Just Chat! / Can we be sure of our own existence
« on: 13/11/2021 06:39:04 »If you add enough "necessary axioms", you can end up believing whatever made them necessary. Hence religion, a flat earth supported on turtles, and other kinds of foolishness.The only thing we can be sure of is our own existence. Any other things can be deceiving, including our observations.
Better to start with observations.
An assumption is necessary if it can somehow be related to our existence.
