    What does set theory have to do with absolute truth? And if there is no absolute truth, how can any aspect of set theory be valid?

        It’s a simple question. Can you explain? I’m not gonna go and substantiate your argument for you.

          I can, but I won’t. This is no longer an entertaining use of my time. I’m not going to explain the implications of Gödel’s Incompleteness Theorem to someone with such a shaky grasp of epistemology. Pearls before swine.

            It’s odd that you won’t explain your epistemology to someone, but you will claim moral/intellectual superiority in not explaining an actually important point after debating them on the hypothetical sentience of the sun for over a day. You can throw all the names of theorems you want at a conversation. but the simple fact is that “there is no absolute truth” is a self-contradictory statement. Any philosophy you build on such a fragile foundation is a non-starter.

              Which is precisely why I’m not going to explain epistemology to someone who has repeatedly demonstrated poor logical methodology.

                I can’t control what you believe at the end of the day, but I will encourage you not to believe in claims that are fundamental logical contradictions. You deserve better than that from yourself. In any case, have a good rest of the week.
