Your brain does have access to all rational truth

• LoganDark 1y ago
  My brain has the ability to claim anything it wants as truth. I prefer for my truth to either be consistent with an objective or empirical truth, or be measurably opposed to truths I disagree with (and to a known degree). I don't always achieve this and I'm not always the best at being open-minded but it is the goal, I would think.

    Empirical truth is a lesser form of truth, look for necessary truth, purely rational

      Wha? Empirical truth is a lesser form of truth? What are you getting at there?
      • bowsamic 1y ago
        Empirical observation is contingent, so cannot be the basis of certain knowledge.

          Everything is contingent on empirical observation. Our rational brains are the product of pattern matching algorithms trained on empirical reality. There is no basis for rational thought that is not downstream of empiricism.
