Communication involves two sides Outrider. One is conveying an idea. The other is the understanding of it.
I could be trite and point out that the burden in an attempt to communicate is on the communicator, but the problem we have here isn't that we don't understand what you're saying, it's that we have a higher threshold for accepting claims than you do. Which is to say, we have a threshold.
BTW...I am not forcing any of you to read or respond to my posts. You feel threatened every time I link something about a scientist saying something different from what you think.....and you go into a frenzy.
And again with the attempted ad hominems. No-one is afraid your woo - we might be afraid of what happens if a considerable number of people start to accept such a low threshold for accepting claims, so we do the world a favour and try to highlight some basic standards of academic rigour. No-one is in a frenzy, we're composing logical, coherent, targetted rebuttals to your woo that you continue to fail to address. Just like here where, instead of having an argument and making it, you attempt to denigrate your opposition in the hope that it will appear like you've made a point because you don't appear to have the capacity to actually make a point.
As they have said in the above link....it will take another generation to open up to new ideas.
These aren't new ideas. Souls, afterlives, magic interconnectedness.... these are not new ideas.
You guys cannot do it.
We can. We won't on the basis of what you've provided, which is basically nothing more than a claim in search of supporting evidence and a sense that you somehow know more that the combined wisdom of all of conventional science because, umm.... hang on....
But I am not going to stop writing what I think...as long as they are within board rules.
And you have that right. I'm simply pointing out that unless you start to improve your reasoning you're going to continue to get the same sort of responses. If you continue to peddle woo, people are going to continue to point out that you're peddling woo.
You guys are so taken in by your own beliefs that you seem to forget that this is not a science board... It is a R&E board with sections on philosophy and others.
You are making claims about the real world, about supposedly testable phenomena. You are suggesting that the conventional science is invalid, but you have no basis for your claims. It's not just that you don't have scientific evidence, it's not that your claims are not material, it's that you have nothing. You have the Emperor's New Clothes of arguments, but you're surrounded by people pointing out that your naked and you continue to wander around the public sphere waving your woo in the face of anyone that happens to wander by.
We aren't taken by our own beliefs, we're waiting for you to put a jacket on your claims so it can go out in public.
O.
