Cynique Posted July 23, 2023 Report Share Posted July 23, 2023 I don't think we can ever tell if something is absolutely true, including what i just said. All that we see or seem Is just a dream within a Dream. Maybe 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol....who is "we"? Speak for yourself, because I CAN tell when some things are true. I know it's raining outside. I see it and can stick my hand out the window and feel it. Don't make things more complicated than they need to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had the same thought yesterday. The thought I had this morning was that life has a theme. I am not certain f you choose it, it is chosen for you, or perhaps it is the interface with your talents and opportunities. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What you think is true may be a hallucination. You may just be imagining it's raining. When it comes to the subject under discussion, i'll make things as complicated or as simple as i please. You don't set the rules. So keep your unsolicited advice to yourself. i said: "I don't think we can ever tell if something is absolutely true." If you don't agree with my opinion, that's your problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am pretty certain this is true otherwise there wouldn't be opposing viewpoints. Last year I met a flat earther. I was unsuccessful in convincing them the earth was round.

Being a "flat earther" is than just the belief, it is the way the "flat earther's" brain works. Consider my years-long effort to convince @Pioneer1 that the social construct of race is not based in genetics. There is nothing that will change his mind; it is something he chooses to believe. The flat earther simply cannot see the flaws in their reasoning, which is obvious to others. Maybe there is a medical term for this... In any event, I'm not surprised you were unable to convince the flat earther that the planet is round... technically an oblate spheroid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delano Posted July 26, 2023 Author Report Share Posted July 26, 2023 @Troy generally I am unsuccessful in getting people to see my point of view much less change their mind. So I don't discuss much and now I also talk less. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pioneer1 Posted July 27, 2023 Report Share Posted July 27, 2023 Cynique What you think is true may be a hallucination. Not likely. I'm healthy mentally and physically and all of my senses are working properly. Also, other people agreed with me that it was raining. Troy The flat earther simply cannot see the flaws in their reasoning, which is obvious to others. Maybe there is a medical term for this... In any event, I'm not surprised you were unable to convince the flat earther that the planet is round... technically an oblate spheroid But would you dare put "flat Earthers" and those who believe in the concept of racial classification in the SAME category? That would be similar to me putting those who don't believe in the concept of racial classification in the same category of those who deny the existence of racism period.

Troy Posted July 29, 2023 Report Share Posted July 29, 2023 @Delano I guess on some level, and on somethings, we all have a little "flat earther" in us. I'm sure there is nothing Neil Degrass Tyson could say to dissuade you in your belief in Astrology.

Both people reject the observable facts, manufacture their own perspectives, seek like-minded people to reinforce the false beliefs, and reject anything that might undermine their perspective. People who believe there is a genetic basis for race are no different than Flat Earthers or antivaxxers same mentality, different subject. As I suggested earlier, our minds working this way is part of the human condition... natural. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
