Hi Jason,

Best,

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
