They're unable to hold or consider multiple variables at once.Or worse, they're unable to string together logic and end up relying on assumptions that makes a big reach from A to B.
i can operate on high levels of abstraction but my thinking is so erratic and unorganized i seem like a retard
>>85844437>i can operate on high levels of abstraction*I
when people are being retarded i find it difficult to accept that it isn't on some level conscious and voluntarygod i wish i was smarter. i can't bear imagining how actually intelligent people think of me and of what i say
>>85844478>i can't bear imagining how actually intelligent people think of me and of what i say*I
>>85844427>make a thoughtful, well-reasoned argument>the person I was trying to help proceeds to strawman and then insult me
>>85844589Communication is hard, isn't it? You have to Trojan horse your way into a person's trust by using the right words and avoiding their triggers, and then walk with them one step at a time to your point.
>>85844599It's never worth it, I need to stop wasting my timeIf they don't get it already fuck them is the attitude I need to force myself to adopt
>>85844478Actually intelligent people don't give a fuck
>>85844606Jesus says to love your enemies and pray for them.
>>85844427>some peopleI think 80% of the people around me are retarded. Most I see are idiots who took decisions without thinking about the risks and downsides, only to then complain about the consequences. >oh shit the bank wants money from me againShouldn't have bought shit you can't afford...>oh shit, i hate my jobWhy don't you quit? Oh yea, because you owe money to the bank because you bought shit you don't need and can't afford.>oh shit, my wife is annoying and won't give sex anymoreShouldn't have married, not difficult.Like 80% of normies are a variation on this stuff. Just constant bitching about problems they have only themselves to blame for. Because they were too stupid to have foresight and restraint.
for me its talking to people who cant think in systems. for example if you tell them making x change on a road statistically leads to more of a certain type of accident they will accuse you of saying people are poor drivers who cant think for themselves etc. everything got to be dragged down to the individual level at all times
>>85844427Sounds like you lost some argument and came here to cry about it.
>this guy is making 90% of all posts on here, isnt that weird? and theyre all largely about the same thing,and just simple headlines. dont you think thats problematic?what are you saying people cant think for themselves? we have freedom of speech and free will and people can decide for themselves if they what they want to click on. is this how poorly you think of your fellow man?they cannot go upstream from this
>>85844427agree. you could state a universal fact like evolution exists and some retard out there will somehow fucking deny it. I've seen some people deny CARBON DATING before. actually shocking
>>85844585let's call it a stylistic choice
>>85844824This is stale bait, you need to freshen things up once in a while.
>>85845504>on some level conscious and voluntary*stern gaze* o_o
I can use logic to prove god exists. My logic is the bible says so. I got an A+ on my philosophy paper.
>>85845629That is an appeal to an authority, which is a logical fallacy because even if your conclusion is correct, the authority itself has no logical merits beyond what they themselves present, and so the good faith way to argue an authority's point is to make it your own point rather than the authority's.I can prove logic to prove God exists. My logic is He says so.
>>85845522Evolution and carbon dating can both exist within a creationist worldview if you also believe that time is relative
>>85845650Whats your basis for knowledge? Sounds like you can't really know anything. I know god is real because the bible says so and thats what gives knowledge. Saying the bible is an authority is like saying an appeal to truth is an appeal to authority.
>>85845650God invented logic so using logic is an appeal to authority
>>85845659Western philosophy says that you can only prove that you exist to yourself. Eastern philosophy says nothing exists, not even yourself, but if nothing exists, a way to prove that does not exist. Therefore, according to both traditions, it is true that whether you exist is unprovable, therefore I do not need to explain the basis of my knowledge to what could be a figment of my imagination. That's right, I'm taking the most annoying philosophical position imaginable: solipsism.
>>85845710Sounds like you don't know what is provable at all and I do. Sounds like you no foundation for anything at all. I know what truth is and you say people think many things I can't know anything. I agree YOU can't anything. In your view whatever someone said in the past and was preserved in a tradition was true or whatever you feel like today is true. Meanwhile. God told me what is true in the bible and it is true because it is there. People like you say knowledge might as well be a figment of your imagination. I agree. You don't know anything.
>>85845733I just made you say all that using my imagination. Bet you're feeling pretty foolish now.
>>85845761Even your imagination thinks youre retarded
>>85845789How predictable. :^)
>>85844427i think the problem is a lot of people don't spend any time thinkingthey just come to a conclusion immediately and then refuse to change it
>>85845874I don't have time to think. I've got scrolling to do.
