| Topic | C/D: If you can't explain why someone else is wrong, then you're wrong. |
| foolm0r0n 01/03/18 3:27:12 PM #13: | Human arguments/perception have exactly 0 influence on actual reality. But it's also the case that all we know of reality is filtered through human perception, so for "wrong" or "right" to be useful concepts, they need to take human perception into account. In that sense, what is "right" is only what we humans can perceive and be convinced is right. For example "electrons have a negative charge", "gravity is a wave", "the earth is round", are all dependent on approximations that humans invented to talk about reality (math, physics, etc). If you can't explain what "negative charge" or "wave" or "round" means, then you might very well be wrong when saying those supposedly true statements. --- _foolmo_ 2 + 2 = 4 ...
