Absolute Sleep

Goodman’s New Riddle of Induction

03 Jul 2025

Description

What if everything you know about predicting the future is wrong? Philosopher Nelson Goodman created a paradox that challenges the very foundation of logic and science. If every emerald you've ever seen is green… why not believe they’ll all turn blue tomorrow? This short will twist your brain and make you question whether induction — the way we predict anything — is even valid. Welcome to the riddle of “grue.” The rules of reality might not be as stable as you think. #NelsonGoodman #paradox #induction #logic #science #grue #prediction See show notes: https://inlet.fm/absolute-sleep/episodes/685b66fc2f42bb251ea5b34d Learn more about your ad choices.
