Ah, yes, but what do you use to draw conclusions from data, if not logic? I understand that one can get to one's ideas without logic, but how does one get to a conclusion?

Does that make all data, nails?




Mrrzy, that sounds like your hammer is drawing conclusions from data. That's the scientific caste of mind, isn't it?

And all the assumptions hidden in that phrase are what even only philosophers of science (never mind those of other experiential/existential frameworks) would seek to uncover.

Just as with Bill, you seem not (to me) to realise that your framework/philosophy/vision/point of view is exactly that, a f/p/v/pv. LIke most of us, your f/p/v/pv is reality,for you. It is, for you, the way it is; THE way to handle the rest of the world, and to know it.

Just as each of us is liable to believe from top to bottom that OUR take on things IS NOT a mere take but, quite simply, the way it is.

That's how come so many of us get aggravated,annoyed, frustrated, angry, depressed, exasperated, contemptuous, et cetera, when another comes along and disagrees with our blindingly obviously true take on things.

Drawing conclusions from data is no less A way of dealing with the world than any other, omo.

When we are in the , for want of a better word, 'grip' of our view as the self-evident way, then other views, well, are wrong ot incomprehensible or both.( uh -eh- er -er - a - (like out of breath )
