A song I wrote about my parents.

I am not a professional musician, I am a broken human being.

    you do not have a sufficient reason to know whether your knowledge is defunct or not.

    No, we use evidence. Observable evidence. “I think gravity exists.” We experiment. We demonstrate it. We can use it to make predictions. It goes from hypothesis to knowledge even if we don’t completely understand the underlying mechanics of it.

    Thus, if we deny the principle of sufficient reason, knowledge and truth cannot exist

    What a stupid thing to claim. I reject the PSR because there is no evidence for it. None of my other knowledge magically disappears as a result. If there was no truth, we would not be conversing right now.

      You cannot hold the belief that your knowledge is valid or invalid as you lack sufficient reason to hold it.

      If you deny the principle of sufficient reason, you fall into absurdism and contradiction. There’s no truth as there’s no sufficient reason deeming something true or false

      And yes, thats the point, truth exists and thus we are conversing.

        Wrong, I have evidence I have sensed with my senses and processed with my brain.

        If you deny the principle of sufficient reason, you fall into absurdism and contradiction.

        Can you demonstrate that?

        There’s no truth as there’s no sufficient reason deeming something true or false

        Wrong, there is evidence and we can repeatedly test it.

        And yes, thats the point, truth exists and thus we are conversing.

        Right. I believe you exist because you’re here. I don’t believe god exists because he’s never been here.
