You agree with gibberish? What do you agree with? — Bartricks
The correspondence theory of truth is not a substantial theory of truth. It is true - no one disputes that it is true - but it is true because it is trivial. It says "a proposition is true when it corresponds to the facts", yes? — Bartricks
Dialetheism is the position that some statements are both true and false, i.e. that some contradictory propositions express what is termed “true contradictions”. I hold disregard for dialetheism, but the point is that it uses reason to make and substantiate this assertion. Dialetheism stands in contradiction to the law of noncontradiction (the LNC), which also uses reason to make and substantiate its assertion.
If truth is that which Reason asserts, given that reason can assert both dialetheism and the LNC, would both dialetheism and LNC be true?
If they’re not both true, wouldn’t this evidence that truth is not a product of what reasoning asserts? Reason can assert both dialetheism and the LNC but, here, they’re not both true – hence one given which reason asserts is here necessarily false.
Alternatively, if they are both true, then how does this not negate the LNC in favor of dialetheism and, in the process, evidence that truth is not a product of what reasoning asserts? Reason can assert the LNC but, if both dialetheism and the LNC are true, the LNC would necessarily be false as entailed by the true contradiction of both being true – thereby again making something which reason asserts false. — javra
Reason has her perspective of what is true - it’s a limited perspective, but she’s not aware of this - and she ignores and excludes new information that cannot be reduced to logical argument. — Possibility
In other words it isn't possible in the context of logical thought which is the basis of reason to know what is the case without knowing why it is the case, — Janus
Just carefully go through Bartramp's comments and pick out from a slew of self-contradiction. Stop wasting your time my friend. — creativesoul
Just because we have good evidence or good reasons (logic) to support a conclusion that doesn't mean we know for example the causes behind the conclusion, or even all the reasons behind the conclusion. — Sam26
...truth is the property of being a proposition that Reason asserts to be the case. When Reason asserts that something is the case, it is the case. Her asserting it, and its being true are one and the same. — Bartricks
I do not know what you mean by LNC, or how what you're saying responds to what I have already said about this.
Dialetheism is the theory that there can be true contradictions.
That's not a theory about truth, but a theory about what can be true.
It is consistent with my theory. — Bartricks
Reason doesn't assert. Such talk is nonsense. — creativesoul
Ironic coming from someone who substantiates none of his own insubstantial claims, — Janus
Argument? Oh, I forgot, you're one of those - you know, virtually everyone here - who thinks that if they say something, it is so. — Bartricks
No, there's an argument in the OP. Read it. Not my fault you don't know an argument from your elbow. You just need more edumacation, that's all. Get some, come back. Read the OP. Then address the argument rather than just saying things. — Bartricks
Your typical response to almost everyone. — Janus

If we define the universe as everything humanly capable to comprehend, and the AI is able to learn and learns everything, possibly more than human comprehension, and is able to communicate everything that it has learned to humans, then it itself should be defined as human comprehension, thus making it the universe. — ep3265

Argument? — Bartricks
Argument? Oh, I forgot, you're one of those - you know, virtually everyone here - who thinks that if they say something, it is so. No need to argue. No need to engage with any argument another has presented. Just say it - just express yourself. It's all about self-expression - just be yourself, you can't possibly be wrong. — Bartricks
