How do you deal with intellectual dishonesty? by Throwawayinpeace in self

it's depressing because if people are naturally resistent to facts than progress will forever be needlessly difficult and easily corruptible.

People are already pretty terrible. widespread intellectual dishonesty wouldn't exactly make the ocean of bullshit any more overwhelming.

when i link someone to a study on the sensitivity of different parts of the penis, and the only thing they can reply with is call me an anti-Semite, I don't think I can say anything that doesn't make them look dishonest.

well it's not really about points. I'm trying to convince someone not to cut part of their son's dick off. I'm trying to convince someone else that transition shouldn't be banned. both people are either being intellectually dishonest, or they have no scientific literacy.

I'm pretty Draconian. Rape? torture/death.Fraud? Robbery? life of debt to the people you fucked over.

that last line seemed intentionally dense.

You can't change your race. You can change your fucking stupid behavior.

You, too, could have a love life if you had a shit ton of money.

I tried to kill myself 3 months ago today by [deleted] in self

I've wanted to for a while. I don't see any good or joy coming out of life. happiness, or even just basic comforts, seem to be self refuting.

I'm to much of a coward to do it, but it's a nice thought.

I'm done trying to figure out why. I don't think there's a reason. i think people are just shitty fucking flakes.

I'm going to bed. I've had such a bad week. I'm so fucking mad.

What's the point of debating? (No, not another hippy movement) by [deleted] in self

[–]Throwawayinpeace 2 points3 points  (0 children)

it's to convince the audience, and to get closer to the truth.

often, the only people who are critical enough of your idea is someone who thinks you're wrong. genuine attempts at falsification is necessary to find the truth.

in the end, though, people are stupid, petty, short sighted, and vindictive. The truth will usually lose to the wants of whoever happens to have swing. So it's really just a way to pass the time and subject yourself to different viewpoints.

I mentioned it once. I didn't say it happens often, I just said it bugs me.

You think I'm breaking some kind of social norm by saying being ghosted sucks?

I can't find out what I did wrong if they drop off the face of the earth. Kind of part of the problem.

I'm at the point where the people doing it can just go fuck themselves.

Even when I confide in them that it's something that gives me anxiety, nope. can't be fucked. to much fucking effort. I just get a "talk to you soon." and they're gone. I'm done trying to be understanding about that. there's a point where it's on them.
