       >David Hume argued that the belief that the sun will rise tomorrow is based on inductive reasoning (past experience), not logical necessity or deductive certainty.Disregard David Hume. Embrace Re-Horakhty.David Hume will only fill you with self doubt about the nature of the world. Re-Horakhty will never let you down, and will ensure the sun rises each and every morning.

       @augustus it's true. The sun could fail to rise tomorrow: the sun could explode, or a FTL missile from a distant alien war could do a fly-by of the solar system and slow the Earth's spin. Or more realistically you could travel north or south far enough that the months pass in darkness. Or you could wake up from the simulation and find that you were in a decades-long VR game and that you are of a nearly immortal species with really immersive VR and you live on a ringworld with artificial night and no 'rising' sun."The sun rises tomorrow" is a statement loaded with physical context that can change, it's not logically irrefutable. You can deny it without such inherent self-contradiction that you're speaking nonsense.Hume may still make the case badly, with too strong an implication that you shouldn't use empirical knowledge (or knowledge based on a model of the world, like of the Earth rotating on its axis around the sun). The distinction is much more useful when it's in the direction of arguing about how valuable it is to have logically irrefutable assertions, that it's worthwhile to spend a lot of time on any of these you find.

       @apropos with each and every day that passes, we add more and MORE certainty to the case that Re-Horakhty will successfully cause the sun to rise tomorrow as the accumulated historical data increases the posterior probability of our knowledge of his gracious and unbreakable spirit.

       @augustus even if your ancestors spent 10k years watching the sun rise over the Mediterranean, if you venture to the Arctic you'll see it hover in the sky for days.

       @augustus btw1. Iranians writing in English use (ra) instead of (pbuh) after the name of a martyr2. Iranian attacks ceased suspiciously during Sisi's visits to Gulf Arab statesfrom these and from the story of Moses, we can conclude:3. we are living through a Ra vs. Baal holy war.

       @apropos it's such a common phoneme that I can deploy it at will to allege a Heliopolitan conspiracy anywhere I want. also I made a post the other day where I said I thought Baal actually got a bad rep, it's via the Israelites that his reputation gets bad after they reject him and he was really a basic bitch Canaanite storm god, but if Iran has chosen him as the avatar of evil then so be it
