I wouldn't say you've asserted only one thing, I just haven't cared to correct any of your other assertions. I care, which is why I try to steer the silly upon the banana road to happiness.
Quote:The rest of what I've said has been my explanation that I choose to operate with the assumption that humans are able to perceive objective reality, and I that I live my life accordingly.
In other words, you spent the rest of your posts *debating*. Gotta love it.
Quote:Is it possible that I'm wrong on that assumption? Of course. But I'd rather spend my time thinking about and analyzing other things. If what I perceive is not reality, but only my own subjective interpretation of it, then fine. It's the only reality I've got, and I'm going to live as if it were, in fact, objective.
Well, I'd rather spend my time playing video games than giving two shits about reality, but unfortunately: video games aren't everything.
No... there are also books
YOLO! (What the fuck is objectivity? Seems like a pretty hilarious way to live to me)Quote:I didn't say that I'm not interested in debates, so I'll politely decline your demand that I never again assert anything. What I did say was that I wasn't interested in that particular debate.
"As I said, I'm not really interested in such debates.", you branded every single philosophical debate under that, which is primarily the type of debate you'll find here...
Pluralization's a bitch, ain't it?
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
