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...

I hold the similar view. I have my own ground for the belief. What is yours?
October 11, 2021 at 20:58
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...

It does not prove anything for now. But you see, they are contributing in forming the beliefs, not knowledge, but beliefs :)
October 11, 2021 at 20:18
There have been many reports of the similar content about Australia. NC is just one of the hundreds, and is the most conservative view from the rest.
October 11, 2021 at 19:58
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...
October 11, 2021 at 13:31
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...
October 03, 2021 at 15:33
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....
October 02, 2021 at 16:02
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...
October 02, 2021 at 09:05
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...
October 02, 2021 at 08:13
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...
October 02, 2021 at 05:28
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...
September 30, 2021 at 12:37
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...
September 30, 2021 at 10:24
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 ...
September 30, 2021 at 08:26
From quickly scanning your reply, I cannot see anything even remotely resembling like proper philosophical arguments. They are just futile denial afte...
September 30, 2021 at 07:58
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...
September 29, 2021 at 21:44
"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...
September 29, 2021 at 19:52
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...
September 29, 2021 at 19:42
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...
September 29, 2021 at 19:34
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...
September 28, 2021 at 16:44
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 ...

It is not that simple. There are different type of knowledge and belief.

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...

The prisoner doesn't know that he is shackled. He doesn't know what being free means. Maybe he doesn't even know that he is a prisoner.
September 24, 2021 at 17:07
What's your ground for believing in that? What are the causes for that loss?
September 24, 2021 at 16:58
Sure, it sounds perfect. Thank you for the great topic, inspiring OP and posts. :up:
