So, following your "reasoning," you cannot know I did not eat a brontosaurus for breakfast this morning.that is not impossible to know due to epistemic limitations... so it can't be claimed by all epistemic knowledge it is possible you ate a brontosaurus this morning... worst parody by analogy ever...
Pyrrho Wrote:It is not "nihilism" to observe that you cannot know what I had for breakfast.and that makes sense... since you gave the worst parody by analogy ever... of course they don't have the same implications.
Pyrrho Wrote:Your claim: "this would be nihilism, the belief we cannot know what's actually true" is pure bullshit nonsense.why don't you put what I said in context a little more... I said given all epistemic knowledge solipsism could be true, to conclude that knowledge can't reasonably establish solipsism actually could be true would imply nihilism. it's easier to try and show i'm using logical leaps when you only address part of what I say, isn't it?
since you didn't respond to my answer to your criticism of premise 3, i'm going to assume that's resolved until you say otherwise. so the only remaining dispute is premise 2, which I'm addressing.
I do not feel obliged to believe that the same God who has endowed us with senses, reason, and intellect has intended us to forgo their use and by some other means to give us knowledge which we can attain by them.
