It may be extremely narcissistic, but there is no way for you to prove nor disprove it. That is, in very broad strokes, also the point Kant makes.

- AnimalMuppet 3y agoNot everything that I can't disprove should be taken seriously.
- qudat 3y agoWhy so negative?
- AnimalMuppet 3y agoWhy do you perceive that as negative? To me, it's freeing. Great, someone created some philosophical position that is not provably wrong. That doesn't mean that I have to take it seriously.
- qudat 3y agoIt was a joke. Your sentence was hard to read because it had 3 negatives in it: > [Not] everything that I [can't] [disprove] should be taken seriously.
- AnimalMuppet 3y agoAh, I see. Well, in that case, I was negative because I couldn't think how to phrase it better in the positive (or with only one negative). I tried to come up with a good story, and was then going to say "you can't prove it wrong ;-)", but my imagination failed me...
- svnt 3y agoIt hasn’t been disproven. That doesn’t mean it can’t.
- mypalmike 3y agoIt's quite difficult to imagine an experiment that would disprove that the experimenter's experiences are intended solely for them.
- mannykannot 3y agoIt is difficult to imagine an experiment even providing evidence, let alone proof, either way. Language gives us the ability to ask questions which cannot be answered.
- svnt 3y agoIt seems it could be trivially disproven functionally. Putting aside ethics we could assign a population to go around behaving as though everything exists for their own experience and see how well that population propagates.
