proof” as most people think. The literally meaning of the word “to prove” means “to test,” as in to “probe” something.” Knowledge only comes after the fact, not before. It is empirical in nature. All proofs involving logic are flawed for this reason, since logic itself is derived empirically, and you’re forced to make assumptions about the whole even though you only have a part. The truth is that logic does not exist. Nor axioms or laws or causes. Everything simply is.

What is "the whole" and how does logic make "assumptions" about it?

Protip: none of these questions will receive any rational, thoughtful answer. Just more bio-LLM slop reiterating the same nonsense opinion.
>>
>>16792633
>logic itself is derived empirically
Logic isn't "derived" from anything. It's part of the structure of cognition itself (at least the essential basis is). Maybe you want to claim self-reflection is an "empirical science" and conclude laws of mind established that way are provisional, just like laws of nature. Yes, I bet you're already searching your bookmarks for that wiki article about the Induction Problem (which you misremembered as a "deduction problem"). What if gravity shifts direction tomorrow? Can't rule it out! We just assume it won't! Ok. But what if "X and not X" becomes true (in your mind) tomorrow? Directly, just like, without any extra steps of retard philosophy? Then you will lose your mind. Simple.
>>
>>16792670
>Then you will lose your mind. Simple.
Not at all. Consider the statement X: "The earth is moving". Like most people before copernicus, you consider it false because clearly they didn't feel the movement of the earth. But since copernicus, you can consider it to be true because treating the earth as moving gives a better scientific theory of the sun and planets. There is no problem with maintaining the idea that X is both true and false in your mind.
>>
>>16792680
>There is no problem with maintaining the idea that X is both true and false in your mind.
I know it's possible to hold retarded and self-contradicting ideas in your head (e.g. your post) without going mad in an obvious way, but that's not what I'm talking about and you know it. Since you know it but pretend you don't, I'm going to accept your concession here.
>>
>>16792684
It's quite strange to believe that I conceded when you're the one who has troubles stating what you meant clearly, in a way that isn't false. Also, you should look up paraconsistent logic. Here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paraconsistent_logic
>>
>>16792688
I did specifically contrast between simply having retarded and inconsistent ideas and losing consistency at the base cognitive level that inspires it as a logical principle in the first place. You're just too dumb to read.
>you should look up paraconsistent logic.
You didn't read that wiki article and you've never read a textbook on logic. Maybe you should do that.
>>
>>16792694
There's nothing inconsistent with my example of the (not) moving earth. Assigning both truth values to the statement makes sense, when interpreted appropriately. That's what you're missing. You have this account of how your mind works which involves this fictional, non-empirical "base cognitive level". In reality, the brain is much more complex than that you and it only comes to accept statements like the non-contradiction principle through a long and messy historical, sociocultural process of brains using trial and error to make better sense of the world they inhabit.

>>
>>16792710
Your LLM spam gives us nothing to discuss. Your best effort to prove your point consisted from noting that people used to believe "not X" and now they believe "X", for some particular X. From that, you somehow deduce people believe "X and not X". Now, that's extremely retarded, but it's also irrelevant. Even if your retarded philosophy makes you spout that shit, you don't perceive yourself as not spouting it while you are spouting it; you only perceive it as not shit while it is shit.

For details, please consult: >>16792694

>>
>>16792721
>noting that people used to believe "not X" and now they believe "X", for some particular X. From that, you somehow deduce people believe "X and not X"
No? The point was that X by itself is meaningless without a context and interpretation. In the context of common sense, it makes sense to say that the earth is not moving for the obvious reason that no one feels it moving (in philosophy, this is called the manifest image). In contrast, in the scientific image, it makes sense to say the earth is moving because that gives a neater description of astronomical observations of the planets. You are simply ignoring the contexts in which statements are interpreted and assuming that you already have a "God-given' context and interpretation for every statement which allows you to assign unique truth values to it. Once you accept the importance of interpretations and contexts, you can see how even things like the law of non-contradiction can be subject to scrutiny.
>>
>>16792733
Please tell me more about how you simultaneously perceived yourself to be writing and not writing that low-IQ slop while your brown, stubby fingers were mashing the keys.

