Obviously, you have never read Karl Popper.

Quoting: 4Q529 No, never heard of him? I will look him up, I love stuff like this. Which book you mean exactly?
Quoting: Face Palmer Can\'t remember the title.
His ultimate conclusion: \"The fundamental assumptions of any definitional system cannot be proven\", or something to that effect.
The argument goes \"If...then\".
The \"if\" cannot be proven. It is assumed to be a given.
A radical over-simplification; but that\'s the gist.
Logic has to do with the fundamental structures of the consciousness of the \'thinker\'.
But there are other approaches to reality; for example, poetry.
Poetry can never be proven.
Poetry approaches the issue of truth from a completely different perspective.
\"The moon was a ghostly galleon, tossed upon cloudy seas\" is, for example, a truth; but it cannot be proven, nevertheless.
