His entire argument at its core comes down to this:

all logic is subjective and is built off of mental models created by individuals or society, which is based on language. You were culturally indoctrinated into the cult of reason and are thereby trapped by it's limited worldview.

For example, the scientific method uses mental models such as deductive and inductive reasoning, it uses peer review and double blind placebo trials with lengthy papers to prove a hypothesis. This is known as the scientific method. People came up with these rules and methods, there were never set in stone and are ultimately flawed.

These mental models are subjective and relative because of the lack of absolute certainty and are prone to reform. Whatever statement you make that you believe to be an absolute fact (e.g 1+1=2), needs a plethora of assumptions and existing foundations to support it already. The presumption that you exist, that you're not in a dream, that the language or numbers you're even using have the meanings prescribed to them that you think they have.

Everything can only be probability, but there can never be certainty (deductive reasoning), because after all you might be dreaming. Even though deductive reasoning can take place within a fantasy or a hypothetical scenario..for example, mewtwo is stronger than caterpie..it still is ultimately uncertain.

Hey says. quote:

""All justifications of logic are in fact circular and every logical system must be self-contradictory, as Godel's Incompleteness Theorems show."

An example statement would be this:

"If nothing is definite then wouldn't the statement "nothing is definite" not be definite as well?"

This shows the limitations of logic. When you reflect a mirror back at itself, the logic of the brain interprets that as a circular. The mind also gets stuck when it thinks about god (who created gods god, and who created gods gods god, and who created etc etc).

Rebuttals, thoughts?
