| According to what you posted in the philosophy topic, you regard all knowledge as unprovable. While I am quite capable of following that line of reasoning and even able to accept that it has a certain validity, I do not care for any self-defeating conclusions. While we must always realize that any philosophy does contain error, that error should ideally be minimized. |
Several issue there.
1. If knowledge is genuinely unprovable, how is admitting this self-defeating?
2. Isn't the assumption that knowledge is provable logically unprovable (that's not really a question, but a statement of fact).
3. The reason you give for not following a that particular line of reasoning is that you "don't care" for it. There's nothing wrong with that statement, but when you earlier argue that all things are only guesses until you compare them to observations. I still want to know what you could observe that would validate (or invalidate) you position.
4. Given I have never really articulated my philosophical position, you seem to know an awful lot about what I think.
