>>11495691I had a similar question, had me going insane. What I gathered was that logic(this applies to empiricism, too) is the best we can do to make a model out of reality. It's the only thing we can trust and perceptibly confirm. It's the only testable thing we have. Nothing is really provable without the axioms we use. Scientific practices, as I've observed, are pragmatic- which means they only look at finding and applying useful data. Hence generally will deny things like "God". Of course, unfalsifiable claims(like 1+1 = 999) may be true, but we have no way to test them, and hence considering them is more or less useless.
To put it succinctly, I think 2+2=14123 might as well be true, but we use the logic because it's the only thing we can trust, and the only thing that makes "sense".
I will now stop my schizo rambling.
