You do know no one has touched this thread since January, yes?

Quote by: Epistemologist  Logic isn't necessarily the the biggest thing we should live our lives on. Sometimes people overestimate their smartness and unduly overemphasize rationality; it's possible to get addicted to one's own sense of self-power, in other words. To call something "bullshit" just because it doesn't seem to correspond with your inflated sense of self is misguided and irresponsible, in my opinion.
True, there are some BS claims out there, but sometimes standards for normalcy suggest that some claims, despite their apparent departure from logical standards, aren't necessarily BS. Of course, it depends on your perspective, but I don't like your abusive tone. Maybe you don't care though, so carry on. |
Do you see how your second paragraph contradicts your first? If we're not so interested in logic, then how are we to discern BS from truth?
