Когда все правы (в чем-то), но не могут прийти к согласию, это часто значит, что пропущено какое-то измерение проблемы.

Вопрос в том, что делать, когда сталкиваешься с другой логикой ( "Two logics are the same if and only if they are equivalent as preorders" – Lutz Strassburger.) В простейшем случае, каждый остается при своем. Но тут хорошо бы понять, от чего зависит цена перехода к другой логике и в каких случаях такой переход оправдан. Например, нужно ли искать дополнительную информацию и/или переделывать свой/чужой preorder, т.е. убеждать/убеждаться в каком-то другом базовом порядке мира.

upd. еще можно посмотреть, сколько стоит поменять мир. Напр. ситуация с абортами показывает, что цена замены Roe сильно упала.
upd. voice, loyalty, exit costs may need to be taken into account too.

I have a hunch that information costs play an important role in the process, e.g. wrt mental effort budget.

Оказывается, в Италии времен Муссолини существовал особый жанр гламурного кино "белый телефон." Такие телефоны были символом статуса богатого человека, потому что обычные люди могли себе позволить только черные телефоны ( черный пластик и эмали были дешевыми; ими пользовались повсеместно, от автомобилей до электроизоляторов).

I've added numbering and spacing to emphasize Kant's key ideas wrt philosophy and mathematics:
“The questions:
1P) whether the world has a beginning and a limit to its extension in space;

2) whether there exists anywhere, or perhaps, in my own thinking Self, an indivisible and indestructible unity — or whether nothing but what is divisible and transitory exists;

3) whether I am a free agent, or, like other beings, am bound in the chains of nature and fate;

4) whether, finally, there is a supreme cause of the world, or all our thought and speculation must end with nature and the order of external things

— are questions for the solution of which the mathematician would willingly exchange his whole science; for in it there is no satisfaction for the highest aspirations and most ardent desires of humanity. ”

Nay, it may even be said that the true value of mathematics — that pride of human reason — consists in this:
1M) that she guides reason to the knowledge of nature — in her greater as well as in her less manifestations — in her beautiful order and regularity —

2) guides her, moreover, to an insight into the wonderful unity of the moving forces in the operations of nature, far beyond the expectations of a philosophy building only on experience;

3) and that she thus encourages philosophy to extend the province of reason beyond all experience,

4) and at the same time provides it with the most excellent materials for supporting its investigations, in so far as their nature admits, by adequate and accordant intuitions."

Immanuel Kant, “The Critique of Pure Reason.”


Logic, as a preorder, is useful because it deals consistently with structures that have a beginning (see Kant's problem #1P). Once we find or assume a system that has a beginning, we can apply a logic to it and be guided along the chain of implications (see Kant's #1M). etc.
If we can't find a beginning, we can fall back to the question of existence and start our logic from there (see #2P), running into opposite directions.

Remember how our Bullshitter-in-Chief justified his idiotic steel and aluminum tariffs on Canada and Mexico? He had workers around him, he blabbered about national security threats posed by foreigners, great American industry, etc. Remember how he bragged about new investments into steel plants built because of his tariffs? Well, people who trusted his policies are screwed.

Now the tariffs are gone because Chuck Grassley(R) wouldn't support the updated NAFTA. So much for the workers, the industry, and national security.

Фрейду бы по понравилось, что "партия семейных ценностей" выбрала своим лидером таблоидного говнюка.
