- rpmisms 5y ago"cannot be innocent" is an interesting phrase to use, can you define innocence in this context? I think I understand your underlying opinion, but you're not expressing it particularly explicitly.
- tshaddox 5y agoI don't mean "innocent" in any formal, moral, or legal sense. I just mean that explicitly rejecting reason is an inherently dangerous mental practice, even if the specific case is something small that doesn't have any direct consequences.
