The "Dean theorem"

[ladyjane]

What do you think of the Australian philosopher colin leslie deans theorem

EXAMPLES FROM MATHEMATICS AND SCIENCE SHOW THE
DEAN THEOREM

CONTRADICTION, OR INCONSISTENCY WITHIN A VIEW AS WELL AS MUTUAL CONTRADICTION, OR INCOMMENSURABLITY BETWEEN VIEWS DOES NOT PRECLUDE THE VIEW OR BOTH VIEWS FROM BEING ‘TRUE’

[Mastriani]

My question is, why is this in the natural sciences forum?

“True” and “truth” have nothing to do with science. Science is concerned with data, facts and conclusions drawn from such.

“True” and “truth” are nothing more than hypothetical abstracts that end in a value judgment entirely possessed within the domain of the singular observer. Ergo, essentially invalid, as no facts are required to create “true” or “truthful” statements.

His theorem is inadequate, or your interpretation of such is inadequate.

[Muscular_philosopher]

Dean does not understand Godel’s work, it’s obvious. Dean does not understand math. He’s jamming a square peg into a round hole and doesn’t realize it.

[ladyjane]

What examples from mathematics and science show the law of non-contradiction to be false?
(That is what his theorem is stating, isn’t it?)

SCIENCE

In regard to the paradoxes and contradictions of quantum theory Wick state the orthodox view when he says “here my opinion of the orthodox quantum mechanics, like Bohr, comes down to the meaning of words. “Classical” and “complementarity”, insult and commendation, are euphemisms; the belief concealed is that Nature has been found in a contradiction. But quantum physicists are not simpletons. In their hearts they know such a claim is philosophically unacceptable and would be rejected in other sciences.”
Wick notes “ I believe orthodox quantum theorists [slates] reason, consciously or unconsciously, something like this. The microscopic world exhibits paradoxes or contradictions and this fact is reflected in the best theory describing it.”

MATHS

“Newton and Leibniz developed the calculus…. Their ideas were attacked for being full of paradoxes.” Newton’s formulation of calculus was self-contradictory yet it worked. Newton worked with small increments going of to a zero limit. Berkeley showed that this leads to logical inconsistency. The main problem Bunch notes was “that a quantity was very close to zero, but not zero, during the first part of the operation then it became zero at the end.”

Well, that’s a quite unexpected scientific conclusion.
I really don’t know much about those things.
Thank you for the examples, nontheless

the examples prove deans theorem

[Anthem]

Dean is a moron.

[ladyjane]

Dean is a moron.

but he has shown godel is invalid-for reasons you accept-which no one has done for 76 yrs
and his theorem is sound-based on the facts

[Anthem]

It’s possible. But he’s still a moron. Moreover, no one would listen to him even if his ideas were original and correct…have you read my thread on grammar yet?

[ladyjane]

It’s possible. But he’s still a moron

and that shits you that a moron can prove godel invalid
dean is the champion of morons as he shows bad grammar has nothing to do with truth
all morons can now hold their heads up and use dean as a role model- he has sharfted the system and allowed the morons a ligitemate voice now

[Anthem]

No, sad to say, your voice still is not L-E-G-I-T-I-M-A-T-E.

For Pete’s sake, dictionary.com is free.

well you have still not commented on the
“dean theorem”
