This may overstate my epistemic position with respect to (NA24). In any case, in accepting Falsism, I ought to accept that (NA24) is false. If I believe outright that (NA24) is false, it also seems that I ought not wonder whether (NA24) is true or false. This follows from the attractive idea that to believe a proposition outright is to treat it as if one knows it (Williamson, 2000, 46–47). If I were to instead assign a high credence to Falsism, say .80, this seems compatible with wondering whether (NA24) is true or false, however it leads to other difficulties. In assigning a credence of .80 to Falsism, I should assign (at least) a credence of .80 to the proposition that (NA24) is false, and, assuming, as we are, that the evil scientist’s promise is sincere, I should assign a credence of (at least) .80 to the proposition that I will go on holiday. The more confident I become of Falsism, the more confident I should be that I will go on holiday and avoid torture! I put aside the interesting question of what implications partial belief in Falsism and other theories of future contingents have for wondering about the future. Thank you to Uri Liebowitz and an anonymous referee for pressing this point.

As noted above, Todd’s defense of Falsism differs significantly from Prior’s. Todd does not take the falsity of future contingents to be rooted in the fact that ‘will’ is equivalent in meaning to ‘will definitely’ or ‘it is now settled that it will’. Rather he claims that ‘will’ statements presuppose the existence of a unique actual future. Todd claims that future contingent statements of the form ‘It will be the case that p’ are to be anaylzed as: ‘The unique actual future features p’ (Todd, 2016, 789). The reason that all future contingents are false on Todd’s account is because it is false that there is a unique actual future. Following a Russellian analysis of non-denoting definite descriptions, it is false that there will be a sea battle tomorrow because it is false that there is a unique actual future that features one.or a future event that is not determined by the past and present state of the world and the laws of nature like: (NA24): It wasn’t you, as painfully cliché as it is, it’s true. It wasn’t you, it was never you – it was always me. I’m the one who isn’t ready for love. I’m not the one who wants goodbye kisses or to be strolling through the store holding hands, I’m not the one who wants to depend on someone, I’m not the one who is ready to give up my single life where all I know how to do is take up space. Trying to make room for someone else isn’t on my to-do list this week or anytime soon. My doctor’s phone lay on my chest playing “Rescue” by Lauren Daigle as I faded off to sleep. I can’t even begin to recount how well we were cared for by my medical team and the love we felt there. Our whole world stopped as doctors saved my life, my body fought, and we said goodbye to our beloved daughter. RELATED: God Actually Does Give Us More Than We Can Handle In examples 1 and 3 in the question, the when clause uses the interrogatory structure of verb-subject, will my money and is my money. It may seem that if at moment m it is sensible to wonder whether A, then it must be that either A is settled true at m, or that A is settled false at m. More generally, it may seem that if one is to be able, at m, properly to raise the question whether A, then A must be either settled true or settled false...No matter how things eventuate, the question posed on Monday, “Will there be a sea battle tomorrow?” will be answered. If there is a sea battle on Tuesday, then we may say, “The answer to the question is definitely ‘yes’.”; while if on Tuesday there is no sea battle, then we may say, “The answer to the question is definitely ‘no’.” We should therefore not reject the Monday question as badly posed. It is perfectly correct on Monday to say something like “We cannot yet provide a settled answer to that question, but must wait and see” (Belnap et al., 2001, 176).

Three days prior to that life-altering decision, I was admitted to the hospital with stroke-level blood pressures that sent everyone into action and panic immediately. My condition was a mystery to the doctors for a few days while I underwent every scan, test, and lab under the sun to figure out why I was so ill. After days of this, my incredible maternal-fetal medicine doctor came to me with her theory, but it took a little more time for everything to unfold because what she told us was so unfathomable, rare, and heartbreaking. I was essentially carrying an undetected twin pregnancy with a complete molar pregnancy alongside our growing Maya. MacFarlane, J. (2008). Truth in the garden of forking paths. In M. Garcia-Carpintero & M. Kolbel (Eds.), Relative truth (pp. 81–102). Oxford University Press. I am clearly a complete drama queen, my loss is minuscule compared to some. What has happened to me is minor and I am acting like it's a tragedy." I never could’ve imagined having to join the ranks of warrior women who have survived crisis, life-threatening pregnancies against all odds. Truly the strongest of the female race. Also, some of the most questioned, silenced, and misunderstood. I never thought I’d have to decide between death or death. Questions have possible answers where answers can be understood as propositions. Footnote 17 So the following are all possible answers to A: a.:I went into a deep depression. I know I was no good to anyone in those early days. Not my daughter or my husband. The next several months were filled with so many ups and downs, I couldn’t fit them into a blog. But somehow, through the grace of God, the support of my husband, and knowing I needed to be there for the child I had left, I found myself again.

