It makes sense from what I've seen
Imagine being so distrusting that you started to doubt the calorie count on a nutrition label
That's no way to live
@!dammnation3(Liberalist) even then, proven otherwise doesn't mean they will always be trustworthy
sure.
@Copernicus but that happens
Actually maybe it is the only way to live
but what's it matter?
but if the suddenly make a left turn from your previous interactions, not much you can do.
just cut ties with that person
fool me once shame on you.
and usually the calorie counts are wrong, btw. As they are just averages.
fool me twice, shame on me.
@!dammnation3(Liberalist) but if they are brilliant, you don't have time to cut ties. They get close to you in order to stab you
If they're just averages, that's fine; I'm gonna eat a large sample of whatever it is I'm buying
This conversation is on par with world leaders being paranoid about their highest retainers
humans are social creature.
then you aren't worried too much about accuracy
so, again, what's it matter?
I'm willing to take the risk sometimes, to potentially get burnt
whether you believe in a thing or not, if it doesn't impact you, what's it matter?
I know I am logical in saying I can't trust anyone truly to no end. But I actually am very generous in allowing people to prove to me if they are good or not.
But that is in normal social interaction
yeah, that's a great way to operate.
Of course
It matters that the people I trust to provide me with information are correct enough of the time. I don't require the people I trust to be correct 100% of the time
Why does people get so worked up over someone wearing trump shirt or trump hat.
@Dusty Morgan echo chamber
well would you trust them if they weren't?
It could be a gift from his daughter. He is wearing it to appreciate his daughter's gift, but he actually voted for hillary.
There's a bunch of shit that's irrelevant; I don't really care if scientists are correct about the expanding universe or anthropogenic climate change; I'll be dead before any of that matters.
The left doesn't think before they attack, they automatically attack.
@Dusty Morgan the problem is that many believe Trump to be racist because they believe and repeat what they hear from their most vocal and zealous friends
@Dusty Morgan Leftists get mad at Trump apparel for the same reason I feel disgusted by dyed hair. They're signals that you're from the enemy tribe
some people are easily offended by the color of a persons skin. For example, orange.
@Copernicus I do care about scientific bullshit because it is basically religious now with people being so in favor of appeal to authority as a logical fallacy
I'd rather people test something themselves before they believe it
i'd rather people not believe they are right.
As Tesla said, and I paraphrase, "scientists of today go through theory after theory after theory which they cannot prove. And so they create a tower of speculative nonsense"
@Gilgamesh Why does it matter to you that others commit logical fallacies? Whether they're right or not about whatever they're talking about has no impact on you aside from a personal grudge
