    Has anyone tried to kill the person who claims to have flipped a coin 50,000 times? No?

    Would the person have died for the claim? No?

    You can only demonstrate what something is not by first having a conception of what something is. Same reason why a purely apophatic theology is self-contradictory.

    Everyone is a philosopher - everyone has a theory of the world. Yours just doesn't line up with the way the world actually is.

    If you had any literacy regarding history - and it doesn't seem you do, as you are essentially holding to logical positivism (see above), which has been long dead - you would know that the authors of...

    This is how I know you have no idea about the history of philosophy. Ironically, in deriding metaphysical categories, you presuppose them. Logical positivism is long dead - the logical positivists...

    Okay, but when we say we know the truth, that has to refer to something definite. For example, truth is propositional. Propositions have objective meaning - more than one person can think them at the...

    Who are you "agreeing" with? Not me, because I never said it wasn't "necessarily knowable." Again, the point is that you even being open to a position which rejects objective truth is self-defeating...

    Logical consistency is a minimal criterion for truth. The purpose of the point I made about the limits of science is to show that it is not a minimal criterion for truth.
