- lutorm 10y agoMaybe I should have been clearer: Just because you say it's derivable "from logic" doesn't mean it is. No logic system can do anything without axioms, and the adoption of those axioms is an arbitrary choice.
- Randgalt 10y agoAxioms are not arbitrary - they simply are. An axiom is a recognition of the nature of reality.
