About the left's rejection of a prior knowledge being able to describe reality, yes, if that's what you meant
So now you tell me, whats the right answer?
To what question?
Why do you reject the left's premises?
What premises?
They reject logic.
Premises can be illogical
But, what I discussed
Alogical really.
What did they get wrong?
The left is too broad a term. If I'm criticising empericists, then I would simply point out that if only empirically testable claims can be true, then the claim that only empirically testable claims can be true can't be true because it is not empirically testable.
I shouldve used a posteriori knowledge instead of empirical
They refer to both
The former refers specifically to Kant's terms
They reject that a priori knowledge is possible, so I don't see a difference.
How are you different?
Do you believe contradictions exist?
No.
The cosmos is a tautology, bruh.
Let me play devil advocate
The sun existing is factually true
How do we know the sun exists?
No, that it will rise tomorrow
How do we know it will rise tomorrow?
Yes
What's your point?
Just answer
We have good reason to believe it will, but we can't know with absolute certainty.
is the russian thing really over?
What Russian thing?
@halfthink How do you know the sun exists?
Our mind is flawed right?
For example hallucinations
Its our own subjective experience
Sure.
So?
So what?
Then how do we know things posses an identity?
They are intersubjectively verifiable.
How?
