Faith and "Truth vs Utility"

[Edwardo Piet]

I can pretend something to be true, but in doing so, I've created a cognitive dissociation in doing so, defeating its utility. I don't see how thinking, something that's unfalsifiable, as true will make its utility desirable.

I presume you believe that other people have subjective interior mental states i.e. minds. I also imagine you tacitly accept that your senses reveal information about the a world that is objectively external to yourself. You might even believe that round objects are actually round in some meaningful sense. These beliefs are useful and unfalsifiable.

And such beliefs are certainly not science since they are beliefs about the noumenal. Science can only deal with the phenomenal. I agree with you but I wonder what your point is.
