  • I have not once argued anything in any direction. I asked you to point me in the direction of what I couldn't find, because what I could find contradicts you.

    If you don't want to support your claim jog on and try to start a fight with someone else.

  • The plural of anecdote is not data. From what I found the ratings on other sites were citing the same things, which is why I asked if you had something substantial considering your point of view.

    Stop being such a combative child if you want to communicate with others. I was asking you for information I couldn't find, not arguing with you. Take a breathe outside bud.

  • consider my flat-earthers example: the trustworthiness of the source(s) is at least as important. If I told you my pseudo is ‘Libb’ you can bet that it is indeed so, even if that just me saying it. And that would remain true if, out of nowhere, 100s of people started telling you my pseudo was in reality ‘Mickey’ or ‘Gertrude’. I would still be Libb. Conclusion? All by myself, against that hypotheticla large crowd, I’m still a more reliable source of info concerning my identity.

    The trustworthiness is absolutely important, and just as important to me, as quantity. The point I was making is it seems that a lot of people in the thread have been underrating the importance of quantity and over rating the importance of source quality. Even the most reputable sources can be wrong, especially in frontier sciences, which leads to a lot of retractions and rewrites.

    Using your example, you could be lying.

    No, and I’m almost wishing to see it. Almost.

    It isn't worth hunting down, but worth a watch if you stumble across it. haha

    I must admit the rise of flat earth theory came as a shock to me. I always have had a sweet spot for absurd theories but I could not imagine people taking those seriously. But maybe that’s just me being manipulated/lobotomized by the government? As a matter of fact, I’m also a pro-vax and that may explain a lot :p

    It came as a shock to me as well. I enjoy reading about the absurd ideas people have in their heads, and I get why people believe in them. It makes sense to them, and they rely on nothing but personal observation and limited knowledge to form beliefs. They were failed as children in my opinion.

    I too got my microchips and am possibly being manipulated by the government. Which one? Who knows. Monies on the US. lol

  • A better example of what I mean by unconsciousness is general anesthesia. That doesn’t feel like anything. One moment you’re lying in the operating room counting backwards, and the next you’re in the recovery room. There’s no sense of time passing, no dreams, nothing in between - it’s just a gap.

    I am not disagreeing. I am providing you something that demonstrates the premise you built your idea on is false.

  • It is itself extremely biased, you believed an authority that isn’t neutral.

    Their problem is that any news agency in the middle east is automatically “untrustworthy” with quotes like “they haven’t been found to report false stories, but we still give them an untrustworthy rating”.

    I already gave you the examples, I said that they unfairly represent middle eastern news as untrustworthy. Or are you here to nitpick and “um ackthcshually”?

    You have provided 0 examples of a middle eastern news source that is unfairly ranked.

    Are you going to keep being combative and waste both of our time refusing to answer a simple good faith question?

  • I keep hearing "it isn't the quantity..." and I do not understand why it isn't seen as just as important as trustworthiness of source because even the best source needs a high amount of data to back up a claim.

    On the topic of flat earthers, did you ever see the video of the guy who tried to demonstrate the earth was flat and proved it was round? The look on his face was priceless. haha
