This is definitionally inacurrate, logic is the inferring of true conclusions from valid premises, science is the emprical process of solving a problem through the testing of a hypothesis via experimentation and other forms of verification.

So, they are not the same thing even by definition.

However, science is almost always false and I will address @blackjack21 here too as to why this is not hyperbole.

To give an example; the common belief that the sun is the cause of heat and light, or that coldness is the cause of water freezing, are both beliefs which are logically fallacious and therefore cannot be true.

This is because both beliefs rests on the inductive inferences wherein past observations or observed correlations are used as the basis from which a "causal connection" is inferred; however, these inferences are fallacious for using a finite amount of observations to infer a necessity is a instance of the composition fallacy; likewise, inferring a necessary relationship from a correlation is impossible (cum hoc ergo propter hoc) and likewise inferring a necessary relationship (cause) from a sequence of observed events is similarly impossible (post hoc ergo propter hoc); hence, unless you are omniscient, you cannot know if any observed relationship is in fact causal or necessary, this is true about even things as innocuous and common as gravitation, the boiling point of water, or the setting of the sun. You cannot say that it is "true" that any of these things will happen in the future without violating logic.

This being the case, science is unable to determine truth, and since knowledge is justified-true-belief, then if follows that science cannot be the basis of any actual knowledge whatsoever.

So no, science is not logic, in fact its quite the opposite; only propositions can be true and thus a causal relationship (which requires a universal truth) cannot be determined by science, but only by logical necessity.

Furthermore, the hypothetical-deductive method is inherently fallacious in affirming the consequent.


Science is false.

Likewise, logic and direct perception requires the fundamental beliefs of the True Religion, per my argument, which I challenged you to debate and you refused.

You think that everything should be locally made? To keep the family institution forced together?


Correct.

Is there an argument here?

SSDR wrote: If you got into a car accident and you need surgery, you don't want a surgeon to operate on you?


Probably not, actually.

SSDR wrote:Happiness does not come from money at all. I never said that. But what you said makes you sound like you support poverty.


Take it as you wish. Is this supposed to be an argument?

SSDR wrote:In a socialist economy, why would the general populace need guns? More guns means more crime.

Family and morals are oppressive. Marijuana is social decay. There is a difference between progress and social decay.


Socialists have actually been pro-gun because guns are necessary for an armed proletariat in the revolution to take control of the means of the production. To support the disarming of the working class by the state (which is currently under the control of rich billionaires; i.e. the bourgeois) is neo-liberal, but its far from marxist-leninism.

And no, more guns does not mean more crime, but even if it did, so what? How is that an argument against gun ownership? After all, I prefer dangerous freedom to peaceful slavery.

A concept that I am sure is unintelligible to the socialist.

If you wish to debate the objective rights of man as determined from plain reason, I have also challenged you to do so in the past, and you refused.

Fortunately for you, my offer remains open.

@Victoribus Spolia, Logic does not require religion. Socialist movements have been pro gun in capitalist economies, but once capitalism is overthrown, then there is no point of common gun ownership since there is no elite to be overthrown.

You support poverty, and you don't support universal health care. There doesn't need to be an argument. Because all you're going to do is use religion to back that up, so that religion could be used to cope with poverty and not having access to highly talented surgeons.

@SSDR

Logic does not require religion, it requires MY RELIGION actually.

If you wish to contest this claim, feel free to accept my challenge and debate my argument.

Further, I am glad to see that you have dropped your previous claim that science is logic, that was a wise move on your part.

SSDR wrote:Socialist movements have been pro gun in capitalist economies, but once capitalism is overthrown, then there is no point of common gun ownership since there is no elite to be overthrown.


I am glad you are pro-gun RIGHT NOW, as we live in capitalist economies. I am looking forward to seeing you support my side of the debate when I debate anti-gun and pro gun-control folks here on the forum.

I will expect it.

That is your interpretation of my views; however, this simplistic summary is quite irrelevant.

My religion and morality can be established from plain reason just as it can be established from special revelation. The challenge is out there for you and you were already given the links.

Until then....Godspeed.

@Victoribus Spolia No, logic doesn't require "Your" religion. Science is logic.

I am against random civilians having access to guns because they don't need them, and it would prevent crime and chaos. Guns are only okay if to go against criminals, revolt against the capitalist elite, fight in wars against hostile civilizations, or to handle social abuse. But I do not support the "gun ownership" that libertarian rightists like you do.

I have already shown that it does in my proof, feel free to accept my previous challenge and go and debate it. I will be waiting.

Otherwise, this is nothing but hot air.

SSDR wrote:Science is logic.


I have refuted this claim and you have failed to address my arguments. Please do so; otherwise, this repeating of your original claim shall be dismissed as unsubstantiated.

So you as a "socialist," support the tyranny of the bourgeois (the state) disarming the working class (proletariat)?

How revolutionary of you.

A statement, not a rebuttal.

A revolution would never get off the ground with that idea.



, and it would prevent crime and chaos.


Guns being used to clean up crime and chaos work pretty damn well.


Guns are only okay if to go against criminals, revolt against the capitalist elite, fight in wars against hostile civilizations, or to handle social abuse.


Right, pretty much anytime, then.



But I do not support the "gun ownership" that libertarian rightists like you do.


You just don't want to have to concede the point to VS.

@Victoribus Spolia Science is logic. Science proves things. Without science, we would be still stuck in deep poverty, ignorance, and extreme oppression.

Different conditions require different solutions. In a pure socialist society, random people having access to guns is not necessary.

You seem to strongly invest to calling me a "Pure Marxist Socialist." I never claimed that I am a Marxist. I am no follower of Marx since socialism is revolutionary, and that me following some guy from 150 years ago is not revolutionary, and that the conditions that we are in today are different than during the times of Karl Marx.

I am a Scientific socialist. Marx himself even called himself a scientific socialist. The term "Marxism" was created by capitalists like you to make socialism look unattractive.
#14996197
@annatar1914 There is no such thing as a "friend." "Friends" are social constructs that keep society under a social hierarchy. If one cannot be friends with every single human that ever existed, then one must not allow any social construct like that, or else they would be promoting a social hierarchy.

There is no issue with debating about the internal factors within a socialist revolution. But VS is not a socialist.

Not an argument, nor is it a rebuttal against my refutation of your claims.

One does not need to manipulate terms to make socialism look unattractive, its actual principles and the way they have been historically practiced are sufficient disincentives for anyone with an IQ above 3.

SSDR wrote:Different conditions require different solutions. In a pure socialist society, random people having access to guns is not necessary.


Yes, but you said that not needing guns was a position for a post-captialist society, since we are pre-captialist you should be pro-gun, and I would love to see you make an argument as to how it is consistent with "revolutionary-socialism" to support a billionaire controlled government in its efforts to ban access to firearms by the working class.

I'm all ears.

You're going to have a very hard time. Especially in the context of this thread. You will find that the Red Wheel of History runs in the opposite direction, as I have found. How you take that when you discover it will make all the difference between weal and woe.

@Victoribus Spolia It doesn't need to be a fucking argument.

"its actual principles and the way they have been historically practiced are sufficient disincentives for anyone with an IQ above 3. " That was a weak ass statement you tried to do lmfaooooo. And if someone's IQ was 3, they would probably be dead because they are so dumb that they don't know how to breathe. Look up come backs online, maybe you could be more effective.
