You will stay in that box

2019-10-26 09:19:09 UTC  

And defend against all comers

2019-10-26 09:19:31 UTC  

But what if it's a really big box tho

2019-10-26 09:19:35 UTC  

But

2019-10-26 09:19:37 UTC  

Actually

2019-10-26 09:19:56 UTC  

because id actually vouch for people having a bias

2019-10-26 09:20:14 UTC  

because it shows they care in a way

2019-10-26 09:20:39 UTC  

that they want to utilize science and not just make more of it

2019-10-26 09:20:49 UTC  

or philosophy

2019-10-26 09:21:32 UTC  

If we think to the early days of the Church, in its confronting Islam, we actually see how the formulations the Church fathers came up with to defend Christian dogma and policy *in the face of Muslim denial of revelation* actually helped lead to the Renaissance.

2019-10-26 09:21:39 UTC  

But

2019-10-26 09:22:05 UTC  

Those Fathers, from a defensive mode for sure, did strive outward towards new thought.

2019-10-26 09:22:22 UTC  

das gud, mang

2019-10-26 09:22:23 UTC  

So you can strive outwards into new thought from a defensive rather than exploratory disposition.

2019-10-26 09:22:52 UTC  

But what if you just innovate your new thought constantly

2019-10-26 09:22:56 UTC  

I know

2019-10-26 09:23:06 UTC  

into something better and better

2019-10-26 09:23:18 UTC  

just be aware of why you're on here

2019-10-26 09:23:19 UTC  

and not other thoughts

2019-10-26 09:23:39 UTC  

I don't quite know what you're asking

2019-10-26 09:23:42 UTC  

Just build on your own bias

2019-10-26 09:23:49 UTC  

and not create new ideas

2019-10-26 09:23:52 UTC  

stay in your box

2019-10-26 09:24:46 UTC  

But, there are other ideas and an, at least mostly, shared reality

2019-10-26 09:24:48 UTC  

Shared problems

2019-10-26 09:24:52 UTC  

Shared feedback

2019-10-26 09:25:01 UTC  

And there's logic

2019-10-26 09:25:09 UTC  

So that's going to lead to intercourse of ideas

2019-10-26 09:25:15 UTC  

And some commonality

2019-10-26 09:25:19 UTC  

Substantial

2019-10-26 09:25:27 UTC  

what if you prohibit them from growing so only yours exist?

2019-10-26 09:25:33 UTC  

would that be a bad thing

2019-10-26 09:25:44 UTC  

if you still grow

2019-10-26 09:25:56 UTC  

and innovate just from your own bias'

2019-10-26 09:26:13 UTC  

and kill everything else

2019-10-26 09:26:16 UTC  

Well, if one idea was to do human sacrifice, suppressing that idea, unless it was necessary for racial survival in extremis, would be pretty certainly good.

2019-10-26 09:26:26 UTC  

So suppression could be good.

2019-10-26 09:26:34 UTC  

In edge cases

2019-10-26 09:26:43 UTC  

But, generally no.

2019-10-26 09:26:48 UTC  

We should have free discourse

2019-10-26 09:26:52 UTC  

Let ideas compete
