What does it take to convince you that the opinion someone expresses is their genuine one?
Given there's literally no motivation to lie, Occam's razor would suggest that the belief is genuine.
- Chris2048 4y agoThere are plenty of reasons to lie, so stating "there's literally no motivation to lie" is a pretty bad start in convincing me you are genuine..
- carbadtraingood 4y agoCan you supply a few? Again, this is a fresh account on an anonymous internet forum, and the posts I make generate single digit upvotes. So what are the motivations to lie in this thread?
- Chris2048 4y agowhat are the motivations to post at all? start there. you keep referring to upvotes, but hn internet points are pretty meaningless either way - the validation behind them is probably more important.
- carbadtraingood 4y agoMotivation to post: discussion is interesting. Sharing and hearing opinions is interesting.
