- keiferski 6y agoSorry, how can a conclusion be stillborn? Does that have a specific meaning? Also: I was using it more as an example, not the sole reason.
- jdashg 6y agoThere's no argument you can successfully make that, because the Basilisk is unconvincing, therefore Rationalists are intellectually bankrupt. The connection is stillborn, because there's no path towards bridging the gap between this example and your conclusion. You will need to use other examples because this example is DOA.
