Response to Arcanus on Metaphysical Naturalism
#4
RE: Response to Arcanus on Metaphysical Naturalism
My point was that knowledge is just as "meaningless" if you accept the existence of any other realm. If the natural realm is all there is, knowledge is nothing more than a human concept; neurons firing in our brains.

If the supernatural realm exists as well, then knowledge is nothing more than <insert supernatural explanation for knowledge here>. Any way you look at it, it boils down to one realm asserting knowledge as something, and the improvability of that assertion.
