I think humans do the right thing by coming to conclusions when forced to do so.

Your acquaintance with humans must have been a very different experience to mine.

I've seen people, including myself, be SO SURE of the truth...only to realize that's not what happened. At a "training course" I was on yesterday. The instructor showed a diagram of three vehicles involved in a traffic accident that was developing. He asked the class which vehicle was at fault. A c...

In other words, you're just writing bullshit.

I suppose so.

You are not a contributing member of this forum.

Well it's not like anyone else was taking any notice of you.

You're a troll.

I'd like to think there's a bit more to me than that.

Go away, please.

Okay, bye for now.

Whatever it is, it's probably more interesting than your post.

Why/How? Care to explain your opinion or are you just going to spew out some nonsense bullshit?

IMO you've invited a larger question Simone Weil touched on.

Why are you against me?

Because the three posts of yours that I've read indicate you have a very simplistic view of the World. You appear to see only in black and white.

I've noticed the lack of scientistics (adherents of Scientism, that is reductionist at core) on this forum. Why is it that Scientism is frown upon here?

And that movement will be known as knowledge. ...
