No, one simply denies them. But, even if one HAD to USE them, that would not prove them. I might use several axioms to derive a contradiction.
So one or more of your 'axioms' are not true and not really axioms. The method is called reductio ad absurdum.
No, it just means the axioms are incompatible.
And, reductio ad absurdum is quite a bit more general than proof by contradiction, but I won't quibble.
But this all began not with a disagreement over the law of identity, but over the law of non-contradiction.
Which are closely related. And no, this all began with you being a cheap charlantan who can't write a semi consistent rant. Since your rants are laughably inconsistent you embarked in even more stupid rants trying to 'prove'...who knows what about the 'logical' status of contradictory nonsense.
But, since you're familiar with reductio ad absurdum, perhaps you'd also like to read up on examples of ad hominems as well.
As used as a colloquial (and snobbish) synonym for insult? It's not the same thing as the 'informal fallacy' you know... Showing that Mr Smith is wrong and then calling him an asshole is not an 'ad hominem'...
Are they related? Yes, they are among the three classical laws of logic. That is their relation. Other than that, they do not depend on each other whatsoever.
Holding to them as in some way objective is a matter of tradition, convenience, and little more than that.
I am well aware that you ignored my reply to your nonsensical example with iran and nukes for instance, So fuck off.
I did ignore it. Because replying was futile with someone who doesn't even have a grasp of axioms, and proof. But, if you insist:
No I don't.
From the USA/Iran's individual points of view, it is logical and rational to pursue the stated goals. It is rational for USA to prevent Iran from obtaining a nuke.
And you are still not addressing my reply. You first ignored my reply and now you are repeating your same stupid bullshit. "But if an axiom that Iran is operating by is that sooner or later, given USA's historical performance in the region, they WILL get invaded regardless," That is NOT an axiom. But hey, keep redefining words, equivocating and the like.
The principle of non-contradiction IS denied, by example, in the philosophical school of dialetheism.
Nonsense.
What is nonsense? The philosophical school of dialetheism? Fine, that is your opinion. I'll wager you couldn't argue against any of it, successfully though.
LMAO! Oh, but that would be 'false' according to my 'axioms' and 'true' according to 'your' axioms. Or perhaps the other way around? Or any combination of combinatorial nonsense that your alpha superpowers could conjure? Or that a fucking intellectual fraud and charlatan could come up with.
But in any case, it is TRUE that this school of thought exists.
Of course. Jew-kkkristianity also 'exists'. And JESUS! And santa claws. Even unicorns. They exist as fantasy creatures or mental vomits in the case of jew-kkkristian religion. Et cetera.
And it is TRUE that they reject the classical principle of non-contradiction; at least within certain bounds.
Pussies. They don't even have the balls to completely reject it?
You can use quite simple mathematics -- nothing more than algebra, to characterize an audio amplifier, and an audio microphone. Under the right conditions, those components will generate feedback -- and at that point, algebra is entirely insufficient to characterize the system's performance.
a1 = 1 a2 = 0 v = 0 p = 0 k_r = -0.01 data=[] for c in range(0, 1000): a2 = p * k_r at = a1 + a2 v = v + at p = p + v data.append(p) So, what does the 1000 points figure in data[] look like? Why, it's a sine (or cosine, whatever). So, combine (sum up or 'integrate') a bunch of linear operations and you get a curve. Recursive corner cutting is also a nice example of this. And what of it? The curve is STILL ruled by the 'linear' 'logic' used to create it.
In the same way, with governments, social systems, and so on where emergent behavior and feedback are at play, one needs a wider view than merely the algebraic philosophical notions that gave rise to a government, or simple economic modeling only according to one view, and so on.
bla bla bla and oh more bla bla bla
I don't either. I've explained several times that axioms are assumptions,
There you go again...Axioms are NOT suppositions.
Wait for it...
r if you prefer, propositions, and are not subjected to PROOF. You disagreed, so I quoted sources.
There we go.. right. So PROPOSITIONS, then. Statements that ARE REGARDED (but not necessarily) as self-evidently true.
Oh yes, I then realized that your 'definition' was POORLY worded by some subjectivist retard. Big deal.
Not subject to proof, as you claimed. Let's just be clear about that. You claimed that axioms can be proven. They cannot.
OK, let play your game. THey can't be proven. Are they still true? How THE FUCK do you know they are true?
There ARE different systems of logic, with different axioms. The axioms cannot be PROVEN, and therefore it is a matter of CHOICE which system you're using. That choice may be for any reason,
So truth is a matter of choice? And Party 'Agreement' of course! You are still got getting O'Brien's quote huh. And of course, since you don't believe in really proving anything, you just vomit nonsense and believe or 'assume' it's 'self-evident' in some deranged mental universe or other. Cool.
really. Utility
Utiliy is just an arbitrary linguistic construction that exists in your collective mind. Created by the dialectical structures of post-capitalism and patriarchy deprivation. With influence from pre-semiotical sub-cultural displacements.
Your statement about axioms was quite wrong. They are not subject to proof. You're now trying to walk that back and play a different angle -- one that I handed to you -- that of self-evidence.
Don't make up stuff . I provided my version (correct) and even went with your defination.
Denial #1.
And in any case, in philosophy, and informal logic, axioms cannot be proven, as you have stated.
I didn't state that. But it's beside the point anyway.
Denial #2.
Refutation:
On Wed, October 5, 2016 6:11 am, YOU said:
Again, truth is NOT a matter of agreement. And axioms are not to be 'agreed' upon. Also, AXIOMS CAN BE PROVEN. If axioms couldn't be proven then any statement based on them would be...unproven, meaningless, useless, et cetera.
Emphasis mine.
Yes, I STATED that AXIOMS CNA BE PROVEN. So far so good? You then commented "And in any case, in philosophy, and informal logic, axioms cannotbe proven, as you have stated." So what you actually meant is that axioms cannot be proven in the way I suggested they can be proven? I'd say that your remark was poorly worded and ambiguous, but hey. this shitty imperial language is not my native language. This would have been better : "And in any case, in philosophy, and informal logic, axioms cannotbe proven, CONTRARY TO WHAT you have stated." Of course, I 'disagree'. Bu then, it is self-evident that you are dishonest charlatan, willing to play the 'subjective' bullshit card whenever he feels like it.
