>I believe you are reasoning by analogy, classifying objects and phenomena according to superficial observation rather than empirical evidence. Wood, for example, does not contain fire simply because it is combustible, nor does it contain rock simply because it is heavy. Wood, like any complex organic form, is composed of thousands of different chemical compounds, none of which is fireHow do you respond without sounding mad?
>>218600580Hey Ice-Yeti shut the fuck up
>there's no fire in woodThen where does it come from?
>>218600647SHUT SHUT SHUT UP SHUT UP
>>218600580I don't.Someone speaks to me like that, I will throw a tantrum to the point of losing my dignity even below the state of the lowest, shit-encrusted animal. They would literally have to drag me away while I am incoherently screeching with foam at the mouth. Everybody would look either sad, shocked or painfully embarassed on my behalf or a combination of all three.
>>218600580I have a soul and you do not.
>according to superficial observation rather than empirical evidenceEmpirical evidence is literally superficial observation. This was a 115 IQ writer trying to seem smart
>>218600580How is saying something "contains fire" significantly different from saying something "is combustible" without the framework for in depth chemical analysis? When the tools for that don't exist and you don't have the scientific framework to get into the nature of elemental properties, it's essentially just a semantic argument to try and assign attributes to natural materials based on observable phenomena
>>218600842I think empirical in this instance refers to knowledge obtained through experimentation
>>218601002Any knowledge obtained through experimentation is knowledge gained (inductively) from superficial observation. Things are facts not because we understand them but because in 100 out of 100 cases, we superficially observed the same effect produced by the same cause, and decide to assume that in a billion out of a billion cases, the superficial observation will hold
>>218601116Dudes saying shit like this are always the dumbest fucks in the room who WILL try and convince you that the Earth is flat or something.
>>218601204>t. has never read a single page of philosophy
>>218600647phlogiston
>>218600580>none of which is fire>chemical componentI liked better meme with him about lost tribe from XXI century
>>218601204lol imagine continuing to believe retarded lies for no reason after you have the internethow many boosters you on cowboy
>>218601288>yeah I’ve read pages of philosophy. Almost all of them
>>218601343Things like this only happened in the past now you have to trust the science and we are allowed to be wrong every single time because the science changes, not like those ignorant idiots who snorted mummy powder.
>>218601288>read philosophy>"i figured it out! Fire is IN the wood!"
The secret is the fire is contained in the air
>>218600580Perhaps you are right friend, but if I am wrong what alternative did you suggest?Can you explain why electrons clump around protons as they do or why their compounds have such destinctive identities ??In the world of scicece we rate a theory by its explanatory value; not by its ability to poke holes in an opposing theory.
>>218600580If you're so clever, Data, why can't your sperg-brain process the simple metaphors and figures of speech that you hear every day?
Data made the teacher look like such a bitch in front of the kids, honestly their whole society is doomed
>>218600580I hit his off switch.
