Reply to comment by daikarasu in Logical positivism does not dispense with metaphysics, as it aimed to. It merely proposes a different kind of metaphysics, in which natural sciences take the privileged position once occupied by rationalist metaphysics. by IAI_Admin

No I don't mean a belief.

>Because you're equating subjective truths to objective measurements.

You only think that because you don't understand Relativity. Length, time's rate of passage, and the order of events is not an objective measurement if you measure from different frames of reference.

>If you take 2 identical people and send them through an identical journey through life, they will end up as entirely different people.

What makes you think that?

Edit:

>You cannot measure a person's perspective or how their view changes.

That's silly. You just ask.

Measurement is the key word here. The issue isn't that they are different, the issue is that they are measurable. You can demonstrate in absolute mathematics what is happening and why it looks different from different perspectives.

I challenge you, how do we measure people's perspectives?

>What makes you think that?

Because identical twins exist and they don't end up as the same people despite the fact that their genetic and nurtured environment are the same.

You ask. It isn't that complicated.

That's absurd. Twins only have very similar environments not identical ones.

Ok great explanation thanks.

Look, this has been fun, but it's pretty clear neither of us is going to budge an inch. We each hold our beliefs quite strongly. This has been an interesting conversation though, and I hope you have a nice day.

A truth being hard to check and there not being a truth are not the same thing.
