Honor is falsifiable, to the degree is can be defined. An honorable person acts differently that a dishonorable one. Just because I say something is falsifiable

Honor is falsifiable, to the degree is can be defined. An honorable person acts differently that a dishonorable one. Just because I say something is falsifiable doesn't mean I'm asserting I can prove it. It just means that it is meaningful to prove it.
For example, I cannot prove that everyone in china is right handed, but that is certainly a falsifiable idea. One could go to china and ask each person: impossible, but meaningful.
An example of an idea that is not falsifiable is that my garage is inhabited by undetectable dragons. What use is this idea? What use is it to speak of things which cannot in any way be detected?
- sofal 17y agoThe repercussions of the unfalsifiable idea can be useful and falsifiable to a degree. They aren't always negative, either. For example, "I feel safer and sleep better at night because I believe my garage is inhabited by undetectable dragons."
