I think Godel may have disproved you on that.


Pretty sure the incompleteness theorem doesn't enable one to study things one cannot study. (eg imagine a logic for which one could not write down the axioms but was nonetheless 'consistent' by some external measure)


Yeah, but you made a statement about the kind of logic you cannot study, so we can begin by formalizing that.


I suppose an easy way out is to show that such a thing cannot exist in the way that other mathematical structures exist, trivially showing that you have studied all of it that there is(n't) to study.


Never mind true or false, it is completely irrelevant that you are studying ternary logic.

edit to add -

I can imagine an even greater being studying ontological logic.


Citation needed. I'm not aware of people who have been persuasively shown to be innocent post-execution.

In that case you have done very little research and cannot really be trusted to have an informed opinion on the matter.


I'm aware of death penalty abolitionists who argue that innocents have been executed. I'm not aware of persuasive evidence. If it were trivial to find some, surely you would have just posted a link instead of an insult.

"Citation needed" isn't an insult. It's pointing out an unsupported assertion. "Go do some fucking legwork, asshole" is an insult.

I note with some dismay that you still haven't identified a single innocent who's been executed.


It takes only a small amount of induction to conclude that given the number of death row exonerations pre-execution, there almost certainly have been innocent persons executed.

If you hold out for conclusive proof, you will probably not find it, as it's a bit of a fool's errand to attempt to exonerate a dead man when you could devote that effort to exonerating one who the state has not yet committed manslaughter upon.


What premise are you basing that induction on, and how are you excluding the theory that the appeals system just works well?


> Go do some fucking legwork, asshole

We've banned this account. You can't do this here.


I think you are underestimating polemic.


Cynic is not a pejorative term, is more of a philosophical outlook.


A Mobius strip is, and it seems in this story you whichever direction you take, you end up back at a single mans testimony for a plea.


> Mobius strip

Cute. But it's by no means clear that this is some miscarriage of justice.

Only one off the top of my head. Pilot did get pretty famous for it though.

edit - Vlad the Impaler probably also counts, given he was the Voivode of the Polity of Wallachia, so he was basically a military governor.



I do wonder though, given the outcome, whether they did get a knock from the wolf.

He's thirty minutes away. He'll be there in ten.


He's precise like that.


Your response is a non sequitur, which could explain the downvoting (though certainly not by me). My comment was a reference to this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ANPsHKpti48


The page is down.


Then why are you under the table?
