:lol: Hilarious. Can't answer a simple question of whether or not you believe the vaccines work.

Are you saying this as a hypothetical or do you actually believe that the vaccines don't work?

Bear in mind that antivaxers died for their views, in many cases. That’s commitment, or perhaps paranoia. I recall Desmet mentioning paranoia, don’t y...

I watched 20 minutes of the video and what struck me is that ‘mass formation’ was occurring in the pandemic with antivaxers and the like, people who l...

I think we can safely assume INTJ.

So the Carl Jung’s and Isabel Briggs Myers’ typology test. I’ll bet your results end with a J.

Yes, Banno is cool. :cool:

I did have oatmeal & blueberries, with green tea, paired with a few angry words about belief and believing.

Having read your post to Banno, you appear to have a wildly different conception of belief than I do.

I suppose the point is that a construct can be seen as a construct and be accepted and entertained provisionally for pragmatic reasons; no believing n...

I'll probably have oatmeal and blueberries for breakfast, with green tea.

The website doesn't say where the grapes are from, which isn't a good sign.

That bad??

Should you choose Cocobon, the roasted oak red blend is best paired with a mushroom and sausage risotto or finely aged cheeses and meats. :yum:

A red blend of Merlot, Zinfandel and Petite Sirah grapes. Nooice!

:chin:

Any chance that could be translated into English? :snicker:

I'm currently about 2 glasses into cheap sauvignon blanc half-rationality.

A minority of two, at least.

Folks here definitely think a lot. They probably intuit too. I for one am introverted. As for being judgy, heh, yeah, oh yeah.

Weren't we just talking about pro-lifers getting abortions? I suspect the inverse also occurs, pro-choicers not getting an abortion because it feels i...

I afraid this doesn't pan out, simply because we can 'hold something to be true' despite evidence, despite reason, and despite our own propensity to a...

Or perhaps they never had a tendency to act according to their "beliefs".

How exactly did they change it? I was thinking of what Isaac said in relation to the location of lost keys and how one could have an equal propensity ...

Hmm, maybe we should switch to people beliefs and try to come up with a real-life scenario where a person has an equal propensity to act in contradict...

Maybe I can help provide a real-world scenario, if I'm following you correctly. A plant has the propensity to bend towards the sun. With mirrors, or s...

Perhaps you're misconstruing what was said. Can you give an example? In my example, there is one set of keys and three places that are imagined they c...

Take the 2020 American presidential election, for instance. Trump was a leader and an authority figure who made a claim that his supporters 'felt sure...

Have I claimed otherwise? What I find most problematic with belief is its meaning as described in the etymology: "be persuaded of the truth of" (a doc...

The etymology appears neck deep in theology. Perhaps like God, the term is dead.

There's no reason to be surprised, and many reasons not to be.

@"Banno" Having lost my keys, I can imagine them being in three different locations without feeling sure about them actually being in any of the diffe...

You're not being clear. Also, I revised the post a couple of times.

Fixed. They could be in various places. I can entertain thoughts of where they might be. I can't feel sure or certain about every place that I imagine...

I still don't understand how that can be the case, and for some reason when I ask about this you do not answer. I can't believe (feel sure) that my ke...

Simply that things, like the location of keys, can be accepted and entertained without feeling sure about them. We can also feel certain about the loc...

The keys could be in many places that you could think of, all of which would be reasonable places for them to be. You can't feel sure that they are in...

You're saying that all reasonable unknowns can be believed (accepted as true; feel sure of the truth of) provisionally. If I've forgotten where my key...

Say that I forgot where my keys are. There are many many reasonable places where they could be. According to you, I must have confidence (beleive) tha...

That means that we are forced to hold all reasonable unknowns to be true. That we are forced to feel confident in them. That doesn't make sense. If yo...

Indeed, and I think Janus described it most succinctly.

Maybe, I don’t get out much. I say stuff like, “A man’s gotta do what a man’s gotta do.” It’s a handy catch-all justifier.

And you know that how?

It's relevant because shared belief is the heart of the OP and the reason we're discussing this. Is it a matter of belief or was he simply misremember...

Jane asks, "Where are the keys?" Bob replies, "The keys are in my pocket." "Are you sure? Please check." Bob probes his pockets and says, "Huh, I must...

Rather cliché but I once had a slice of Boston Cream Pie in Boston.

Undermine the powers that be.

I got the VID a couple of weeks ago, and after having received the Fauci Ouchie + booster. Was like a mild flu.
