Matt’s position is always consistent. Truth doesn’t need mental gymnastics. The religious can only throw out poetic quotes from famous people and appeal to ignorance and deception to be convincing. Matt doesn’t need to jump through hoops because if his opinion on something is proven wrong, he will accept and adjust his opinion towards the truth. Matt will always win because he only has to remain honest. And he does.

[@conscientiamngo]

Christopher Hitchens (1949-2011) was a British-American author, journalist, and public intellectual. He was known for his outspoken and often controversial views on politics, religion, and social issues. Regarding abortion, Christopher Hitchens was not pro-life. He was a vocal supporter of reproductive rights and access to abortion. He believed that: 1. _Women have the right to control their bodies_: Hitchens argued that women should have autonomy over their reproductive choices, free from government or religious interference. 2. _Abortion is a necessary option_: He saw abortion as a necessary option for women in cases of unwanted pregnancy, rape, or health risks. 3. _Religious opposition is misguided_: Hitchens criticized religious groups for imposing their beliefs on others, arguing that moral decisions should be based on reason and individual conscience. Hitchens' views on abortion were shaped by his commitment to: 1. _Secular humanism_: He believed in a secular, humanist approach to ethics and morality. 2. _Feminist principles_: Hitchens supported feminist causes and recognized the importance of reproductive rights for women's equality. 3. _Critique of religious dogma_: He was a vocal critic of religious fundamentalism and its influence on public policy. Throughout his writing and public appearances, Hitchens consistently expressed his support for reproductive rights and access to abortion, making it clear that he was not pro-life.

In D’Souza’s star analogy, he later snuck in the knowledge of the universe. If we have knowledge of a universe, then yes we can infer there are more stars. But in his actual analogy where we know NOTHING else about what’s out there, the most rational position is to believe there are only 7 stars until more evidence arises.

[@mikedonoghues4018]

Correct. We see seven stars. We may not have sight of all stars. There may be more stars. That’s logical. We see no god. We can’t see all realities - including supernatural. There may be a god. That’s logical too. But seeing zero gods isn’t a good reason to reason there is/are gods beyond our sight. That would be like “I see seven stars and no space dragons, but I can’t see everything. So I think there may be more stars and space dragons.”

Dillahunty is describing the epistemological position of fallibilism. This is the philosophical concept that all truth is provisional based on evidence, so when the fallibilist says something is "true," they mean it is "evidently true" and not above challenge to new evidence. This is an answer to skepticism, which says that knowledge is impossible due to our subjective access to reality. I just see a lot of people who call themselves skeptics are, in fact, fallibilists. A true skeptic would claim all knowledge is impossible

[@Censeo]

So should the "sceptic magazine" be called the the "fallabalist view" because philosophy has set the meaning of lingo in all other domains of language?

I guess the philosophers could just ask you what the words mean and save a lot of unnecessary inc.

Knowledge isn't impossible, 100% knowledge is. We can still draw our own, subjective view of knowledge from what we perceived around us. When we make a claim, sure, we could be wrong. However, if we have enough evidence, we can claim that we have said knowlege beyond reasonable doubt. I have knowlege that my shirt is red. This assertion is based off my subjective experience of the world. I have experienced all this color, and how the English language categorizes it.

[@NicholasLaDieu]

@@Dutch_Vander_Linde_ you have described the fallibilist epistemological position "Fallibilism is the epistemological thesis that no belief (theory, view, thesis, and so on) can ever be rationally supported or justified in a conclusive way. Always, there remains a possible doubt as to the truth of the belief." So perhaps I did not describe it well enough> I was simply pointing out that many people that are fallibilists incorrectly classify themselves as skeptics. A skeptic would take the position that knowledge was impossible (technically speaking, i don't believe it's lay usage is this way)

[@NicholasLaDieu]

@@Censeo no I was just giving an, hopefully interesting, and admittedly pretentious factoid The context in which words are used must be considered, and obviously people use the word skeptic in alignment with Fallabalist in everyday usage. Just thought it was a "fun fact" So in summary I am fine with skeptics continuing to call themselves skeptics :) It might be interesting to learn some new vocabulary for some

[@Dutch_Vander_Linde_]

@@NicholasLaDieu Philosophical Skepticism | Oxford Languages: "relating to the theory that *certain* knowledge is impossible." "CERTAIN knowledge is impossible." Its all just wordplay and semantics here. You have a definition of skepticism that doesn't align with what it actually means. Skepticism isn't that knowledge is impossible, but rather that 100% knowledge is impossible. Under the philosophical definition of skepticism, I am still a skeptic.

You say that with someone who was studying to be a pastor on the stage. People absolutely can have their irrational beliefs changed. I used to believe in god. Most athiests used to believe in god. I know it can be hard to see people with irrational views spew BS, but most of us have held irrational views in the past. It is exposure to rationality that helps change minds.

​@@josephritchhart998 completely agree.

Sometimes the assumption is that something will continue to be the same forever and you need evidence that it wont. Parsing evidential belief is so dificult to hear because it is mostly just grasping at a common lexicon. "the river isn't going to stop" is true enough to live your life by, but it isn't true. It IS a probablity game. And marriage is too. It being 50/50 makes sense to me, if it were 5% i dont know if i'd have done it!

I asked AI a question. If you had a chance to run the human race to better mankind, what would be the first order of business? If I were tasked with improving the human race, my first order of business would be to prioritize education and critical thinking. By ensuring that everyone has access to high-quality education, people could make more informed decisions, understand complex issues, and be better equipped to solve global challenges like climate change, inequality, and health crises. An emphasis on critical thinking would also reduce the spread of misinformation, foster empathy, and encourage collaboration, all of which are essential for a more just and sustainable world. Education is a powerful tool for empowering individuals and, by extension, society as a whole. Amazing, AI for Global President.
