Androcat<p>I am fiddling with a taxonomy of unforced errors in philosophy and science.</p><p>Very WIP.</p><p>A big one is <strong>"Trying to define the naturally occurring"</strong>.<br>Some big doozies in here, like "truth" and "knowledge" and "word".<br>Examplifying: Plato didn't create the knowledge concept. People had been talking about what they knew or did not know for hundreds or thousands of years by then. "Knowledge" then is a naturally occurring concept, and its meaning would have needed to be discovered, not defined. Two thousand years down the drain trying to fix the unfixable.</p><p>Another example is morality. People have been talking about good and bad for thousands of years. Try to discover what they mean, and be prepared for the potential of contradiction, because reality isn't axiomatic.</p><p>A very general one: Focusing on validity, rather than soundness. So many astoundingly bad arguments get a pass on a correctness of form.<br>Interrogate the premises.</p><p><a href="https://toot.cat/tags/Philosophy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Philosophy</span></a> <a href="https://toot.cat/tags/UnforcedError" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>UnforcedError</span></a> <a href="https://toot.cat/tags/knowledge" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>knowledge</span></a> <a href="https://toot.cat/tags/argument" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>argument</span></a></p>
