You can't prove a negative is not a rule of logic. Go back to school.
Can you prove 2+2 is not equal to 58.
No you can't prove a negative.
Assume 2+2= 58
2= 1+1
1+1+1+1= count them =4
4=58
initial assumption is false
2+2 is in fact not equal to 58 negative proved. This is a counter example to the statement "You can't prove a negative"
"You can't prove a negative" is false
-------
Yes you can make general statements that are true.
"All general statements are false" is not a rule of logic. Go back to school.
"2+2 is always equal to 4". Is a general statement.
2=1+1
1+1+1+1=count them =4
4=4 true
The particular general statement "2+2 is always equal to 4" is true. "2+2 is always equal to 4" is a counter example to "All general statements are false".
"All general statements are false" is, in fact, its self false.
