      Aside: almost all knowledge fits this bill. All our best theories do. They “keep winning” against criticism. But when they lose (a criticism stands) it’s because we‘ve found something objectively better. We can never rule that out & indeed *hope* it happens eventually. Progress!https://twitter.com/SamHarrisOrg/status/1058234180243312640 …

      What do you call an intuition that keeps winning these contests, and about which you have to see a coherent criticism?

      I don't disagree. So get back to me when you find some reason to believe that the *worst possible misery for everyone* isn't "bad," or that consciousness might be an illusion. Either would rattle my worldview.

      Actually, the criterion is even weaker than "believe." Show me how someone could *coherently conjecture* that either premise *might* be true.

          For a long time I could never “coherently conjecture” how some of Euclid’s axioms *might* be true. Then I learned some non-Euclidean geometry. Euclid’s axioms are very useful. As are yours. They just don’t need to be enshrined as infallible absolutes to refute moral relativism :)

          This doesn't make sense. An axiom is an assumption by definition. You suppose those are true within a given framework.

          Mathematicians never need to suppose axioms are true to solve problems. They can assert “These are the axioms, now what follows necessarily?” It’s not about proving stuff true. It’s about proving stuff. Crucial difference. I mention a little of that here: http://www.bretthall.org/blog/questioning-foundations …

          I'm confused, this was my entire point. Great blog though will be reading more as you post. For the sake of discussion, please regard the axiom of choice; axioms can have interesting consequences.

          The first premise isn’t true, as it’s not possible for the universe to reach that state, it’s incoherent as a starting point for any theory.

          Watching UFC 230 would meditation help a fighters performance? Say a focus on game plan, until you get punched hard in the face of course.

          Does any method other than the scientific fit the bill? Methinks not.
