Reply to comment by Michamus in On the advantages of believing that nothing is true by Vico1730

I think the idea of truth has to regard the possibility of a black swan, thus the idea of probability. So the question should be more like: does the idea of truth exist if basically everything is fallible rather than speculating whether some thing deserves the name tag ”true” on it. So it begs the question; is there even such a concept if we can’t use it in any way.

What do you think ‘begs the question’ means?

It simply means going ahead of things. 99% of reddit is this kind or turdy turd.
