People with no deep thoughts

Unless you can measure your 'absolutely absolute' truths in every possibly instance (infinite possibities; you can't) it cannot be considered a fact.

I'm not sidestepping any question, you are just dismissing my claims because they do not match your own.

 

I know an old guy that drills wells. He's fun to talk to

 

I find that whenever I try to get philosophical about the nature of the universe, the meaning of life, right-and-wrong.

I always come up with

No Conclusion

Does that make my thoughts shallow?

 

I'm sorry to start this with sweetie but sweetie by your standards there are no facts. You assign a confidence interval to everything. So while you can't prove a negative, you can say that a theist has a 0.00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000002% chance of being right. Either there is a supreme being that is capable of suspending the laws of physics or there is not. One side is correct, the other is incorrect.

 

I would deeply appreciate youz guyz watching this video, and if you find it disagreeable, I'll shut my mouth.

Yes, sweetie, what Im saying is there are no facts.

Questioning everything means accepting nothing as a fact. You can't preach one aspect while ignoring the other.

 

You treat gravity like a fact right?

 

As a generally accepted notion, yes

 

You seem to be a relativist in the most extreme sense. Maybe conservative christians are just right as liberals even though they want to take away gay rights and outlaw sodemy because the bible says so. Maybe what the Taliban is doing is just as moral as what we're doing, they're just throwing acid in the face of little girls because they've interpreted the koran that way.

Who knows, there are no facts lolololol we shouldn't try to get people on the same page of equal rights regardless of gender or sexual preference lolol facts don't exist lol.

 

You've already accomplished step number one of maintaining a failing argument (name calling), naturally step two is to imply drastically irrelevant and facetious clauses.

 

You're doing the same thing on a lesser scale. Or do you agree there are / should be universal absolutes like equal rights? You implied there were no absolutes. What name did I call you?

 

Equal rights are universal absolutes? Is that a fact?

 

I think there's no other way to maximize well being yes. I think if scientific instruments were advanced enough, it would be provable. You'd only need like 400 trillion times the computing power we have now. That's like 600 years away roughly.

The Dew Decimal System. A COMMUNIST PLOT.

Right up there with The Metric System. That Communist-Jimmy Carter wanted us to standardize on The Metric System.

How many pints are in a gallon? How many 3/16 are in a foot?

Yea we're fucked.

 

Gravity may be a fact-but it cannot be explained.

The universe's most powerful (yet beatable) force is the least understood.

 

Equal right are not a universal absolute.

In western thought equal rights are the given, the supposed, the believed. Not fact.

Just like in Linear Geometry-the shortest distance is between 2 points is a straight line-is the given. All other laws of geometry are based on this given-given as fact. Just like we give as fact equal rights.

"We hold these truths to be self-evident-that all men are created equal..." - probably one of the most important and challenged lines outside of The Bible and Quaran in our times.

 

I genuinely like most people on a personal basis. Sometimes I may like someone and still find their opinions reflective of what I hate most about humanity as a whole.

Sometimes deep thinkers can be annoying, to be honest. They can sometimes take life too seriously. I'm a deep thinker but I also know how to shut off my brain and just enjoy. I like being around people who also know how to simply enjoy the moment. Shallow people can be great fun sometimes.

A lack of logic, intelligience, critical thinking skills (and i absolutely ABHOR the fact that many people don't use critical thinking skills...but I hate it more as a whole. It doesn't cause me to dislike an individual) is certainly holding the human race back. However, I think a lack of compassion and basic love for your fellow man is a greater hindrance.

Everyone has something to learn and to teach.

 

Pretty wise bro!
