Arisians don't exist.

How does anyone prove that something claimed to exist doesn't exist? Maybe in mathematics that can be done, I'm not sure ... seems the non-existence of something is more likely something that can only be established to be increasingly probable. Not sure.
It is easy. If it doesn't agree with my world view, it is clearly fabricated gibberish.

(Bold mine) Usually, by demonstrating - either factually or definitionally - that the claimed something is absurd, impossible, etc. A frequent example is the 'married bachelor'. Boru

Yes, logical contradictions and internally incoherent stuff would seem good candidates for disproof.

That would be an informal proof. 'Cause there seem to be a lot of them. |
