What is implied by the fact that humans argue about what is true? What must you admit simply because you debate the issues?

You cannot argue at all about anything without admitting that the rules of logic determine the facts of your life. You cannot debate or even reason without admitting that only what has been proven to be true is that which can exist in the world. For if you argue that logic does not determine the facts, then you argue that your arguments are meaningless. And you undermine your own position.

And the only reason that you are even concerned about what is right is because you wish to make decisions that maintain your life. And so you make an effort to assert what is true so you can base the decisions that effect your life on facts that you know are true and right. You assert what is true and right so you can gain life. For you know that your life depends on what is true.

Your arguments only serve to prove that it is you who thinks that the rules of logic determine your fate. It is you who thinks that life is gained by asserting the truth. For otherwise you would not make an effort to understand what's true. Otherwise you would not bother to even argue.

And what principles of logic do you use as you debate and argue? What do your arguments in and of themselves imply are the rules?

Could you prove your opponent wrong by saying that he has no reason to change his mind? Could you prove your own case by saying that your opponent's opinion does not lead to a contradiction? Your opponent's statement contradicts yours, or you would not be having a debate with him. And if your opponent's statement cannot reasonably lead to its own contradiction, then you are saying that he has no logical reason to change his mind. Or in other words you are saying that he is right in which case you are wrong. For changing your mind means that you once believed something but now you believe the opposite. And not changing your mind means that you still believe that you are right.

Thus, if there is any rule that all your arguments prove that you use, it's that if any fact at all be true, then even the premise that it's false must still prove that it's true. And if there is anything else that all your arguments prove, it's that you think that life is gained if you live by the rules that prove what is true.

Can you imagine someone zealously claiming that there is no such thing as absolute truth? Then neither is this statement that he so zealously claims. Or can you imagine someone passionately claiming that reason makes no difference in anyone's life? Then why is he so passionate to prove he is right? Why be so passionate if your life doesn't depend on it? Or can you imagine someone forcefully claiming that his opponent has no reason to change his mind? Then why does he so forcefully argue with him?

There is only one thing you can claim if you are passionate about the truth of anything. It's that life is gained if you assert what is true. And if anything at all be true, then even the premise that it is false must even prove that it is true.

So if you are trying to assert the truth with all the strength of your life, then you must assert that you will rise even though you die.

But if you do not care to assert what is right, then what you might say is most surely a lie.
