>The fact that your comment is flagged and dead should give you pause. The fact that it doesn't give you pause should give you pause. There is no pause. I KNOW the COST of my beliefs. It is a high cost and your reaction and the flag is a small PART of that cost. I live a life of lies. Externally I believe none of these things and I pretend to be normal just like you. But internally I see darkness everywhere. Keep in mind, I don't care if my beliefs are implemented to make a better world. I could care less. In fact most of the beliefs I hold, I feel if the world knew the truth it would be worse off for everybody. I'm not really an opponent against any group here. >"Yet, it seems that self-regards of epistemic superiority is the only unstable fuel you need to travel down a lonely road." We both know that epistemic superiority is not worth it for any human. You underestimate the sacrifices involved with believing in these things. Nobody makes that choice. I get what your saying but you are disregarding the cost way too much here. A sense of superiority is not reward enough for the price one must pay to believe in these things. I am what I am because I cannot un-believe what I think is true. I have no choice. Can you not believe 1 + 1 = 2? To me the conclusions are inescapable. But of course it could be that I am biased. Biased people do not know they are biased. Whether or not I am biased, I can assure you that I am not where I am by choice. I am where I am because I have no choice. >The fact that you think I am objecting to your specific assertions rather than the mode of assertions should give you pause. This DOES give me pause. Please describe to me in detail what you mean by "Mode."
