Sweet! GT puts himself down for the Transcendental Argument again and for The Seven Things again, Part II: See Post #3945.
GT, do you see the point the guy in the video is trying to make yet? Do you see the problem with the attempt to overthrow the TAG yet?
No, of course not.
The point the guy in the video is trying to make about the axioms of human cognition, in this case, the purported actualities of God's existence and/or the universality of logic
according to "the testimony" of the imperatives of organic logic, is that because logic and the axioms thereof are necessarily
prescriptive/normative in nature, they do
not directly describe reality, YOU THICK-HEADED DUNCE!
Hence, he concludes that they are
not necessarily universal truths and do
not necessarily hold/apply universally as the TAG purports. Hence, the TAG allegedly fails.
And all the sheep, well, except for the super duper sheep among them, like GT, who don't really grasp the argument their HERO is making, go "bah bah bah." Oh, wait a minute! GT goes "bah bah bah." just the same.
Once again, your HERO's argument necessarily concedes the fact that these axioms at the very least do hold in organic logic.
However, his is an academic objection in nature premised on the informal standards of logical fallacy: the axioms are not logical necessities of justified true belief/knowledge as the TAG purports . . . . but only logical possibilities/hypotheticals . . . because, supposedly, they are arguments
from ignorance/beg the question.
(Oh, by the way, Amrchaos, stop complaining about the length of some of my posts. It's easy to make mindless, bald declarations about things nitwits never think through. It's quite another thing to entangle falsehoods, especially when I have to spell things out, think for others, you know, since others prefer mindless, bald declarations to thinking things out for themselves.)
But:
We do not impose the fallacies of informal logic on the primary axioms/tautologies of human cognition . . . because the latter are the logical necessities of formal logic that do not go away regardless of what labels morons slap on them; we only apply the fallacies of informal logic to (1) the secondary propositions of logical possibility apparent to human cognition when they are fallaciously/mistakenly asserted as if they were (2) logical necessities of human cognition (you know, because they're not actually the latter at all, but the former, i.e., the secondary propositions of logical possibility).
If it were sensible to impose the fallacies of informal logic on the primary axioms/tautologies of formal logic, as morons like GT and his HERO in the video would have it, all of the primary axioms/tautologies of formal logic would be fallacies, including axioms that never go away like 2 + 2 = 4.
(And don’t give me any of QW’s barking madness that the principle of identity does not by necessity foundationally and, therefore, universally apply in all forms of logic, which is what he falsely and stupidly implied, including in constructive logic, which merely suspends, as an operation of the principle of identity,
the law of the excluded middle and
double negation elimination for analytic purposes.)
Ah! But what’s the real irony in all of this?
Drum roll
GT—inadvertently, unwittingly, via a Freudian slip —apprehends that logic must ultimately apply to all of reality
descriptively, albeit,
above the level of human cognition . . . otherwise our assumption that the physical laws of nature are reliably synchronized with organic logic renders everything we think we know about the empirical world beyond is . . . well, problematical to say the least.
Everything the delineations of the laws of organic logic compel us to believe is that there must ultimately be an all-encompassing Agent of Logic (for Whom the laws of logic are
not merely prescriptive,
but descriptive, as One Whose consciousness has primacy over all of existence) directing traffic from above the level of the cosmological order’s existence, the Agent of Logic Who makes sure that the logic He gave us, which is His own logic, lines up with the logic He gave to the physical laws of nature, which is also His own logic!
GT, stamp
#6 of
The Sevens Things on your forehead. Hunt down the idiot in that video and stamp it on his too.
Any questions?
