This person watched a documentary and come to a moral stance so you say "it's not achtually their belief".

So any beliefs you pick up from your surroundings actually belong to the surroundings by your estimation.

Strange way to announce you have no beliefs of your own, but assure you it doesn't apply to everyone.


The backhanded comment really wasn't necessary here. All I did was point out that a financial transaction needed to take place between an individual and a large corporation who push their own version of moral reality.

To me that is THE experience of one's moral values shifting to match the narrative producer BY paying for it.

Imagine if you needed to pay someone everytime you needed to FEEL informed rather than actually being informed.


What's with your backhanded comments lol

People have been getting informed through documentaries for decades. People have been getting informed through books for millennia. People have been sharing experiences through discussion before recorded history.

People share knowledge through countless mediums and that's how we learn and grow. Saying this is dystopian is goofy and makes no sense. Chill out, lad.

This sounds like some freshman "free thinker" stuff.

Your thoughts aren't anything original. Everything you think is a result of the input you've accepted. One day you'll grow up and cringe about this goofy hill you've chosen to die on. Or you'll continue aging and mock people for being "stupid enough" to read books and not getting in touch with their chakras.

Besides, why should I let my opinion be swayed by an internet comment? A rational thinker knows internet comments from non-Netflix stock holders are of lower value than documentaries when it comes to being informed. :)


> Besides, why should I let my opinion be swayed by an internet comment?

Yikes, well I tried to avoid this type of emotionally charged ad hominem remarks, it seems you took great offence, as if my opinions caused you to perceive it as an attack on you personally and you were swayed by it

Well that is quite some hill to die on, have at it!


This is so weird dude. The simple ask is that you write a sentence that is distinguishable from the freshman "free-thinker" type, and your response is "absolutely not" lol.


"Hill to die on" would imply some effective attacks targeting said hill...

So far all you've done is dig.


Do we all come to the truth about fissile material by tickling the dragon ourselves?


If you want to emphasize specific words, you can place asterisks around around them to italicize them.
