No, there's at least three, if we include emotions; don't tell me scientist's never miss a valid point bc there angry with their interlocutor. Even a fanatic is capable of reasoned thought... LOL 😂 Look up secular...

Seems arrogant to me...

Not at all, I'm just pointing out that there's more than one path to disseminate information, even if you don't agree.

From your perspective, you're punching down; what do you think, they think about you???

This seems a bit of an overreaction, given the topic: I initially agreed with your post and added an enquiry on the topic of FE, my anecdotal evidence of a trusted source (they explicitly said that on a QI show), your trusted source is just different to mine, I just don't have access to the elves workings. Your style of debate often leaves me angry and I basically agree with you, not to mention my willingness to accept I'm wrong; imagine the effect on 'them'???

Low hanging fruit, the easy target's to feel so much better than I am, Ask not for whom this bell tolls, perchance it tolls for thee. IOW, every coin has a dark side. What makes you the arbiter of truth?

According to the "QI elves" there's no evidence of that. I guess the troll is much older than I thought. 🙂

But a generation or two down the line and the troll becomes a believer...

Indeed, but why is it better than nothing, life is a constant surprise even here on earth. Plastics that the planet can't ingest, is being eaten by fungus' and bacteria...

Agreed, but that's what fascinates me about the flat earth society, there's no historical evidence that anyone believed that, before something like the 1970's; the birth of the troll???

But you haven't dismantled them. You've just dug a different trench.

I have no idea, do you?

Yet you assume...

And now we take a deep dive into the rabbit hole; did Alice teach you nothing???

Why would you assume that?

Hmm, the theory of everything... When is it reasonable to assume that? Hmm... IOW, how could you get a PhD in everyting, bro???

For me 'I'm high' is both but context dependant... 🙃

Only when you look, which is my point... 😉

You can't debate with someone who's certain they're correct, but it makes sense to talk to them and learn from them; otherwise you run the risk of being the ying to their yang, and so no one learns anything. Life is never binary unless your in a pub quiz.

We're all standing on that platform, potentially, the realisation of which certainly focuses the mind. 😇

That's bascally my position on the subject, it seems to me to be the most stable platform from which to interpret the various Bible's, e.g. I can forgive myself for being jealous as fuck, as long as I didn't, actually, wring your neck... 🙂

And long may it continue, with certain caveats...

The original language no longer exists, all anyone can do is take a best guess. And there in lies the problem, I'm not saying JWs aren't smart, but the many ways the scriptures have been divided; should lead to a scholarly understanding of misunderstanding...

Given his proclivity towards the mysterious, we're lucky he settled on gravity as the, sort of, answer; we could all be obsessed with creating gold... 🙃

I think it describes the moment of enlightenment, metaphorically one joins god and so no longer needs its guidance.