Do you really not understand the difference between "X and not X" arising at the level of basic comprehension and it arising at the level of (faulty) modeling?

Can you tell me what "basic comprehension" tells you about the statement "the earth is moving"?

Nothing at all. I guess you literally cannot tell the difference between the two.
>>
>>16792759
So your basic comprehension violates the law of the excluded middle since you can't seem to assign any truth value to the statement.
>>
>>16792763
>So your basic comprehension violates the law of the excluded middle since you can't seem to assign any truth value to the statement.
No, it doesn't. Your statement simply doesn't mean anything on that level. It's a product of world modeling.
>>
>>16792768
>a product of world modeling
Or maybe "world modeling" isn't quite the right term; you could say the bare basics of cognition are already world modeling. But it's definitely a much higher level of abstraction.
>>
>>16792768
I see, so which are the statements which are amenable to being analyzed at the level of "basic comprehension" and which ones aren't?
>>
>>16792776
>which are the statements which are amenable to being analyzed at the level of "basic comprehension" and which ones aren't?
You don't analyze statements on that level. You perceive no relative movement, so you comprehend that you're stable on the ground. If you simultaneously comprehend the opposite (as opposed to merely entertaining poorly thought-out statements based on some Nth order abstractions), congratulations: you are insane.
>>
>>16792782
>You perceive no relative movement, so you comprehend that you're stable on the ground.
Aren't "relative movement", "stable", "ground" already sophisticated abstractions?
>>
>>16792787
>Aren't "relative movement", "stable", "ground" already sophisticated abstractions?
They only become "sophisticated abstractions" when you start analyzing it and all these elements become objects for analytical thought to play with. A cat doesn't need any of those concepts to know if it's stable or not.
>>
>>16792792
If you're saying that "basic comprehension" happens at an almost reflexive level for cats and humans, then that seems to be a claim about how human and cat brains actually work. Whether or not your mind functions in a way so as to adhere to the laws of logic like non-contradiction is then not guaranteed and would become an empirical question.
>>
>>16792805

You're insanely predictable. See:

On a base level, any situation (or at least your perception of one) simply is what it is. You can't conceive of it being simultaneously what it isn't. You can't even entertain explicit counterfactuals yet - your brain probably considers them on some level of processing, but that only serves to build up a basic comprehension of what IS.

You may then come up with a framework to describe situations. Non-contradiction would be a part of that framework's meta, corresponding to the aforementioned state of affairs, which is immutable. "X and not X" will never bubble up from the same place "X = X" did, unless you're stark-raving mad. It's an inherently different situation from discovering exceptions to some "law" of nature, or even waking up to a reversal of that "law".

Now, when you're describing situations and not just directly experiencing them, you can entertain counterfactuals and even consider idiotic "X and not X" propositions, but by God, if you then abstract "X and not X" as an actual principle and manage to project it down to the level of your raw comprehension, you will have accomplished the incredible feat of going maximally insane through the sheer power of your stubborn idiocy.
>>
>>16792819
I'm not at all talking about whether your brain will accept "X and not X" tomorrow. I'm saying that there is no empirical basis for the claim that it works "based on logic" altogether. If you think about how the brain works, this should be clear - it works based on electrical impulses between neurons. Whether or not you can model the working of this collection of neurons at a higher level as some sort of information processor which takes "statements" and interprets them to be true or false using "basic comprehension" becomes a very non-trivial question about how brains function. That is, your idea of a "basic cognitive level" or "basic comprehension" is already an abstract empirical hypothesis of how brains function and not as "direct" as you think it is.
>>
>>16792842
>there is no empirical basis for the claim that it works "based on logic" altogether
I never said anything about brains being "based on logic" or looked for any "empirical basis". You're really going off the rails here and perceiving the situation incorrectly. But note that even a mentally ill retard like you only perceives the situation one way, not both ways simultaneously.
>>
>>16792858
>I never said anything about brains being "based on logic"
You just used a used different term like "base cognitive level", and like I've said many times now, that's just a fiction, since it has no empirical basis.
>>
>>16792860
>base cognitive level
That's not an empirical statement and it's not saying anything about brains. Try again.

