Alan W
​@Xah Lee topic: to what extent can people *choose* what they believe in? Can you choose to believe, or just live on the assumptions that something is true?

Alan W
​there is no need to *believe* in Integers, but you can assume integers, reason about them, etc

Alan W
​and see how your model of them maps to reality

BartholomewJS
​@Alan W It is impossible to choose to believe anything, because you can only believe in something if you really find it making sense. If it does not make sense to you, you are unable to believe it.

Alan W
​@BartholomewJS that's basically how I understand it; though I think one could choose to "live their life with the assumption that XYZ exists" or something similar

BartholomewJS
​@Alan W This is an issue since ever with religion. That's why atheists for example don't "choose" to not believe, they just can't believe such non-sense.

Alan W
​in this sense, is the Pascal wager basically leading you to *act as if God exists*? I am not sure how to understand what "believe" means there as a matter of choice

BartholomewJS
​@Alan W One can only assume if they believe in the assumption, which again, must make sense.

BartholomewJS
​@Alan W Pascal's Wager is one of the most extremely overrated sh** on earth. Pascal's Wager is pretty much brainless.

Alan W
​no I think you can assume even if you don't belieive; like you can assume Google is deleting your data when you ask them too, even if you really believe they aren't haha

Hello beautiful people!
​Hello beautiful people!

BartholomewJS
​@Alan W Because it creates a false dichotomy by putting 2 things side-by-side as if they were black and white, while they are both extremely grey.

​Wait the scream already started?

BartholomewJS
​YouTube almost never starts the scream properly...

Nabi Yang
​well alan, you can be like paul erdos and do both! though to be fair, his drug use wasn't recreational

BartholomewJS
​@Xah Lee Every form of knowledge roots in philosophy.

BartholomewJS
​@Xah Lee If culture is based on philosphy, then Japanese philosophy must be much superior to Western philosophy. So why do you prefer idiotic Western philosophy over Japanese?

Alan W
​prograhaming

BartholomewJS
​@Alan W Prograhamer = "special" Programmer

Alan W
