Things that can't be proven

from INTP Musings · host Friend Francis

This episode is about things that can’t be proven. This topic is explored from two different sides, and we’ll answer three different questions about this topic from both sides. I believe these questions are worth asking because lots of people put lots of energy into things that are unproven and/or unprovable. All questions are binary yes/no type questions, and the answers are discussed in detail. 1.) Is it worth entertaining things that are yet to be proven? What about things that can’t be proven? 2.) Is it worth having “faith” in things that are yet to be proven or can’t be proven? 3.) Do unproven/unprovable things have inherent value in society? Net positive? Net negative? At the end, we discuss the value of being agnostic towards things that can’t be proven; holding things with an open palm that says “maybe”, not a closed fist that says “yes! This is true!” or throwing that thing to the ground yelling “no! This is bullshit!” Just hold it with an open palm that says “Maybe. Perhaps. We’ll see.” If something is unproven, that can be a useful attitude to have.
