Rabbinical Judaism (Pilpul) was to Lying, what Greek Logic (Mathematics) was to Truth. Between lying and truth was an opportunity for lying by myth.

8 – Why can we do it easily? Because (really) all truth sounds the same, and all falsehood sounds different. The problem is that falsehood is, like sugar and spice, more entertaining, and goes down easier.

@MaganeUsoNoUso 7 – So just as a sculptor can build a bust out of clay, or he can carve one from stone, we can find what is true, by carving away, even if we can’t find it from building it up. … Now, can you do this? Yes, and with practice, pretty easily.

@MaganeUsoNoUso 6 – Now, we can’t ever be certain that very much about anything complicated is completely true, but we can eliminate so much of what people say that very little remains.

@MaganeUsoNoUso 5 – But others can and have been able to afford that measurement and testing. So the question is, how can we test the words, measurements, and tests of others who were able to afford the patience, time, energy, and cost?

@MaganeUsoNoUso 4 – We call this process of measurement and testing ‘science’. The problem with that system of measurement and testing is that there are things we can afford, and there are things we cannot afford to measure and test – including our patience, time, and energy.

1-You know, you shouldn’t be hard on yourself for asking that question, because it’s probably the hardest question. I spent most of my adult life on that question and I gotta tell you it was very hard, and I only solved it by standing on the shoulders of relatively recent giants.

@curtdoolittle I’ve been stuck on this question and have been unable to find a way to answer it that seems complete: How can we trust our senses are trustworthy to falsify whether or not something is true? Is this simply just a question simply born out of Cartesian trickery?

1) If you cannot produce an operational description, then you do not know of what you speak.
2) Logic consists of tests of constant relations between two or more states by contrast (competition).
3) The Logics consist of GRAMMARS: rules of continuous disambiguation that allow us to isolate and test constant relations between states.
4) We have produced GRAMMARS that include positional names (math), perceivable dimensions of reality (modal logic), through ordinary language, through fictions (archetypes and plots), through the fictionalisms (theology, mythology, pseudo rationalism, and pseudoscience), and even deceit (really, it’s possible to articulate the grammar of deceit -the rules of conflation, inflation, suggestion, obscurantism, overloading ).
5) The logical program is still unscientific (justificationary) since it is impossible to prove a truth only demonstrate (prove) a possibility. Ergo, the purpose of the logics is not to prove truths, which is impossible outside of reductio (trivial and meaningless), but to identify falsehoods.
6) This is why (a) demands for proof rather than requests for explanation are all acts of fraud or fallacy, and (b) we do not seek to prove anything in science, only demonstrate we cannot falsify it and as such it remains a truth candidate.
7) The only certainties are falsehoods, and all else is a truth candidate. (Critical rationalism), and furthermore, that other than cost, truth candidates are absent comparative probability.
