Logic allows for different reasonable conclusions from the same data, even if you personally consider it unlikely. This is what Plato and Socrates lacked when their listeners just sucked their dicks at every word -- they lacked anyone with thoroughness to say "No, there is another." "Even the higher-iq of us are at times capable of great retardation." -RONIN GREY (on humility, self-awareness, and growth). Yes, I quoted myself. I think I'll make myself a coffee mug with that quote on it.

@RoninGrey@merovingian.club Something being not true does not mean that it is false Something being not false does not mean that it is true Something can not be both false and not false at the same time when measured and or evaluated in the same way or with the same criteria Something can not be both true and not true at the same time when measured and or evaluated in the same way or with the same criteria Something can be logically falicious but still true The fallacy fallacy is very important to learn

@RoninGrey@merovingian.club Dude, the guy was a paranormal believer. Obviously he would in time gravitate towards divinity... especially at the late stage of his life when he starts searching for the meaning through the lense of belief. Every paranormal activity believer is a Christian waiting to convert. Because their minds rush to conclusions and skip the Occam's razor of obvious falacies to satisfy their personal romantic urges.

@RoninGrey@merovingian.club Be thankful he's not a godless SOB like Stephen King who is a liberal to the bone with Democracy as his divinity... that led to his Trump meltdown in 2016... even though his mindless idealistic fanaticism was obvious back in 1979 when he published "The Stand" with it's obvious world-building problems.
