Hi ToKers,

From the blog:

"By calling it a “hypothesis,” Gregg was issuing a kind of challenge to “not see” the claim. In other words, it can be thought of as a kind of “undersell” that creates a strange loop of confirmation. As you try to “disconfirm” the hypothesis, you realize that you are engaged in a process of justification that confirms it."

This reminds me of a few years ago when I suggested to Gregg that the statement, "Humans justify", could be considered axiomatic. Any attempt to counter-argue that statement would itself constitute a human justification. That is, any attempt to counter-argue the statement, "Humans justify", would be self-contradictory, hence making the statement axiomatic.

Have a good one,
Jason

Hi List,

  Joe M and I just put up a post explaining why we are changing name of the Justification Hypothesis to Justification Systems Theory. Here it the link:
