Ive reached that conclusion too
If when you challenge their presuppositions they shut down and repeatedly refuse to engage, I count them as animals.
Basically
Id give christians more credit too if they viewed their religion more as a philosophy than some magical force
jut more incel cope
yes, but you've changed to that
everyone shuts down when you challenge their presuppositions
as a defense mechanism
I am joking btw
i agree i see most people as just sophisticated animals.
@fuguer no
we're not as special as we think we are
Philosopher's don't
Not real ones
They entertain other presuppositions
Other systems
Challenges
etc
Doesn't mean they accept them
Yeah but most people aren’t great thinkers
Thereby they can grow unlike most humans
They possess *mind*, in the Aristotelean sense.
A rare faculty amongst the mass.
So, when I'm generous I consider all those to be proto-humans
@WWM can you grow with only a bias forcing you
not the urge to think
what
Can we grow with bias forcing us?
Rather than the positive impetus to think?
yes
not to entertain other thoughts
whatever, I was (mostly) just joking
So, bias being tradition, cultural impositions, etc?
yes
and I say mostly because I believe there is a small amount of cope in there
lol
instinct too
is that a bad thing?
The answer is no.
If that's the *only* thing driving you, no
