It's not that I'm skeptical, it is more of an epistemological issue.
For example, I asked you two questions about your facts (I presume?):
>> I enjoyed your story, but I have one question: to what degree is it actually true?
-
>> For example, is it actually possible to see the future? Are you sure (and if so: how) that what you're describing is actually that?
... but you didn't answer them. To me, that is a red flag.
In addition to that: there are events happening in Ukraine right now that involve people dying. If ever there was a time to be concerned about what is true (comprehensively, and actually), this seems like a fine candidate. But instead, people seem to insist on dealing in narratives, and dodge (or respond with evasive rhetoric and memes (see sibling comments in this sub-thread)) any questions about truth.
One one hand, you might just dismiss this as "people being people", and there's a lot of truth to it. But when something is presented to them explicitly and directly, repeatedly, and they behave as if they have literally not even seen it....well, at some point I think someone should point out that the emperor has wardrobe problems.
- ajuc 4y agoStop the mental gymnastics and tell me which part you disagree about.
- mistermann 4y agoThese techniques/behaviors do not work on me. I'm calling your bluff. Have you anything other than memes in your kit?