>that's just a fiction, since it has no empirical basis.
It's only fiction to subhuman bio-LLMs (like you). Actual humans experience what it refers to directly. They don't need to "hypothesize" it and then look for observations that (provisionally) confirm it.
>>
>>16792841
See >>16792842. You have a theory that your brain works based on some sort of logical framework and I'm saying that theory is an empirical hypothesis of how brains function.

I see what you're doing, but it only serves to highlight my point that "basic comprehension" is not a real thing. I think what this conversation shows is that communication works not through a shared "basic comprehension" between individuals but through temporary equilibria resulting from the reactions of neurons in your head in response to the electromagnetic signals impinging on your eyes arising from the mechanical impulses on my keyboard caused by the reactions of neurons in my head (and vice versa, of course). We have probably reached one such temporary equilibrium right now :)

The law of the excluded middle is an assumption, for example. If it weren't, then what would make of the liar's paradox?

Your "thinking" involves several layers of retardation, but your most basic error is thinking that the framework for a given logic is an "assumption" just because it isn't regarded as something to prove. This is simply a category error. If I asked you what external state of affairs it's an assumption about, you would shit out some word salad and never provide a cogent answer.

Logic doesn't exist though. You can't even prove it is valid in itself because you have no empirical means of demonstrating its internal validity.

Why jump through the hoop of QM, retard? Just say math disproves logic because a random variable implies "things can both be and not be at the same time". Also note that you did not provide any relevant quote from that article you obviously didn't read.

The joke is that it’s well known in Nietzsche scholarship that he was absolutely terrible at math. He almost failed out of gymnasium he was so bad at math.

Harris gives up too soon. When you electrolyse water the gases are humid and under slightly different pressures, and there can be side reactions. If you dry the gases the weights are around 16:1 so if we had a unit mass convention the water formula unit would be ho16 and the hidden assumptions about the naturally occurring isotope ratios would be exposed.

Since you’re clearly some kind of logic genius who is familiar with even the most obscure forms of logic, it should be trivial for you to post a hand drawn picture of a tableaux method proof to show that excluded middle cannot be proven for a three value paraconsistent logic such as Pierce’s. Just modify classical tableaux with a third value, L, and modify the branching accordingly. Please show your hands, too.

Yeah you’ve just shown everybody with a basic understanding of the history of intuitionism and logic that you don’t know shit about this topic and are speaking out of your ass. Intuitionistic logic and paraconsistent logics have similar motivations. They really aren’t that obscure.

It’s funny you bring up LLMs. let me guess: you tried to get an LLM to solve this but weren’t sure if the result was an hallucination and didn’t want to embarrass yourself? You can find standard proofs of the failure of excluded middle in Pierce’s three value logic with a simple Google search. Tableaux is trickier to find. The dataset of tableaux exemplars that an LLM can be trained on for this is probably very slim and the formatting and diagrams varies between text books and papers so you were probably right to think it would hallucinate an answer. That’s why I’m asking you for a hand written tableaux proof that excluded middle is not a tautology in Pierce’s three value paraconsistent logic. It’s a perfect filter for frauds like you. Im not surprised you accuse the other person of what you yourself are guilty of.

Hmm. It looks like this time I was being the retard. I can see now why your request does make sense, even though talking about the LEM seems completely moot in a logic that introduces a value that's neither true nor false.

"This subject" being what, retard? This thread is about how abstract, self-contained systems like propositional logic relate to reality. Climbing even higher up the tree of pure abstractions, to the meta level where a niche logic system itself becomes an object to logick about, tells me absolutely nothing about the actual subject of this thread. Or, if anything, it demonstrates Nietzsche's point about how disconnected your sort is from reality.

Most threads are kept alive by a samefag schizo.

If you state a position it is inevitable some one will argue the opposite, but they often leave after a few minutes. Far better to cut out the middleman and just argue with yourself.
Furthermore good faith discussions are so rare they may as well not exist, So its just better to be a retard. If you say something sensible and rational no one will agree with you. Its better just to randomly insult posters with retarded insults to provoke a rage reply and therefore bump the thread..

tt. Have kept retarded threads that I created alive for months by having retarded arguments with myself, and by randomly insulting posters with retarded insults.
