Or maybe... it doesn't.

Stop at the first half and you got it. The only thing that moves us forward to new discoveries is observation and testing, not assuming.

And this is where you exit the philosophical discussion... you're just that bad at it Smile

You have moved neither forward nor backward. All that has changed is your perception of where you are.

Quote:I love mass media, but the dark side of it is it also spreads bullshit.

There is no 'dark side' to mass media. At least... not as you're suggesting it Sleepy

See... I just told you a lie. Not that you'll get 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
