I thought this post was actually very easy to follow. It actually gave me the vocab I needed to settle scores of arguments with dumbarse religious types who say daft things like “Evolution is only a religion” and “You can’t PROVE that blah blah blah magic fairy dust blah blah blah blah”.
“But you don’t know that!”
I don’t know it with certainty, but it is mandatory that I expect it to happen. Probabilities are not logical truths, but the laws of probability are.
I love that. “I don’t know it with certainty—that’s because of your ridiculous understanding of what ‘certainty’ means—but it is mandatory that I expect it to happen.”
