I'm choosing to believe that our notions of "belief" differ.
- javert 11y agoWell, that's the equivalent of putting your fingers in your ears and saying "lallalalaa I can't hear you!" edit: In other words: you should not just choose to "believe" one thing or another. You should look at reality and decide what the evidence favors. Otherwise, you don't really know, and you know that you don't really know, and you are flying blind in life, and thereby engendering in yourself a sense of helplesness and anxiety (no coincidence that one of Sartre's works was called Nausea...).
- verbin217 11y agoI believe your notion of "belief" is false. Empirically in fact. As evidenced here. I would suggest that you ask yourself if your current idea of "belief" is actually serving you. If you did that you might see why you're failing to persuade me to adapt that belief.
