He's got some nerve to say that, and very little self-awareness. I recall mention of the words "disgusting" and "troll" from him not too far back into...
No one here has dismissed Tim's argument out of hand. I disagree with Tim's argument because it's just a semantic confusion. It's counterproductive. I...
How dare you ruin his narrative like that? It's not that it fails under the scientific method, it's that it's a strong cultural taboo which poses a ch...
Yes, that's clearly a problem he has. It's most obvious in how he has replied to you, but he did it with me also, asking me irrelevant questions as th...
Yes, and that sort of approach has wider implications in philosophy. It is deeply immoral, is it not? Intellectual honesty is right up there as a fund...
The bigger problem here is that we are supposed to be a community of intellectuals, yet some people here struggle with something so basic. Philosophy ...
I predicted such a dumbfounded response, so I went back and edited my reply: I literally gave the good reason in the first sentence: there isn't a shr...
You genuinely believe that I did that with no good reason? I literally gave the good reason in the first sentence: there isn't a shred of credible evi...
No one has claimed that it's all false. Why are you addressing claims that no one here has made? There's a basic and well-known standard for this. Ext...
Do not ask me loaded questions which do not accurately represent any claim that I have made. If you're too incompetent to accurately represent what I'...
It certainly looks like spin to me. What is your intent behind mentioning these irrelevancies, though? That's a rhetorical question, because I don't t...
That's certainly not what I meant by due diligence. Which would be, for example, your choice of phrasing. You spin it as though he is a victim of a sc...
I said that I doubted your paraphrasing, not that I dislike your opinion, and I wasn't suggesting that you're completely off track. It is an issue of ...
I reject more or less everything you just angrily spurted at me and stand by my prior claims. There is a wealth of scientific evidence that has been a...
"Generally ignored or maligned" - or rightly discredited? To me, that rings of confirmation bias from you. I don't trust your spin, and I don't think ...
Summarise the important parts of the article. Why should it be believed that they're "recalling" previous lives rather than making them up? Oh, okay, ...
I'm not going to be proposing any world wide religion or belief system because I strongly disagree with the idea. If all that really matters is happin...
Don't you think you're jumping the gun? You haven't explained why he supposedly states that, nor have you quoted from the book. And you seem unjustifi...
You don't do discussion, so you have some nerve to lecture others in this regard or to invite them to discuss matters, giving them false hope. Discuss...
It was a point based on a distinction which, if he was more consistent and cared to apply critical thinking skills, he would agree with, but he cares ...
You should have done that to begin with. I don't know why people bother to quote other people if they don't address anything in the quote. It was crys...
There are several obvious things wrong with what you just said. 1. It made no mention of what I was objecting to in the quote, perhaps because you wer...
No, only what seems to be little more than fiction on God and related mumbo-jumbo is accessible to everyone, the only real difference being that most ...
No, it's a judgement, but values have nothing to do with it. An example of credible evidence would be the science supporting the claim that Earth isn'...
You think I'm going to just take your word for that? Of course there is such a thing, and establishment is irrelevant except in relation to a demonstr...
Yes, because there isn't a shred of credible evidence in its favour. Only fools take seriously such presumed possibilities. It falls under the same gr...
I have. It goes like this. I point out a counterexample, acknowledged by Michael and others. You then dismiss it and ramble about some phantom harm, t...
For the record, he said he was wrong. We can close the discussion. Wait! Unless... he was being sarcastic? But I thought he was a serious-minded elite...
Not really. So long as you're talking about the same thing, then it doesn't really matter. It only matters if you make it matter, and it just isn't wo...
Oh, right. The coffee. Sometimes I forget the coffee. And the cup! That mischievous cup. Always running away from me by staying perfectly stationary i...
Duty to what? Or who? Anyway, I speak my mind and take joy in playing with mice. That's just the sort of gadfly I am. A catlike gadfly, I guess. A cat...
It's the exact opposite of an aid. It's a problematic assumption, a hindrance. I don't think anyone else sees it that way. You come across as ranting....
I'm not going to deny that, but I'll say that if you allow yourself to be startled by popped balloons, and if you allow your buttons to be pressed, th...
