an_onanist@lemmy.worldOPto Memes@lemmy.ml•Downvoting posts that commit logical fallacies.1·1 month agoNo assumption was made on the accuracy of the argument only on the validity of the argument,therefore no fallacy was committed,. On the other hand you committed the Hasty generalization fallacy by assuming OP’s intent.
an_onanist@lemmy.worldto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•From your standards, are abusive people or those who cause trauma/discrimination “evil”?2·2 months agoIt is not about acknowledgement, it’s about understanding the morality of the action. Most of the time, only they know the answer to that question.
an_onanist@lemmy.worldto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•From your standards, are abusive people or those who cause trauma/discrimination “evil”?8·2 months agoIn my opinion, in order for an action to be evil, the actor must know what is good or what is right behavior. While sometimes the actor acts with intent to cause harm, sometimes, the actor is ignorant of such things.
It wasn’t the Democratic voters that were the issue, they were never going to vote for Trump. Worst case scenario, they stay home. It was the independents and left-leaning Republicans that needed to be converted. There are a lot more of them, and they were frustrated by the southern border, the culture was and inflation.

an_onanist@lemmy.worldOPto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•How do you differentiate between knowledge and belief?11·9 months agoNo I’m not. I am not interested in academic study. I am interested in real world application. I am aware of justified true belief and that most people don’t apply it. My curiosity is in how people acnually think about the concept.

an_onanist@lemmy.worldOPto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•How do you differentiate between knowledge and belief?2·9 months agoYour description makes belief sound like willful ignorance.
It sounds like the real challenge is knowing when you have enough information to convert your educated guess into full-blown knowledge

an_onanist@lemmy.worldOPto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•How do you differentiate between knowledge and belief?3·9 months agoWhat if you should have some doubt (belief) but due to ignorance or hubris do not and so you elevate a concept to ‘knowledge’ that should not rightfully be there? I’m not trying to be argumentative, I’m genuinely curious about that gray area of misplaced confidence.
an_onanist@lemmy.worldOPto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•How do you differentiate between knowledge and belief?2·9 months agoSo, if we haven’t studied the underlying axioms or foundation of a conclusion, we cannot have knowledge of it? That seems to imply the only things we have knowledge of are the things we have invested significant time and energy into. It’s that correct?
an_onanist@lemmy.worldOPto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•How do you differentiate between knowledge and belief?2·9 months agoIf so much is contextual, is there no knowledge based on truth or fact?
an_onanist@lemmy.worldOPto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•How do you differentiate between knowledge and belief?1·9 months agoSo the stronger the feeling of identifying with a concept, the stronger the belief that it is true?

What if she wasn’t from Pitcairn? No big deal other than her credibility comes into question.
What if Gengis Kahn did not exist? Nothing lost, we already doubt our historical record.
What if Jesus did not exist? Suddenly the largest religion’s foundation is gone.
What if God doesn’t exist? Many people lose their reason for existing…
That which has enormous impact should require proof of truthfulness.

an_onanist@lemmy.worldto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•what has worked for you to stop getting angry thinking about people who hurt you?452·1 year agoThere is an old fable that tells of two Asian monks walking down a dirt road and they came to a stream. At the stream there is an imperious woman of noble birth waiting impatiently for her carriage to be freed frob the muddy bank so that she can continue on her journey. She turns to the the monks and shouts at them to carry her across the stream. The younger monk freezes in uncertainty because their vows forbid them to touch a woman. The older monk approaches the woman and offers to carry her on his back. The entire trip across the stream she is shouting orders and complaining about his efforts. When they reach the other side she turns from him, ignoring him completely and turns her attention to continuing on her way. The older monk continues on his journey and the younger monk follows. They are silent for hours, the younger monk becomes more and more enraged at their treatment by the noble woman. Finally, he says to his companion, “Aren’t you angry at that woman because of her treatment of you when you carried her across the stream?” The older monk replies without breaking his stride, “I put her down hours ago.”
You’ve assumed the OP is downvoting because of the wrongness of the argument rather than the lack of validity.
