Sighs.

So you must necessarily not accept anything without having obtained the raw data, formed a hypothesis, processed the data, and formed a conclusion, by yourself.

Or are you just selective in the facts you choose to accept without personal research and verification and the ones you don't.

Ludicrous hypocrisy.



I accept tangibles without evidence. Neither of the original points were tangible or independently verifiable.

I do not accept memes and ideas without supporting evidence.

Please provide me with some examples and I will guide you through my thought processes if you do not understand my point.

I suggest that your point is that critical thinking is wrong?


Ok, so you are selective in what you choose to accept as fact. That's fine, we won't get into bias effects and the subjectivity of any possible definition of tangibility.

It's also interesting that you would categorise the holocaust as a meme or an idea, but I think that pretty much sums up the way your own personal biases affect your thinking process.


We all are - that's what defines your personality. We are just a bunch of memes.

You are selective in what you have chosen to accept as fact too. You can't get out of that argument on a moral high ground as there isn't one.

You and me are alike, but are exposed to different memes.
