I haven't asked you to "believe me".
What you're saying is that you'd rather believe "experts" than not believe them. This is religion, not rationality.
> you have no time to do anything because the world now has so much knowdledge you can't check it evrything fast enough. And some point you have to trust people and that some are experts.
...or you can choose to stay agnostic on most claims, and simply do your best to contributing to the noise of the world based on hearsay and your own uninformed opinions.
- croes 4y agoYou totally missed my point. Everything is believe. Everything you know came from your sensory input. Here's the big question. How do you know that the evidence your sensory apparatus reveals to you is correct? What I'm getting at is this. The only experience that is directly available to you is your sensory data. This sensory data is merely a stream of electrical impulses that stimulate your brain. In other words, all that you really know about the outside world is relayed to you through your electrical connections. That would mean that...you really don't know what the outside universe is really like at all for certain.
