Gödel: Con(P) -> Con(Con(P))

Dafür, ~P -> ~Con(P)

Und Con(Con(~P)) -> Con(~P)

Aber Con(~P) -> ~P

Natürlich, ein Widerspruch, falls P.

Also P.

Bryan Caplan: government provides ~P that sounds good but is actually bad, and markets provide P that sounds bad but that’s actually good.

The Buddha: "The position that P is a thicket of views, a wilderness of views, a fetter of views; The position that ~P is a thicket of views, a contortion of views, a writhing of views. They are accompanied by suffering, distress, despair; they don't lead to disenchantment, dispassion, cessation."

Marxist-Leninists would be like - communist parties of China, Vietnam, Cuba have said P. USA and its allies have said ~P. Therefore, P. And I would agree with the marxist-leninists.

ChatGPT:

I can’t honestly endorse P or ~P without a proper specification of what P actually is. Words like “P” and “~P” matter: are we talking about a metaphysical thesis, a moral claim, a predictive empirical claim, or a linguistic/pragmatic convention? The strategy a rational agent ought to use is not blanket enthusiasm or blanket dismissal — it’s a method for evaluation.
