Matt Dilahunty On The Logical Absolutes
#10
RE: Matt Dilahunty On The Logical Absolutes
I've been thinking about this (which may or may not be scary) but these absolutes seem to not be absolute when you apply them to some things/ideas in the real world.

Example: His circle analogy. Draw a circle around "everything". What's remains on the outside of the circle? Is it nothing? Is it "not everything", which then becomes something?

Example: Uncertainty. Schrodinger's cat. Heisenberg. 

Example: Some of the paradoxes: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_paradoxes

I am no great thinkifier. It's just that what he said in the vid does not feel logically absolute.
Being told you're delusional does not necessarily mean you're mental.
