An "opinion of fact" is no better than a "self serving opinion". Its just an opinion not a fact.

‘Declaring victory by people involved is not a good indicator of who actually won’

You get the point. Term it however you wish

I thought that Truth is not a matter of debate or consensus. Or is it ? 😄

It’s not. Which is why declarations suck generally

I declare I am god

So what? Lol

Ok. I agree.

We both agree that you are God.

Haha - ok my phone will die now 1 %

God needs to charge his phone

😄

Yea. Precisely because he is AllMighty. Because being AllMighty, he can also chose to restrain his powers and not be able to charge his phone.

Restraint is an attribute that ads to his Allmightiness.

Yes - it was my decision to fail st what I was trying to achieve

Stone, People are living Gods. Gods are immortal Humans.

OMG... I cant believe what Im hearing.. So there are people who oppose free needels 😮

But its a public health issue.

Taxes should be voluntary

But they're not

Interesting.

Than how is wealth created?

Lobbyists are a cancer of society.

In Europe, there is a lobby law, but it's also "influence trafficking" punishment. To balance it.

@Tomer , your thought experiment contradicted your initial claim that

"You can only chose Monarchy or Democracy irationallly" - since your thought experiment appealed to reason within rational boundaries

And rationally simulated realities. So my thesis is: "You can choose Monarchy and Democracy rationally, too." And there is a 3rd way also: you can choose them a-rationally. Meaning by throwing a dice.

@Malachi the hypothetical was

Rationality doesn't always follow utility

agreed @Yussuki ₪

Reason in itself is irrational. But very useful most of the time.

It is irrational because in order to explain it's own existence and operations, it must postulate irrational claims and arises from emotions. The first irrational claim is "I exist" because you cannot demonstrate it causally in a liniar manner like reason works

"Learn to be indifferent to what makes no difference." - Marcus Aurelius

I understand that mr Aurelius was quite indifferent, since he was a General and very few things really made a difference for him😄
