I'm sure that it takes longer to dig a hold than to fill in the hole.

I am certain of analytic truths and tautologies. Most notably of the truth law of identity and the law of noncontradiction. Even if I stated them to be false, they would have to be assumed as true immediately prior to claiming they were false. Smile

Shit guys. I did not know that the Philosophy Forum was a place to just joke around. Maybe I should have had this in off-topic. Some funny stuff though.

I mean, I could joke around too but I was kinda anticipating something to ponder about.

Did you have in mind something like Descartes' foundational thought, I think therefore I am? In all seriousness I would dismiss that whole enterprise. The part of our brain that does logic and language is so new that to make the rest of our experience answerable to that part would just be odd. It is logic which should serve feeling and the rest of our wide range of experiences, not the other way around. Logic should be a servant, not the captain.
