Therefore any uninformed, emotional crackpot can submit a rant with no proof, no evidence, no citations, with no credentials so it’s not even an appeal to authority, at best it’s an appeal to emotion and or intellectual laziness.
I grant you the freedom to express yourself freely, and in return you grant me the freedom to call your low-effort rant garbage. Its a two way street.
- Vektorceraptor 3y agoBut "no proof, no evidence, no citations, low-effort, rants, etc." do not mean 'no sense'. And the posting is clearly making sense. The claim "that civilization will collapse" is not an evident truth, so the contrary might be said, without further support. Apparently, the article did not have the necessary persuasive power.
