I also suggest that if you want to state your observations as though they are true, right, and/or correct, that is; A claim, then you also be able to back up and support YOUR observation/s and claim/s.
Observations require no support.
They require looking.
But, if you want to express your "observations" and expect them to be accepted, then you need to be able to back them up and support them with actual evidence and/or proof.
OBVIOUSLY, you are completely INCAPABLE of doing this. So, either you FEAR the outcome, or, your "observations' were FALSE from the outset.

LOL. Obviously you do not 'have to'. But if you CAN NOT or WILL NOT propose ANY, then that would be for reasons.
And, if you will not propose ANY thing, then do not be to surprised if NO one else can SEE what you, allegedly can see.
Try looking better.
This is the WORST attempt at "justifying" your NON ACTIONS that I have ever OBSERVED.

For all we know what you claim to 'be there' could all of your OWN complete ILLUSION.
Indeed, YOU are imagining things. I haven't made any claims.
Yes you have when you made the CLAIM that you had OBSERVED that I
have confirmed a whole lot of your biases in this post.
You CLAIM that you can SEE a "whole lot of biases of mine". You even CLAIM that these "biases" have been CONFIRMED.
But your complete INABILITY to SHOW absolutely ANY evidence at all for this OBSERVATION of YOURS just PROVES that 'you' are LYING, being DECEIVED or DECEITFUL, and/or are IMAGINING things, which are NOT THERE AT ALL.
Your lack of providing ANY thing at all is just PROVING me MORE CORRECT the longer this keeps going on for.
So, please FEEL FREE to NOT provide ANY thing at all to back up and support, what 'you' call, YOUR OBSERVATIONS.

By just expressing what you have, allegedly, observed.
That is what I did!
I observed your biases! <---- This is me expressing it.[/quote]
That is just 'you' expressing what you said YOU OBSERVED.
But because you have FAILED COMPLETELY in providing absolutely ANY evidence at all what you say (or claim) you have observed here could be just one of YOUR BIGGEST LIES or DECEITS that you have attempted to make here in this forum. But which I am EXPOSING now.

WHY are you SO AFRAID you just express/expose YOUR OWN OBSERVATIONS?
I am not afraid. I AM expressing it. Let me express my observations for you again... in 3...2..1
I observed your biases!
Okay. If you say so, then is MUST BE so, correct?
And, this my friends is ANOTHER PRIME EXAMPLE of just how CONFIRMATION BIASES can so EASILY FOOL and DECEIVE the recipient.
This person known here as "skepdick" actually BELIEVES wholeheartedly that they have "observed" some 'thing' but they actually have ABSOLUTELY NO 'thing' at all which could back up and support this BELIEF. This person is ACTUALLY SEEING 'things' which are NOT actually 'there' solely because of pre-existing 'confirmation biases'.

What you call 'observations' I call 'claims' here.
What a stupid word! I call them observations because I observed them.
Why do you call them claims?
BECAUSE 'you', "skepdick", made the CLAIM that
"I have confirmed a whole lot of I biases in this post."
Which, do NOT forget, you have FAILED WHOLEHEARTEDLY in backing up and supporting.
Remember we are in a PHILOSOPHY FORUM. So, if you want to say that you have "observed" things but CAN NOT or WILL NOT provide absolutely ANY evidence NOR proof for what you SAY you have observed, then that is all well and good. But I would suggest that you NEVER expect ANY one to accept what you say is actually true at all. This is because if you WILL NOT provide ANY supporting evidence for your "observations", then there is a VERY GOOD REASON for this. Which, I will add, becomes MORE CLEARER and MORE OBVIOUS the more 'you' 'try to' HIDE.

For example, to me the words;
You have confirmed a whole lot of your biases in this post. is A CLAIM. Which, by the way, you have FAILED MISERABLY in supporting as being true.
Supporting my observations?!? What an idiotic notion!
'You' can 'try' absolutely ANY and EVERY 'tactic' as you like to 'try to' DEFLECT away from YOUR COMPLETE INABILITY to PROVIDE EVIDENCE. But they do NOT work on 'me'.
YOUR LIES and DECEITS are GLARINGLY OBVIOUS, and will REMAIN SO.

What would you like me to do? Observe again?
Considering, especially, that we are in a 'philosophy forum' what I would like 'you' to do is just provide EVIDENCE of what you CLAIM you have OBSERVED. JUST LIKE a person on a 'science forum' would HAVE TO provide EVIDENCE of what they have CLAIMED to have OBSERVED. Otherwise ANY one could say that they have "observed" ANY thing, in the hope that this will somehow PROVE what they ALREADY BELIEVE and ACCEPT is true.
People can NOT just go around saying things like;
"Actually the earth revolves around the sun", and expect this to be accepted by "others" without providing absolutely ANY evidence at all.
If people WANT "others" to ACCEPT that what they say [claim] that they have OBSERVED is true, then they NEED TO back up AND support this with actual EVIDENCE and/or PROOF. Which is something that you have FAILED doing here, COMPLETELY.

Also, what you say here that you have observed is just an allegation, until PROVEN otherwise.
Proving observations??!?! What a fucking idiotic notion!
If you say and BELIEVE so.
This BELIEF of YOURS will ALLOW you to SAY and CLAIM that you have "observed" absolutely ANY thing you like, and that that is ALL 'you' NEED to do. But I will AGAIN suggest to 'you' that 'you' do NOT expect that what you CLAIM to have "observed" to be accepted, by ANY one.

Prove to me that you are speaking English right now!
WHY?
What for?
Your BELIEFS about, so called, "philosophers", and about 'philosophy' itself, and the CONFIRMATION BIASES associated with this BELIEF of YOURS is leading 'you' completely astray. You are confirming YOUR CONFIRMATION BIASES more and more the further we keep going on with this.
By the way, I am WRITING. And, I am WRITING in a 'language' whatever one CHOOSES to call 'it'.
OBVIOUSLY, NOT EVERY one calls the language, which you call "english", 'english'. And, if you CHOOSE to call the language before your eyes RIGHT NOW 'english' or not is completely up to you, and is YOUR CHOICE ALONE.
Also, if you were to inform me of how 'you' define the word 'english', then I COULD PROVE, to 'you', whether one is speaking, or writing, in 'english' or not.
Do you call these words in front of 'you' NOW 'english'?
If yes, then this is ALREADY self-PROVEN.
However, if no, then okay.

Without ANY actual CLARIFICATION how do you EXPECT "others" to KNOW what you have, supposedly, 'observed', (and claim is true)?
I don't expect any such thing from others. I expect you to just LOOK AT what IS alone.
I am doing this.
As EVIDENCED and PROVEN above.
