What if the earth is spherical, but we're on the inside?
What then Mister Smarty Pants?

Re: How?
Arguing/discussing shit on the internet is almost always a huge waste of time
But, sometimes I learn some me things new and valuable from “the enemy”
Especially when it’s a subject I don’t know much about
Most people won’t lift a finger to help you out online, but goddamn, if you are appearing to challenge their pet belief, or worse, something they are an expert in, they will move heaven and earth to prove you are wrong

Re: How?
Many people don’t even know how to do an analysis of facts to form a judgment.
They simply never were taught how. The rational, skeptical, unbiased analysis, or evaluation of factual evidence isn’t even a thing to them. The very idea of self-directed, self-disciplined, self-monitored, and self-corrective thinking just doesn’t exist. Much less rigorous standards of excellence and mindful command of one’s own thinking. Even if one does consider it important, as valuable, using effective communication and problem-solving abilities as well as a commitment to overcome native egocentrism and sociocentrism isn’t something one just acquired by chance.
Hell, if anybody actually reads that above, it probably sounds like nonsense to them

Re: How?
That cartoon stereotype Indian over there?
"If fighting is sure to result in victory, then you must fight! Sun Tzu said that, and I'd say he knows a little bit more about fighting than you do, pal, because he invented it, and then he perfected it so that no living man could best him in the ring of honor. Then, he used his fight money to buy two of every animal on earth, and then he herded them onto a boat, and then he beat the crap out of every single one. And from that day forward any time a bunch of animals are together in one place it's called a zoo! (Beat) Unless it's a farm!"

Re: How?
So can I take this as an admission that you're full of crap when you argue? It would save me a lot of time. Or perhaps you could signal when you're trying to be serious.robinson wrote: ↑Thu Oct 01, 2020 12:18 pm Arguing/discussing shit on the internet is almost always a huge waste of time
