How would you measure logic? Or scepticism? Or naturalism?

This may be news to you @robvalue, but the act of observation is measurement.

Are you saying that philosophy is not observable?

Why do you persist to post non-scientific nonsense?

No. Measurement is a specific sort of observation, which is laid out according to standards agreed-upon previously.

The special pleading is strong in you, Jordan.

ProgrammingGodJordan Wrote:As far as science goes, philosophy is yet another measurable thing, that is not outside of human observation/measurement

Human observation/measurement is non-absolute, for any event, as far as science prescribes..

Do explain how your quote below, invalidates the above:

Separately, what do humans do, beyond observation/measurement?

I have not once, stated anything with certainty.

This is probably because as a human, I can't do any absolute measurements.  (uncertainty principle)

So, the "all that can be known to exist" bit appears to be a statement that wants (but can't, as far as uncertainty principle) to describe an absolute condition.

Yes, philosophy is not observable, you arrogant prick. You can't see abstract concepts.

You can observe people doing philosophy, and measure their brains or whatever. But that's not measuring philosophy itself.

It appears you hadn't started to begin with:



You:  Philosophy is not observable.

Dictionary (0): Philosophy is the study of......

Dictionary (1): To study is to observe...




It appears you don't bother to check the dictionary before you express nonsense/embarrass yourself....
