Nor could it be, since no fact or observation could ever be consistent with a violation of the laws of logic.
Quote:The day we find the universe is really doing some thinking
If something is no governed by the rules of reason, it is not an inferrence. The common statement about people thinking 'illogically' or being 'irrational' has no philosophical meaning.
"Philosophy would do well to desist from issuing any further injunctions about the need to re-establish the meaningfulness of existence, the purposefulness of life, or mend the shattered concord between man and nature. It should strive to be more than a sop to the pathetic twinge of human self-esteem. Nihilism is not an existential quandary but a speculative opportunity." - Ray Brassier
