I see.

Sorry to hear that.

There could have been a universe illogical in the sense that it wouldn't be open to any mathematical description.

Our universe is not like that but why?

This example shows that modus ponens is not an entirely reliable rule of inference.

Your comment doesn't make any sense. I don't know what you mean or are trying to mean.

I wouldn't vote for you, that's for sure.
EB

I hope this will be helpful.

This is a stupid remark. You have no idea what I do.

I was also replying to aupmanyav's erroneous comment, and you interjected with an irrelevant remark. And now, LOL, you pontificate from the...

Yes? And how is that relevant?

Dictionary definitions try to be statements of what people mean. They don't provide encyclopedic or scientific context.

When aupmanyav says of the definition,...

Not true?! This is a dictionary definition of the word. This is what proficient...

I don't know but in any case this is not what the argument claims.

I knew it would be a bit too difficult to parse.
EB

Sure, but that is not at all what the argument claims.
EB

Just pointing out the basics, that our perception of the objective world/reality is being shaped and tested by that objective world. It is an objective world because it does not cater to anyone's...

So something exists that I label God.

Good we could agree on that.

This argument may be a bit difficult to parse, but it is definitely either valid or not valid. So, if you have an opinion, thanks to share it.

Thus, proof that atoms exist only results in the existence of atoms being widely accepted as true.

This is of course very different from us knowing that atoms exist, since it may be false even if...

Yes? So you trust your intuition on that?
EB

Prove to me we are talking about the same thing.

Can't. There is no prior behavioral history for those who conclude intuition is thus and so because .... All I point out is that...

But then it is just a case of you assuming the premises as true, which is fine. But it is still not a case of the reasoning proving something true on its own. You need both the valid reasoning and...

Ah, both not valid but not really at all the same thing. And this is a crucial point. Validity is not the same thing as formal validity. An enthymeme may be valid but by definition won't be formally...

Prove to me we are talking about the same thing.
EB

OK, it is your position.

Please note that logicians admit that arguments missing a premise may be valid. That is, logically valid. Not formally valid, but valid.

The idea is that we take into...
