I didn’t claim that paper made no assumptions. I claimed that refuting that argument[1] would not refute CR, and vice versa
Theoretically, if CR consists of a set of claims , then refuting one claim wouldn’t refute the rest. In practice , critrats are dogmatically wedded to the non existence of any form of induction.
Inductivism is not compatible with this—it has no way to bootstrap except by some other, more foundational epistemic factors.
I don’t particularly identify as an inductivist , and I don’t think that the critrat version of inductivism, is what self identified inductivists believe in.
i said no, it’s a conclusion, and offered an explanation (which you’ve ignored)
Conclusion from what? The conclusion will be based on some deeper assumption.
you haven’t—as far as I can see—actually been interested in figuring out a) what anything else things
What anyone else thinks?
I am very familiar with popular CR since I used to hang out in the same forums as Curi. I’ve also read some if the great man’s works.
Anecdote time: after a long discussion about the existence of any form of induction , on a CR forum, someone eventually popped up who had asked KRP the very question, after bumping into him at a conference many years ago , and his reply was that it existed , but wasn’t suitable for science.
But of course the true believing critrats weren’t convinced by Word of God.
Secondly, I didn’t say it was the PNC was actually false.
I don’t think there’s any point talking about this, then.
The point is that every claim in general depends on assumptions. So, in particular, the critrats don’t have a disproof of induction that floats free of assumptions.
I am uncomfortable with this practice. I think I am banned from participating in curi’s forum now anyway due to my comments here so it doesn’t affect me personally but it is a little strange to have this list with people’s personal information up.

I just discovered he keeps a wall of shame for people who left his forum:

Are you in this wall?

Which forums? Under what name?
