Hello Badass

Special K says:

"The empirical derivation, however, to which both of them resorted, cannot be reconciled with the reality of the scientfic cognition a priori that we possess, that namely of pure mathematics and general natural science, and is therefore refuted by fact."


That is, Hume is dumb with skepticism because we obviously do know stuff.


I find myself in these mental sparring matches all of the time these days. My friends say, "There's a whole bunch of truths to this" and "There's more than one right answer" and things in this ball park. There's many right answers. Everything is relative. Every answer is the right answer to some degree.

Before we get into the Analytic versus Continental versus Diethism match, however, can we please just note that people build stuff? People find stuff out in sciences!
People cure other people in medicine!

Before you grab hold of skepticism remember the real world.
