That's simple nihilism. <I suspect all personal premises are eventually determined to be wrong, including any on reality. That is why I cannot provide a proof. > The only way that can be true is if reality doesn't exist [as your grin suggests]. So, ipso facto, that premise can't be right either, as reality will show it to be false. So, your nihilistic theory that all premises [there are none other than personal] are false is false, because otherwise it would be true, which it can't be. Therefore, there are premises which can be true, which might or might not be currently held by somebody. It's fashionable to be surrealistic, Kantian and whatnot, but reality is not so confused about reality. Concrete walls really do make soft things like theories and the brains that carry them go splat. Mqurice
