Strictly speaking, pondering cogito ergo sum implies that thinking exists. And, deductively, that's about it, according to Gassendi (1592-1655). Think...

... is illogical. As mentioned, ? is not just one of your ordinary numbers, that you can stuff into ordinary arithmetic. That would be the illogical p...
Nitpicking, I'd say ... 1. we employ logic to understand reality has served us well; for that matter, meaning presupposes identity 2. if ? derives a c...

Suppose it's true that I posted this. What's the difference between it being absolutely true and true? Nutn' really. It's not like it becomes less tru...
Too bad . :confused: Furthermore, there's an inconspicuous sleight of hand move in P1 Presumably "we" refers to us, humans at large, like other forums...
I admittedly did not read the whole document. :meh: P1: 1. I cannot experience your self-awareness (I'd then be you instead) 2. by P1 we cannot possib...

Not sure it's worthwhile mentioning the obvious, but that's what a bijection does, @"Metaphysician Undercover". Feel free to derive the contradiction ...
It's called a bijection. (Fairly basic high school mathematics, if memory serves.) Kind of odd to just deny something without really knowing about it....
In short, I can't perceive anything if I'm not around. But that does not entail that anything isn't around. Conflating epistemics and ontology (which,...
