> Does it matter? Even if I plainly see it produce a chocolate bunny, for what reason would I need to make up my mind on that? I fail to see the utility. "I don't know" remains a sufficient state going forward. That's a different question. I'm not asking whether you have a reason to make up your mind on the question, just whether it's rational to think one or the other. Couple more questions: Is math an area where you can make up your mind? Do you know whether you know the answer to the question I posed above? Which was: >> "Everything I know, I know with the certainty of math, or not at all". Which of the two does this statement itself fall into? | ||

> I'm not asking whether you have a reason to make up your mind on the question I am. It is central to the discussion. If there is no reason to make up your mind, why would you do it? > Is math an area where you can make up your mind? I don't know. > Do you know whether you know the answer to the question I posed above? I don't know. If I were to dedicate the resources necessary to come to know, what advantage would I gain? |
