Before I used to believe the USA is a great nation with exemplary democracy, politics, strong economy and power. However with the recent event of Coro...
That sounds like epistemic or psychological conclusion based on your perception. Logical conclusion involves premises, arguments. One can say that the...
I thought the Trump time had passed, and it is a new era for the USA with the new president and new government. Are you still under the influence of t...
Sure. But for the rest of the humanity outside Australia, and the ones who has never been in the country like me, the media reports are the only sourc...
This channel is quite left wing and also popular. It was talking about Australia in the same tune as the NC channel. After all what we can have on mos...
In my case, it has to be inductive reasoning. I have seen hundreds of youtube videos about apocalypse predictions. But none of them were true. Back in...
You have made clear that even if you have been in Australia for all your life, you don't know it all. So what is the basis for your belief that the cu...
Not sure how accurate these reports are from the media. But we keep seeing the similar reports more often recently than any other time in the past. ht...
I do agree with your point. All the information I read or hear about other countries are totally via media reports. But why should I trust them? There...
When I hear or see something without concrete evidence for knowledge, beliefs are formed in the mind by intuitions. Therefore the origin of beliefs is...
Whatever content your post was, I feel that you were trying to offer me some advice. I am not going to try to argue with it. Whatever advice it was, I...
The post I was reading was not much different from the previous post to that, to me, so there was no point reading and rereading with attentive focus....
I would criticise Google, if there were any point for doing so, but they are just too big to be worried about my criticism :D so I feel it wouldn't be...
Sure. I was confused why I was quoted in @athena's post yet again for something which sounds totally different from the nature of Belief. I just tried...
If you read Athena quote of my previous post, it is about my comment on "not able to see anything logical and rational" from @nickolasgaspar posts ins...
"You must follow as told by Google, or the dictionaries says such as such, so it must be universal law and usage. Not accepting them is wrong. You are...
I think your problem seems that you somehow think whatever is in the Google and the commoners' dictionaries, must be abided and followed as some divin...
Sorry, all I can see is meaningless accusations keep insisting saying "you are wrong" " you are wrong". I doubt if you have read a single philosophica...
What usage of words are you talking about? Please read your own writings. It just keeps denying others points. You don't even provide any examples of ...
From quickly scanning your reply, I cannot see anything even remotely resembling like proper philosophical arguments. They are just futile denial afte...
I would only accept claims of others, if I was looking for some confirmation on something. I would also consider accepting the claims only after consi...
"Accept" is not a relevant concept in this topic, and that is my point. Please read my earlier posts. I said that there are different types of beliefs...
Faith and belief are closely related. Some textbooks define faith as a type of belief. Read my reply to @Jack Cummins. I think you must learn how to q...
I wouldn't say that faith is entirely emotion based. No that was not what I meant. Some textbooks define faith as type of belief, especially in contex...
Faith is different in that it is supported by the emotional side of mental state. When one has faith in something, someone or in God, one does not nee...
No, I never said knowledge has to be absolute. I don't think anyone here said that. Knowledge is just verified belief, and belief is just unverified k...
What claim and acceptance are you talking about here? Who is claiming what, and who is accepting which? It sounds like somebody is doing some deal to ...
I would have thought, if you know something, you don't need to believe it. You know it, and it is enough. To believe in what you know, you need perhap...
I would have thought beliefs don't need verification. When beliefs are verified beyond doubt, they qualify as knowledge, at which case no longer belie...
These questions cannot yield answers based on reason. They are out of scope for human reason to come to conclusions due to lack of evidence and verifi...
Differences are the basis for each individual's existence. If there is no difference then there is no individuality. But for essence, you need common ...
