This would remove a lot of the 'chronic dissatisfaction and an inability to find joy,' you suggest is so currently prominent. — universeness
Deductive logic only operates on propositions. The propositions have to come from somewhere. If you follow a logical chain of propositions back to the beginning, you'll come to one that can't be generated by deductive logic. — T Clark
Propositions can be generated by inductive logic. Following a standard scientific type process, you start with observations, use them to generate hypotheses, and then test those hypotheses against further observations. — T Clark
E.g. do you think universeness's opposition to anti-natalism comes from logic? His baloney gestures to logic are just a cover to support his desire that ideas he doesn't agree with should be censored. — T Clark
That's not inductive reasoning. Induction is like when you see the sun rise in the east every morning and conclude that the sun always rises in the east. — frank
