- kaffekaka 11mo agoThe quote makes a statement, we don't know if it is true. What can you learn from that? It might spark some thoughts, maybe.
- ajkjk 11mo agoexactly. maybe you think of it as a smidge more credible because someone else thinks it, even. Especially if they're a generally intelligent person whose other thoughts you like.
- wiseowise 11mo agoBro, you literally provided zero evidence, learn what?
- ajkjk 11mo agoWhen someone suggests an idea without evidence there's still a modicum of data in the fact that they believe it. You don't have to, like, suddenly change your mind, but you also don't have to blow it off as unsubstantiated entirely. Probably they believe it, and said it, for a reason. Anyway whether or not you blow it off is entirely an indication of your trust in them, and has nothing to do with whether they presented evidence.
