My point was that our beliefs influence our actions - it's psychology - we can't help it. If I construct a 'belief' that "people suck", then I'm bound to prove that true one way or another. You are free to believe what you like, though I personally would not like walking through life so confident that my fellow-mankind all "suck". For me personally, that construct would lend itself only toward my contribution to the inevitable reality I had so adamantly professed already existed.(October 14, 2013 at 10:11 pm)freedomfromfallacy Wrote: This is a dangerous construct.

Meh, your opinion is not nearly enough for me to take into consideration, nor will I reconsider a position when no effort was made to explain or validate why said position is a "dangerous construct."
