Ayer's argument for logical positivism is self-refuting, since his statement of his own theory of epistemology cannot account for itself by it's own rules. The statement of the theory is just the sort of unverifiable claim which the theory claims to rule out. It's nonsense. In fact, you CAN do metaphysics meaningfully, which philosophers have done for centuries.
@arbadacarbada Haha, no it's an attempt at an australian one - we had to do this in college and the guy we had to copy had an australian accent. Also Ben -was embarrassed about using his own voice because our teacher showed it to the rest of our group...
