This is for the dried orange peels in my life.
Two central Philosophical Puzzles:

1.)
If proposition p = proposition p is false.
Is proposition p false?
(Russell's Paradox)

2.)
Every time I see A
it is followed by B
- suggests consistency of the universe

I see A
Given the consistency of the universe
B must follow

But now
I see the consistency of the universe
Given the consistency of the universe
Consistency of the universe must follow?

Thus

Invoking inductive logic is circular.
(Hume's Problem)

    1. use wittgenstein's theory of symbolism? lol

    2. on hume's problem i think it depends on the necessity.
    it only suggests the consistency so it isn't always true.

    ps. wooow optical illusion

    1...wittgenstein added nothing to this. russell had a resolution through types..but that too can go into infinite regression

    2...suggests versus necessity - that's just copping out...
