@paninid fast forward to the present and scientists who barely study #philosophy label #metaphysics as #pseudoscience (forgetting what #PhD means), torment #logic for the benefit of "elegant" #math equations (e.g. antimatter, dark #matter), and design #AI #systems that weaponize #ethics as justification for #information #censorship (#ChatGPT "knows" but refuses to answer how to a hot wire a car or commit murder while claiming no #opinion, ignorant that words and actions are different)

#Aristotle named five interlinked Noble Sciences which together make up #Philosophy.

- #Metaphysics: the study of existence, the nature of the universe and all its contents

- #Logic: the ways we may know something, the set of permissible conclusions we may draw based on our perceptions, and some sensible rules of deduction and inference

- #Ethics: what we know about man and what we may deduce and infer (through Logic) about acceptable interactions between pairs of individuals

#UKPol #Economics #Logic #LINO . You cannot prove a negative. i.) 'no action' is not = higher waiting lists? ii.) Is that money 'ringfenced' ?? That lie, #BREXIT = £300 zillion squid for the #NHS The #NHS must be staffed / resourced to the gills by now. Only it isn't. #SOSNHS .
#RachelReeves has defended the £40bn in tax increases in autumn’s budget as businesses brace for their impact, saying #NHS waiting lists would now be higher if she had not taken action.

I’m just about to be on the road again, to talk about proof theory, modal logic, a hint of medieval logic, and even a tiny smidgen of metaphysics.

On this little European jaunt, the first stop is Prague, then Vienna, and at the end, Amsterdam. I’m looking forward to meeting old friends and making new ones. If you’re in that part of the world, and you’re into that sort of thing, I’d love to see you.
