It always seems like the people that live the longest are the quietest and live the most boring lives. There's gotta be a regressive correlation with longevity and living an interesting life. The longest living celebrity I can think of is Dick Clark and he never did shit -

2021-02-27 at 2:11 AM UTCTrue. And butthurt atheist drones who are empty inside because daddy tasted like a hectometer and mommy was a toolshed.. total bro begrudged scuttlebutt.
Atheists mock religious people for being retards because they're so empty they hate anyone with a religion that gives them fulfillment
Yeah, there are of course Bible belt inbred boones farm Christians who are complete chucklefucks that deserve to be mocked for their idiocy.. always exceptions to everything
And me being a relatively intelligent person on certain subjects and believing in urantia makes alot of atheists ivevknown self combust -

Originally posted by Meikai Speaking of deliberately low IQ takes… what makes a belief "justified"? According to scientific thought, it is empirical evidence. You will note, of course, that "a study purporting to contain the observations of others" is not "empirical evidence" - it is, if it is to be believed, secondhand. Unless you repeat an experiment, your belief in the results of an experiment someone else has performed cannot be said to be "justified" within an empirical context.
And by "true belief", do you mean "belief based in truth" or the "unwavering faith of a true believer"? If the former, "truth" must first be known to claim your belief is based in it. You can see how defining knowledge as "belief based in knowledge of what is true" is somewhat tautological, yes? If the latter, it has no place in a discussion of knowledge: if something is known, faith (unwavering or otherwise) is not required.
Tut tut. Your plebeian takes bore me.

What do you think counts as "empirical evidence"? -

That represents a garbage understanding of quantum physics.
If you're still in a state of superposition, your wavefunction would still evolve and the branches of the wavefunction where you are alive would diminish to virtually nothing. When observed, you would be observed dead. -

Like i believe in God and that jesus is his son, our savior. But in urantia theres many levels of universal dieties all with different positions and available powers... alien life.. many different fundamental realities all based on an expanding machine of frequency thats been buildinf ypon itself and becoming more elaborate over eons to build form integrate sentient beings into a corporeal universe as the shell body but as earth and ohr current reality is a very low tier existence theres always room for advancement, see?
Some tweaker showed me and told me all about urantia when we was high as fuck on ice... i havent read that much of it but i put on urantia audiobooks a few time a day -

It was a good faith interrogation of what you consider the epistemic "justifications" for knowledge and a request for clarification of what you meant by "true belief", not a "semantic argument".
Yes, it was a plebeian take. Plebe. -
2021-02-27 at 9:43 AM UTCFor the record, "empirical evidence" is firsthand experience - one's own observations. It is what underpins the scientific method, and why the scientific method focuses on repeatability. Someone merely writing down their empirical discoveries does not give the reader any empirical evidence to support whatever conclusion they might draw as to the veracity of what they've just read.
"Secondhand empirical evidence" doesn't exist - it subverts the very concept of empiricism. The Bible's Revelation is "secondhand empirical evidence" - so much words on paper, expressing the observations someone else has allegedly made. You know this. You know this, yet you refuse to accept it is also true of your religion. -

Yes yours was a plebian take because it's irrelevant what the definition of justified or true is, because the subject was you nitpicking the word "belief" as if it is always equivalent to religious faith, which it isn't.
You are trying to equate not having personally surveyed a subject but believing it's experts as being equivalent to religious faith. Which is a pleb reply because it was literally already done on and satirized by Always Sunny like 12 years ago.
So yes you are a pleb. You had no response once your stupid little argument got destroyed and now you're throwing a fit. Sit down and shut up. -

Empiricism doesn't stop at the lab. Tell me, do you understand electrical engineering?
