He is hated by all things that reason.
This is equivalent to saying:
"If something reasons, then it hates him."
By contrapositon, you get:
"If something doesn't hate him, then it doesn't reason."
But, I don't hate myself. So, according to your statement, I don't reason.
However, this post is a clear example of the use of formal logic, i.e. reasoning. This means that I don't hate myself and can reason as well, which is in direct contradiction to your statement. So, by the method "reductio ad absurdum", I proved that your statement is FALSE. So, blow me.
Can you prove you did this reasoning by yourself?
Can you prove the Earth be round?
If i had the resources then yes. But i have yet to try and don't really want to.
The same goes for me.
