So I hear that this is where the Sceptic community is at

2018-08-17 18:44:45 UTC [Sparta #general]  

Ah

2018-08-17 18:45:36 UTC [Sparta #general]  

Well, I guess if there is one positive about Sceptism, it produces humor

2018-08-17 18:47:21 UTC [Sparta #general]  

I personally think that Sceptism is asinine, but I wanted to debate it with believers

2018-08-17 18:47:31 UTC [Sparta #general]  

So I'll pose my inquiry:

2018-08-17 18:48:15 UTC [Sparta #general]  

Even if what you immediately perceive is unreliable, could you really convince yourself that it is night when the ruling faculty of your mind differs to tell you that it is day? You would think, even if you could not determine exactly how many individual specks of dust are on your desk, that you could gather enough epistemological evidence that would suffice to say that there is dust on your desk.

2018-08-17 18:48:22 UTC [Sparta #general]  

I mean... I dunno

2018-08-17 18:48:49 UTC [Sparta #general]  

But it is

2018-08-17 18:49:17 UTC [Sparta #general]  

That's a basic principle of what Pyrrho taught

2018-08-17 18:49:56 UTC [Sparta #general]  

I personally laughed through the fragments of Timon and Silloi

2018-08-17 18:50:21 UTC [Sparta #general]  

It just doesn't make sense

2018-08-17 18:50:32 UTC [Sparta #general]  

Epictetus said it better:

2018-08-17 18:50:35 UTC [Sparta #general]  

```If a man should come forward and say: "Know that there is nothing that can be known, but all things are incapable of sure evidence;" or if another says, "Believe me and you will be the better for it, that a man ought not to believe any thing;" or again, if another should say, "Learn from me, man, that it is not possible to learn any thing; I tell you this and will teach you, if you please." Now in what respect do these differ from those? Whom shall I name? Those who call themselves Academics? "Men, agree with us that no man agrees with another: believe us that no man believes anybody."```

2018-08-17 18:53:04 UTC [Sparta #general]  

Here's the rest:

2018-08-17 18:57:31 UTC [Sparta #general]  

Pyrrhonism is treatised dementia.

2018-08-17 18:58:12 UTC [Sparta #general]  

I mean,

2018-08-17 19:00:10 UTC [Sparta #general]  

Of course you should carry some some doubt and apply criticism to your perception, but you must balance that with a measure epistemology.

2018-08-17 19:00:39 UTC [Sparta #general]  

Pyrrho's Sceptic school would have you throw that out

2018-08-17 19:03:03 UTC [Sparta #general]  

I don't understand what is so attractive about it. Epicurus had less destructive ideas.

2018-08-17 19:03:49 UTC [Sparta #general]  

Well, I thought this was a Sceptic server...

2018-08-17 19:05:22 UTC [Sparta #general]  

lies

2018-08-17 19:06:36 UTC [Sparta #general]  

These things are not consistent

2018-08-17 19:08:18 UTC [Sparta #general]  

Well, of course

2018-08-17 19:08:21 UTC [Sparta #general]  

I know that

2018-08-17 19:08:40 UTC [Sparta #general]  

Sargon of Akkad has been dead for over 4000 years

2018-08-17 19:08:46 UTC [Sparta #general]  

What are you saying?

2018-08-17 19:12:13 UTC [Sparta #general]  

Pyrrho founded the Sceptic school...

2018-08-17 19:14:07 UTC [Sparta #general]  

Isn't Skeptic just another spelling of Sceptic?

2018-08-17 19:15:13 UTC [Sparta #general]  

That's pretty much what Pyrrhonism is.

2018-08-17 19:15:44 UTC [Sparta #general]  

Basically

2018-08-17 19:16:27 UTC [Sparta #general]  

It's the most popular throwaway ancient ideology

2018-08-17 19:17:00 UTC [Sparta #general]  

Depends on where you go

2018-08-17 19:17:13 UTC [Sparta #general]  

And how you define it

2018-08-17 19:17:45 UTC [Sparta #general]  

Alright, now we're talking

2018-08-17 19:18:07 UTC [Sparta #general]  

This server isn't Sc(k)eptic at all

2018-08-17 19:18:52 UTC [Sparta #general]  

Oh, I know what this server is

2018-08-17 19:19:26 UTC [Sparta #general]  

I've never met anyone in my life who believes in Pyrrhonist Skepticism

2018-08-17 19:19:42 UTC [Sparta #general]  

The old iteration of it was developed for a reason

2018-08-17 19:19:58 UTC [Sparta #general]  

I'm just bored is all

2018-08-17 19:20:43 UTC [Sparta #general]  

Last time I came in here, I claimed that I thought the purpose of this server was discussion of Mesopotamian history

2018-08-17 19:21:17 UTC [Sparta #general]  

Oh, no

2018-08-17 19:21:27 UTC [Sparta #general]  

I used the same account

2018-08-17 19:21:33 UTC [Sparta #general]  

You can see the history

2018-08-17 19:22:01 UTC [Sparta #general]  

Back in December

2018-08-17 19:22:08 UTC [Sparta #general]  

@Fitzydog Pretty much

2018-08-17 19:22:16 UTC [Sparta #general]  

But I laugh at my own jokes

2018-08-17 19:22:34 UTC [Sparta #general]  

So as long as I get a kick out of it, that's all that matters

2018-08-17 19:23:47 UTC [Sparta #general]  

It helps my mood

2018-08-17 19:23:58 UTC [Sparta #general]  

Right now, I have nothing else to do

2018-08-17 19:24:14 UTC [Sparta #general]  

It is if I want it to be

2018-08-17 19:26:05 UTC [Sparta #general]  

I know, don't worry.

2018-08-17 19:26:31 UTC [Sparta #general]  

Maybe I'll come back in 8 months with something else.

2018-08-17 19:26:38 UTC [Sparta #general]  

hi

2018-08-17 19:27:23 UTC [Sparta #general]  

ok
