@XXSpadeMasterXX,
Quote:We have talked about that video before..
That was the first time I remember watching that video but I have seen many similar.
Quote:I have a couple of questions for you.
What ever happen to keeping it simple? I see more than a couple of question marks.
Quote:If you view things like Sam Harris does, and you think that people should challenge what they know.....Or believe...What do you think you do to challenge what you think you know or think you believe?
I have read some of the works of Plato and one of them named "Socrates Apology" helped me to see how it is normal for everyone to talk about things that they do not know as if they understood them.
This led me to think that I do the same thing at times so rather than being closed minded or thinking that I know things with certainty, I remind myself that part of what I think is correct, "is actually incorrect.
Quote:You have said we all get reality wrong at times...Do you think you could be wrong at times?
I would not have used the word "WE" if I was not including myself.
Quote:Please explain how you think you may be incorrect? How you know you are incorrect? And what you do when you think or know you are incorrect about something? And I mean a specific about the last one...Please explain to me how you get rid of working models, and replace it...If that is what you think you do...
We all have a working model of reality and we continue to build this model and revise it all the time, sometimes the new information is helpful and sometimes it is just further misleading.
I personally try and listen to as many different positions as I can on any given subject and try to find evidence to support all the claims being made. At the same time I try to remind myself of biases that I may hold.
