That doesn't really make much sense to me, I'm afraid. Please bear with me, but my first guess is that you have invented a coping mechanism that allows you to deal with conflicting information in your mind. Are you by any chance religious?
(I figure I should be allowed to ask such a normally speaking quite loaded question because of my previous statements, up the thread.)
- gooseus 9y agoNo, I am not, by any chance, religious. I don't rule out the possibility of a God or God-like intelligence existing in the Universe, but that's simply as a result of the "absence of evidence is not evidence of absence" principle I hold to. I don't really see how religion factors into this though... I feel like I'm talking about a simple concept too. If I show you an encrypted message and show you that other people can read the contents with a key, then ask you to read it without the key, why can't you? It's not magic, it's math.
- johansch 9y agoWell, my apoligies for being presumptuous then.
- sullyj3 9y agoYour first guess? You don't get to dismiss peoples' arguments as superstition just because you don't understand them.
