    The syllogism P (you read something) then Q (you learn something) presumes a) you can process information contained within the written word and b) you have the capability of learning. While not conclusively falsified by these exchange, a postpostivist interpretation suggests that the preponderance of the evidence rests with the counterfactual. No need for P to actually take place. Thanks for playing, best of luck in your future endeavors.


  • You’re not really considering the article in the context of what it’s arguing against, which is the implicit position of the World Bank that someone is not “poor” if they’re living on the equivalent of over $3.00 per day (as of 2025). The standard that Hickel et al. are proposing, while low by Western standards, is still much higher than what billions of people are currently experiencing.
