How useful is the heuristic that if both sides of a debate are unfalsifiable then they may be a false dichotomy? My answer: The heuristic that is both sides of a debate are unfalsifiable then they may be a false dichotomy is very useful because it is probably the case for practical reasons. Examples include but may not be limited to (evolutionism or creationism), (freewill or determinism), (rationalism or empiricism).
J. W. Nieuwenhuis
The world is not a collection of facts, and instead of using heuristics, read during a long period a philosopher such as for instance Wittgenstein or Heidegger. And that long period should extend over years.
