Whether someone can be trusted or not depends on you as well; everybody understands only as much as they know. (or sees what they understand).
My assertions of flaws and dubiousity of the above three propositions are irrefutable, whether you trust me or not. A quick google search will cure you of your distrust. :)
- headsoup 4y agoYou sure about google searches curing distrust?...
- wawjgreen 4y agoWhen I say "google search" I mean it in the Platonic, IDEA of THINGS type of way--generically speaking, that is. IOW, distrust is cured when you search information (by whatever means) and satisfy yourself. Sure beats a mere opinion by someone (or by some skeptic), no?
- headsoup 4y agoI get what you mean, but it comes with the assumption that the information found is reviewed critically by the searcher, rather than just naively accepting whatever result agrees or disagrees with the opinion comment...
- wawjgreen 4y ago<<but it comes with the assumption that the information found is reviewed critically by the searcher>> who brings this assumption?
- headsoup 4y agoWithout the assumption the user will not cure their distrust, your original point.
- wawjgreen 4y agothere is no guarantee that the information given to me is any better than the information I seek myself. The assumption problem holds in both cases, but the latter is better because there is no moral hazard (or conflict of interest).