My best friend always tells me when you get brought up in a conversation that she thinks it was true love. She thinks you're the only person I've ever loved in my life. And to tell you the truth, I think she is right. No one makes me feel how you made me feel, babe. No one has made me smile like you did. No one makes me giggle after crying like you did. No one can ever kiss me the way you did, and always catch me off guard. And fight me when I didn't kiss you in front of my friends, which I warmed up too after a while. You were a jerk to me at times, but I was also a witch to you. So I guess you could say it evens out, right? Consider the case in which I wonder on Monday whether the sodium-24 atom will decay in the next 24 h. The suggestion is that (WIN1*) is compatible with the appropriateness of my wondering because I fail to know the true, complete answer-at-Tuesday to the question of whether the sodium-24 atom decays.

Open Court. Thoughts of you cloud my mind during the most inconvenient times. I think of you when I’m sipping my morning coffee, wondering if you’d take cream in yours. I think of you when I’m in the shower as water is rushing down my face, wondering if I’m the reason nothing ever works out for me. I think of you when I’m alone in a crowded place, wondering if you’d proudly be walking through unknown faces with my hand in yours. I'm stretching out of reach, but you're just out too far. I've got my arms wide open, waiting for that hug you promised me before you'd leave. I'm still waiting for Friday to happen, the day you were supposed to see me before you moved. I'll always be waiting for more memories to make.

So my grief leaves me in this place where I struggle between the gratitude I feel for my own life and the deep loss of our daughter.

They should not be made to feel that their pregnancy loss is a common medicalcondition, regardless of how far along they were. Miscarriage is different for everyone. Let's respect that. Let's offer sympathy and support.

My husband and I were so excited about this baby. It was our first child together (I had a daughter from a previous marriage) and he really wanted kids. He asked me on the first date multiple times if I wanted kids! And I was excited to finally give my then 5-year-old a sibling and to have a child with the man I loved. Given that my focus in this paper is on wondering whether with polar questions as their content, we can state an ignorance norm for wondering whether that is entailed by (IN) as follows: (WIN1):Our beautiful family of five, built by adoption and biology, full of life, deep love, disability, trauma, and joy. We were thrilled to be welcoming a fourth child, but this second pregnancy was overwhelmingly challenging from the beginning. As time went on instead of improving, I started to drastically decline in physical health. RELATED: Sometimes Pregnancy is Dark Enter guilt, my thoughts in response to these words: "What is wrong with me? Why am I upset when it was early and other women are obviously able to get over it without much fuss. " My hope is that our experience brings awareness about such a challenging subject and also allows women experiencing molar pregnancies or other crisis pregnancies to feel less alone. Falsism seems to offer a therapy. In accepting the theory, I come to know that (NA24) is false. Falsism provides the true, complete answer to the question N. The true, complete answer is that It is false that the sodium-24 atom will decay within the next 24 h. So, according to (WIN1) it is inappropriate for me to wonder whether the sodium-24 atom will decay. Footnote 22 But I do continue to wonder, and my wondering certainly seems appropriate. This raises a problem for Falsism. Footnote 23 In sum, if future contingents presuppose the existence of a unique actual future and no unique actual future exists, then it would be inappropriate to continue to wonder about them if we learn that there is no unique actual future. Following Todd’s extension of the Russellian analysis of non-denoting definite descriptions, it would be inappropriate to continue to wonder about them because learning that there is no unique actual future involves learning their true, complete answer. If we instead adopt a Strawsonian analysis, it turns out that the questions that serve as the contents of our wonderings about future contingents are unsound, and in coming to know this, we ought not wonder about them. So if future contingents presuppose a unique actual future and no such future exists, once we accept this, it is no longer appropriate to wonder about them.
