1	CMV: This sub is full of people mistakenly universalizing their specific experiences I don’t concede that point because There is nothing that challenges it’s merit. Science is itself based on philosophy hence the philosophy of science so it’s not at all wrong to marry philosophy and science. Inductive reasoning simply cannot make absolute truth claims but it’s useful to find the best possible evidence we have.	/r/PurplePillDebate	27/03/21 08:08 PM
1	CMV: This sub is full of people mistakenly universalizing their specific experiences The problem of induction presented by Hume is a troubling problem for a reason. There isn’t a logical reason why a sample of something can generalize to the whole. This is why even science doesn’t attempt to make absolute truth claims.	/r/PurplePillDebate	26/03/21 12:23 PM
3	CMV: This sub is full of people mistakenly universalizing their specific experiences I agree they shouldn’t but things like “female nature” and red pill ideology often make these sweeping claims.

3	CMV: This sub is full of people mistakenly universalizing their specific experiences The thing is is that these people aren’t performing controlled studies, it’s just their singular anecdotes. They don’t know if they’re experience is representative nor is it rational to infer all women are a certain way because of their own possibly flawed observances	/r/PurplePillDebate	25/03/21 11:21 PM
0	CMV: This sub is full of people mistakenly universalizing their specific experiences Inductive reasoning is inherently fallacious especially when it’s biased through your singular lenses.	/r/PurplePillDebate	25/03/21 11:19 PM
2	CMV: This sub is full of people mistakenly universalizing their specific experiences None of what he says is really universalizing. The OP is stating the the sub is full of people, not everybody who ascribes to these beliefs, who universalize their experience.	/r/PurplePillDebate	25/03/21 11:18 PM

You can kill a man, but you can't kill an idea.
