2019-02-13 11:54:46 UTC  

He is saying that rationality is relative to perspective

2019-02-13 11:54:58 UTC  

Humans evloved emotions to survive within a group. Empathy is a hell of a drug.

2019-02-13 11:55:08 UTC  

it might be relative to our understanding of reality yeah

2019-02-13 11:55:13 UTC  

You both would think each other ration if you both believed the sun was made of cheese

2019-02-13 11:55:19 UTC  

Does not mean it is the best tool to apply to everything

2019-02-13 11:55:20 UTC  

THat is the fundamental difference in argumentation between Francis Bacon and Karl Popper.

2019-02-13 11:55:24 UTC

2019-02-13 11:56:01 UTC  

there is objective truth, and there is the attempt to approximate objective truth to the best of our abilities with varying success between individuals

2019-02-13 11:56:04 UTC  

Mongloids are very sleepy.

2019-02-13 11:56:19 UTC  

Scientific method is a far more reliable tool for figuring out stuff that actually works.

2019-02-13 11:56:28 UTC  

if they're sleepy they need coffee 😉

2019-02-13 11:56:30 UTC  

i think someone can objectively be more rational than someone else

2019-02-13 11:56:33 UTC  

you're looking for the word "tiring"

2019-02-13 11:56:39 UTC  

or exhausting

2019-02-13 11:56:44 UTC  

Regardless of how I feel about the hot stove, it will burn my skin all the same

2019-02-13 11:56:51 UTC  

SCIENCE

2019-02-13 11:57:03 UTC

2019-02-13 11:57:06 UTC  

Iksio lel

2019-02-13 11:57:11 UTC  

thats irrational!! everyone knows the reason you get burnt is cuz its actually GODS STOVE, and he's punishing you for touching it @Uksio

2019-02-13 11:57:15 UTC  

well why does that matter?

2019-02-13 11:57:38 UTC  

it results in people having different conclusions about reality

2019-02-13 11:57:45 UTC  

what is reality tho

2019-02-13 11:57:46 UTC  

Determinitstic universe removes free will though

2019-02-13 11:57:50 UTC  

who has a better grasp on reality

2019-02-13 11:57:52 UTC  

you?

2019-02-13 11:57:54 UTC  

or me?

2019-02-13 11:57:55 UTC  

But bible implies free will

2019-02-13 11:57:56 UTC  

reality is what is outside of the mind

2019-02-13 11:57:57 UTC  

Because perspective is really important when discussing ethics and emotions

2019-02-13 11:57:59 UTC  

So what is it?

2019-02-13 11:58:11 UTC  

but you can't comprehend what is outside of your mind

2019-02-13 11:58:19 UTC  

everything you see and experience is in your mind

2019-02-13 11:58:24 UTC  

this could all be fake

2019-02-13 11:58:28 UTC
