[11:22:42] The Midget – Miao: Who the fuck is Isstsidwmnh?
\n[11:23:09] The Midget – Miao: [05:52:19] Isstsidwmnh: We have no capacity to falsify the existence of reality. That does not mean we throw away reality. In fact\u2026 that means we embrace it!
\n[05:52:32] Isstsidwmnh: If something is too obviously true, then my only criticism is that it will get boring too soon.
\n[05:57:04] Isstsidwmnh: But, anyway, all this seems to be scientific values projected onto what can be acceptable described as a non-scientific work.
\n[11:23:12] The Midget – Miao: WTF.
\n[11:23:35] Emil – Deleet: its I said stupid things so i dont want my name here
\n[11:23:37] Emil – Deleet: -guy
\n[11:24:11] The Midget – Miao: At least he knows he said stupid things
\n[11:24:17] The Midget – Miao: I stopped reading after that part
\n[11:24:22] Emil – Deleet: dont do that
\n[11:24:30] Emil – Deleet: u need to stop stopping reading too early
\n[11:24:45] The Midget – Miao: You are very patient with him!
\n[11:25:15] Emil – Deleet: im a very patient person
\n[11:25:16] Emil – Deleet: err
\n[11:26:02] The Midget – Miao: In that conversation you actually sounded very nurturing and patient
\n[11:26:15] The Midget – Miao: which is quite different from my impression of you
\n[11:28:17] Emil – Deleet: im a guiding light for lesser minds
\n[11:28:39] Emil – Deleet: if i had zero tolerance like u, then they wudnt develop at all
\n[11:28:49] The Midget – Miao: Yes, but you are also very selective of who you talk to
\nYou don’t talk to ALL stupid people who happen to cross your path
\n[11:28:56] Emil – Deleet: ofc not
\n[11:28:58] Emil – Deleet: waste of time
\n[11:29:05 | Edited 11:29:09] The Midget – Miao: Yes, so what are the selection requirements?
\n[11:29:11] Emil – Deleet: it isnt even high iq
\n[11:29:12] Emil – Deleet: :P
\n[11:29:26] Emil – Deleet: those two filosofy students that i know, they arent high
\n[11:29:47] Emil – Deleet: but they show tremendous progress
\n[11:29:53] The Midget – Miao: Yup, what I meant was:
\nWhy are you more kind towards a Freud supporter than a Christian (for example)
\n[11:29:54] Emil – Deleet: what they needed was guidance
\n[11:30:09] Emil – Deleet: and a bit of open mindedness and willingness to read a lot of stuff
\n[11:30:17] The Midget – Miao: Hm.
\n[11:30:21] Emil – Deleet: xtians are usually hopeless
\n[11:30:21] The Midget – Miao: Fair enough
\n[11:30:28] Emil – Deleet: freudian supporters not always
\n[11:30:49] Emil – Deleet: the freudian complex (HAH!) is more easy to get rid off
\n[11:31:23] Emil – Deleet: in terms of web of belief, its becus it doesnt integrate so well with the persons other beliefs
\n[11:31:45] Emil – Deleet: hence, easier to reject – becus it requires a smaller number of changes to beliefs and their connections
\n[11:32:07] Emil – Deleet: a smaller overhaul of the web of belief, to say it in a more figurative way
\n[11:32:20] The Midget – Miao: Understandable. If you look at philosophers of religion like Platinga and an Inwagen you’d realise that their arguments are often very convoluted
\n[11:32:37] The Midget – Miao: because their religious beliefs are very inconsistent with what they know
\n[11:33:03] The Midget – Miao: So they come up with a lot of very twisted arguments to try to weave a coherent whole
\n[11:33:26] Emil – Deleet: i think Plantingas modal ontological argument is rather easy to deal with – it ‘only’ requires some understanding of equivocation, alethic (S5) modal logic !
\n[11:33:42] Emil – Deleet: thats little compared to some other arguments.
\n[11:33:54] Emil – Deleet: say, arguments from design require a lot of biology, cosmology etc. to deal with
\n[11:34:26] The Midget – Miao: I forgot the exact contents of his modal ontological argument
