flavor posted:I reject the concepts of "truth", flawlessness of debates or provable logic in reasoning pertaining to worldly affairs. Even math has inconsistencies and is based on unprovable axioms. Some may not see it as a big deal, but math does not have inconsistencies. One inconsistency in a formal system allows you to prove anything from that system. Following Godel's proof, which is the only thing close to this claim, we arrive at the conclusion that mathematics is incompletable. This means that there exists a non-empty set of theorems that are undecidable in a given system. This is very different from being inconsistent.
