Po: Everything on this website is a po.

I know it is true because I read it on the Internet. 

Surely you know that web pages can lie? There's no way to know that something is true just because it says so on a web page. You can't believe it is true just because some one can write it.

But everything you read in a book is true, right?

Re: Po: Everything on this website is a po.

Hey, Anon, you can't believe what is says in just any book. But if the book says "this is the truth" then of course that must be true so therefore the whole book must be true.

Re: Po: Everything on this website is a po.

You can only believe a book if someone says it's true.

Re: Po: Everything on this website is a po.

You can't belive just anybody. You can only beleief someone who is sincere and authorative.

Re: Po: Everything on this website is a po.

Gullible, ever tried a spell checker?

How do you know the diffeence between someone who is "sincere and authorative" and someone who is just good at appearing ot be  "sincere and authorative."... Don't actors get tauht how to be sincere when they play a fictious character?   Isn't the main skill of lawyer to appear to be "sincere and authorative" -- and sincerely believe whatever position he is being paid to sincerely believe?

 

Re: Po: Everything on this website is a po.

So how do you tell if something is true or not?

Re: Po: Everything on this website is a po.

Isn't that the whole point? The only weapon you have to determine what is true is your own brain. If you believe something just because it's in a web page or book, or some apparent sincere and/or authoritative person tells you, you are just being Gullible! You have no better way - and no other way - than to try to figure out what is true based on what you know and your own thinking, taking everything that's on this website, on any website, or book or the words of anyone, as a po.
