Of course.
"Being unsure (about the roundness of the earth, about the age of the world, about the origin of humans, about who built the pyramids, etc.) is better, anyway, than feeling sure of something false."
The burden of proof is still on the one claming the existence of something.
- ncmncm 5y agoThe burden of proof is on the person claiming a thing, existence or no. Insisting something does not happen, in the total absence of evidence, is exactly as wrong as claiming it does happen. Knowing there is no much evidence, it is absolutely dishonest to make the claim. The honest statement is that nobody knows.
- alexvoda 5y agoVery well, in that case, since there isn't much evidence, the honest claim is that you do not exist. For all I know, I am a brain in a vat and you are just a figment of my imagination. Playing the solipsism game does not make for a productive conversation.
