Lol, the act of asking for empirical evidence strengthens his point.. He can almost base his argument on your response to it.

- solipsism 5y agoI didn't ask for empirical evidence. You call it an argument. It's not an argument. It's just a naked claim, without any kind of basis at all. To ask for support somehow seems to offend everybody. Okay, fine, let's just believe whatever feels good to us.
- openfuture 5y agoThe ask you made was lazy nonsense. My use of language was imprecise. Fwiw I'm not offended in the slightest but think about it logically: - language is important? - speaking predates writing? - in our current society writing is the source of truth? This is the premise he implicitly asked for in order to voice his sentiment ... and you deny him even that without him listing a source (which is precisely the thing he was concerned with). "I am saddened by all the violence" -> "take that back or I hit you" Edit (slightly OT): let's not "all believe" in anything. We need to be able to allow contradictory things to coexist
