If you pre-emptively have contempt for something by association rather than investigating it on its merits, it seems you risk missing out on any information you have there.
Maybe I disagree with your view on this, so I reflexively reject the rest of the comments you make on HN, even if one of them was insightful and could really help me. That might be a little dumb, so I would try not to do that, personally. I get if you would do differently tho, seems like you might from what you say here. ;p;) xx
I posted a couple different sources on this, but I'm glad this post is the one that got upvoted to front page, because it's a good compilation of the various resources about this newly released footage: explanatory discussion with George Knapp, actual footage, Twitter thread where announced, transcript of footage.
- hashkb 5y agoSo you completely ignore the reputation of whoever is trying to convince you of something?
- graderjs 5y agoAnd you completely ignore the content and judge everything based on reputation? Well I've got a great reputation, why don't you trust me!? :p ;) xx You must be so gullible. But I don't think so, I think you just take it to the extreme. i don't discount reputation. i treat it separately. there's reputation here, and information here. and i examine each separately. what i try to do anyway. can be tricky tho ;p ;) xx
- hashkb 5y agoI skip all the middle-men and assume everyone is wrong, regardless of reputation OR content.
- mcguire 5y agoAre you familiar with The Boy Who Cried "Wolf"?
- graderjs 5y agoHahaha, that's exactly my point. They doubted him when he was true because of his reputation. Hahaha, thank you so much!! :p ;) xxx
