Let's say person A claims we are all living in a perfect computer simulation, and person B instead claims the world was created by a pink unicorn. How do you construct a rational argument about which one to believe?
- cema 17y agoI don't see a contradiction here. Can't a pink unicorn run a computer simulation?
- gloob 17y agoThe problem really isn't constructing rational arguments. The problem is finding premises that are either verifiable or that both parties will agree are true. If the two parties will not make such an agreement, and the premises are inherently unverifiable, the arguments will all be a waste of time and will likely descend rapidly into trolling for kicks. Despite this, the arguments will still have been rational.
