Attack or retreat?
#39
RE: Attack or retreat?
@Rhizo: As my friends say... "DAMN THAT QUESTION!" Tongue

Anyway... i don't understand what you mean by 'Existentialism facade' or its being a smokescreen to anything. My 'strong bias' towards certain beliefs comes from me having concluded that something most likely could not happen (or from the fact that it absolutely could not have happened in some way, unless the understanding of such is incorrect).

In example, I have | | | | and | all in a row. If I look further along, and I see another | ... why should I rejustify believing/disbelieving in what appears to be a point I have repeatedly considered?

With anything I have already considered... I am open to change. But I am only open to this change when I can see my justification were false... and my current position is justifiably incorrect because of the new data presented. In other words, I believe what I conclude... and reopen the idea when new data appears. If you see me have any amount of apparent 'bias' toward anything: it is because I have already considered the issue at length... or it is because it is my gut reaction.

However, as bias is a preconceived opinion not based on reason... any bias you have seen my have toward anything must disbecome bias: for my opinion was neither preconceived... nor lacking its justifications. My opinion was formed by thinking about the issue... and I justified it (however wrongly) before I believed it.

So what are you so upset by, fr0d0? Smile I'm here and I'm 'playing', and I've no fear of your teeth Tongue
Please give me a home where cloud buffalo roam
Where the dear and the strangers can play
Where sometimes is heard a discouraging word
But the skies are not stormy all day
