Recently I ran across a paper somewhere where the conclusion was that logic is imposed by reality.

If it was written down it must be true.

Setting aside sarcasm, I doubt if such a paper would convince many skeptics. Noam Chomsky would probably buy it.

Noam Chomsky couldn't understand the concept of logic it requires.

If it was written down it must be true.

You know, I try to just talk about stuff, and I get so tired of smart asses. Like those that accuse me of being arrogant FIRST and then complain when I call them clowns.

I never initiate insults. This was uncalled for. All kinds of people say all kinds of stuff here, it is for mutual enlightenment.

Actually, I have long believed that logic is imposed by reality. I was just heartened to see someone else express the idea. It is a fact that cannot be refuted without resorting to it in the refutation, thus proving it true.

Setting aside sarcasm

little late for that.
