Exactly my point. You revealed nothing new to me that I didn’t already know.

It should tell you something. But the exact same reason why you feel the way you do is the exact same reason why you wouldn’t learn anything from this. I hope you can introspect, but I have every reason to suspect that you won’t.

If you say so. By the way, I’d avoid using the JTB model as your baseline model for knowledge. It’s a bit outdated at this point.

Good argument. I’m dismissing this generally friendly online argument. Have a good night.

Debating on Reddit is pointless. There’s no stakes here. You’re going to think you’re right no matter what argument I give. When’s the last time you were convinced to change your mind on a topic by a debate on Reddit? How many times has that happened in all your debates? I learned to stop wasting my time a long time ago.

I don’t know what your original argument was. If you think it’s proven, then it’s proven. Good work.

Why? Reddit isn’t a bastion of intellect. It’s closer to a YouTube comment section than an academic setting. I do my persuading in papers and conferences, not with randoms on the internet. You’re free to think whatever you want.

Right and wrong are just concepts we choose to employ. It’s especially telling that we don’t even agree on them.
We cannot understand Hitler or Stalin any more than they can understand us. Judging them is something that is foolish because we presume that we know enough to judge. I suspect that I’ll even have a foolish person respond to me saying something along the lines of how we know for a fact that they were objectively wrong or evil for whatever reason. That person will have my sympathies, but not my understanding.

I doubt it. Cheers.
