also your ultimate goal should be the truth

not to support your bias

so if someone tells you, oh here's a way to find the truth, you should want to pursue it

@WonTon That isn't quantifiable

im actually curious about the way you approach this now

because my goal, is in pursuit of the truth

Yea it's not quantifiable

so if someone tells me, here's a way to get to the truth

i would love to pursue it

Me too, you come with a claim give me the source for that claim.

That source isn't quantifiable

what do you mean by quantifiable?

you want numbers?

We can't understand the data clearly.

i see

hang on

The basis of the argument is flawed too, you can have connected flights and still not be cheap. Canada to US to Mexico is not cheaper than Canada to Mexico, even if Canada to US is more popular than to Mexico.

What have I walked into

hell

@rivenator12113 im getting more quantifiable information but im actually curious, why would you not want to look into a source of information or potential information?

personally, I've looked quite extensively into FE models and claims

@WonTon Look at what I just typed, I have that to back me up. Even if it was more in demand, the basis of the argument falls.

i don't just dismiss what other people say and say well you don't have a source well too bad

ill do my own research

no that's besides the point, im just curious because your default was, "you want the opposing side to provide you with a source?"

my question to you is why would you not want to do your own research for the pros and cons of your own argument?

Yes, an opposing party should not be the one fortifying your argument because you're too stupid to make a good one.

Well then where's your proof that flight prices are solely reliant on distance?

woah

Ok just saying this conversation leads to know where and plus you can't win the conversation

no need to resort to ad hominems now

@rivenator12113 I guess the point I'm getting to is your ultimate pursuit the truth? or prove FE?

since the way you answer and react seems very much like the latter rather than the former

A debate goal isn't truth, it's to prove X point of view. If we had a friendly conversation yes maybe

the truth is flat earth. if you believe in anything besides flat earth you are not pursuing the truth.

lets forget debate for a minute

well that's ironically contradictory

doesn't matter what you believe, or if everyone is delusional, the truth will remain the truth regardless of what people believe.

you can think the earth is a orange that you can eat, doesn't change reality.

as your goal in life in general, your pursuit should be truth no?
