Are Gettier cases strictly about false justification rather than inadequate justification?

What would you say about Hilbert's tenth problem? Is it truly impossible?
Masimat t1_j95kgzg wrote
Matiyasevich's theorem and Godel's incompleteness theorem state that there are mathematical truths that are exclusively true but cannot be proven true. I refuse to believe this. In any given axiomatic system, there is a reason why a statement is true or false. With the right axioms you can prove anything about reality.

Just Googled it and you are right.

I thought that was what is meant with 'cogito', i.e. "There's thinking going on"?

Besides cogito, are there any truths that philosophy has established with 100% agreement between philosophers?

When does a consciousness permanently lose consciousness of their current brain and body? Could a lobotomy make me lose my current existence and give it away to another consciousness, even if my brain and body survive the lobotomy?

Whenever I mention determinism vs indeterminism, people seem to always respond in terms of the universe. The universe may be 100% deterministic, but that doesn't mean there aren't indeterministic aspects of reality. What caused Big Bang? It was probably an uncaused event.

Everything that follows the rules of the universe can happen, and the universe has the chance of resetting itself. Therefore, I will eventually live an elephant’s life.

Is reality 100% deterministic? Determinism says everything has a cause, so the beginning must be uncaused, right? With this reasoning, indeterminism must be true in some aspects of reality.

Is it possible to predict the future of any deterministic system with math formulas?

Regarding the nature of perception: Can you detect infinitely small movements of, for example, someone's hand? Can you think "I'm gonna look at his hand until it has moved"?
Perhaps I'm sniffing at Zero's paradoxes which claim that motion is impossible.

Studies have shown that our brains make decisions before we're even aware of them. Isn't that enough evidence to conclude that libertarian free will is false? If you were truly free in your choices, you would be aware of them at the same time as you make them.
