It should be obvious that reality doesn't really care about what we like. If I may quote myself: <br /><br /><i>I'd rather know the truth than believe a falsity, even if the truth is not something I might particularly enjoy. Not everyone shares this sentiment. Some think that if what they believe is incorrect, yet it gives them a "better life" than the alternative worldviews, then they'd rather live in the lie. Perhaps this is their way of ignoring the responsibility of thinking critically about their views. Perhaps they enjoy the comfort of their paradigms and don't feel like doing any epistemic remodeling. Maybe they're afraid that, if they look, they'll find that reality isn't as nice as they think. "Don't look under the bed or you might see a monster." Or maybe not looking helps them maintain confidence in their preferred worldview.</i><br /><br />[http://dead-logic.blogspot.com/2009/11/satans-advocate.html]Budhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09030735640759238747noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3977563705277552446.post-48626348192708075542009-11-29T05:06:25.449-08:002009-11-29T05:06:25.449-08:00Just want to say that I enjoy your videos on YouTu...Just want to say that I enjoy your videos on YouTube and that they've given me plenty of food for thought.<br /><br />LuisLuis Cayetanohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05210714337197709016noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3977563705277552446.post-89697109663493014632009-10-14T02:54:38.208-07:002009-10-14T02:54:38.208-07:00I really enjoyed this video Peter.
