I'm not quite sure. I'm nearly sure that "It must work, because I made up the rules, so it's designed to work in my rules", but there is still doubt in me whether this is always and 100% true. It is of course the one thing I can be sure the most.
To make an analogy: I can write a computer program, I design it in all best effort to work, and still completely unforseen things can happen. And I don't mean things like "deadlocks" or "memory leaks" (this are still things inside my 'logical' system, unwanted but still 'logical' things), but rather things like loss of power or a hacker intrusion.
It is at least thinkable that I am only inside an extremely complex 'Matrix'-like environment, where even logic is a modifiable parameter, where I would make up my own mathematics, some malicious controller wants to make fun of me, and suddenly 2+2=5.
A proposal: Perhaps this might be a question for the "Philosophical Corner"? |
