Do you choose to be ignorant of absolute facts in order to maintain belief in alternative facts?

  • I accept alternative facts over absolute facts.

Let's get real for a moment, a thought experiment is not empirical evidence.
Let's get real. The thought experiment is for those who can think for themselves. For those unable to do so, they can contest my findings directly with the source by conducting the thought experiment in real life. Which one are you?

I thought about it, and it is a bogus experiment.

Why do I hear the old Twilight Zone Theme Music while reading your website @TDselector

The stuff about Super Bowls is certainly "top drawer" research.... *giggles*

Curious, how were you able to think without first making a selection to do so? You failed the experiment which makes your contradictory opinions bogus.

Aristotle help us again. . . .

"It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it." - Aristotle

I have this crazy ability called an imagination, perhaps you were born without one. I am so sorry, as it must be sad to live without an imagination.

Folks, I have been where you are now. It took me years to come to terms with the findings and so I do not expect others to be able to handled the truth that we understands the Nature of our reality as backwards which in turn has allowed us to believe in alternative facts such as GOD or ambiguous empirical evidence. Been there, done that.

There are no findings, and this is not science. It is just some random person making stuff up, which makes this religion.

Although I love the hypocrisy in: "Science does not prove absolutes; I will now use science to prove an absolute."

How about a non-crap site, you know something academic.
How about your "non-crap" reality. Is Nature telling us the truth or not? You have the means to find out for sure, so why are you avoiding it? Actions speak louder than words.

Interesting...

I went to the Belarus National Academy of Sciences http://nasb.gov.by/eng/index.php and used the search function for the title of the article listed in your link, and the author Manuel Morales, and some key wording out of the article...and low and behold, they don't have anything related to this...all searches come back with nothing found...or for a couple of them, random words out the title, such as "the" which appears in hundreds of pages...

However, when you go to temptdestiny.com, you find all these links and the author describing an ongoing art experiment...

So, an art experiment to point out that science is incomplete and can make errors, based on a rather silly and rather old philosophical argument about whether or not God exists...

After reading the pdf article, I'm struck by how unprofessional it is, how it does not site any relevant literature on its topics...in fact, it rather much reads as a word salad (in fact, in many places, the pdf article and the website are word-for-word), and I'm not surprised to find that the named journal did not in fact publish this article.

Correction, I did not used current methods used in science. This is how I was able to obtain "unambiguous" empirical evidence and why your very own existence can indeed confirm the findings. A hypocrite refuses to contest them in order to argue (selection) what they are not entitled to argue about.

Where I come from, son, we call that shooting yourself in the foot. Nice work. This strong atheist isn't particularly impressed with your so-called findings.

There is no such thing as an "alternative fact". Facts are facts. Facts are objective. It doesn't matter what you believe, it only matters what is objectively true.

yeah...citing the same source, different page, is not convincing for anyone who disagrees with you/it...
You are not entitled to have an opinion about the mechanics involved that enable you to have an opinion to begin with. When we use ignorance of this fact, we then can fool ourselves into accepting alternative facts as facts. And so it is up to each and everyone of us to either conduct the Final Selection Thought Experiment in real life to support our beliefs or not continue to delude ourselves.

Son, I will believe anything that you or anyone else has to say after they put their money (life) where their mouth is by conducting the thought experiment in real life and continue their "God" given existence. Until then, you are making excuses for using willful ignorance as a substitute for the facts you fail to contest.

When we are ignorant of facts, we then use alternative facts to substitute for facts. This is human nature, not nature.
