I think today, that I’ll try noting what the content of OPs, OCs, and replies, and my intended support or objection is, before I type there.\u00a0 This way, I’ll be less likely to miss logging it here.<\/p>\n
Yesterday, I rebutted a counter-argument<\/a> given in attempt to support Homeopathy<\/a>, by refuting one of the “principles” of that pseudo-science<\/a>.\u00a0 In that rebuttal, I suggested that the apologist learn Chemistry.\u00a0 This morning, I claims to have done so, so I reviewed the refuting characteristics of water.<\/p>\n Yesterday, I explained<\/a> why “Slippery Slope” arguments are fallacious.\u00a0 There were replies, but I did not need to give any follow-up.<\/p>\n Also, yesterday, I engaged<\/a> with an apparent ally, trying to correct his misuse of a word. This morning, I had to provide more evidence and challenge.<\/p>\n New territories opened up, starting with this ill-formed (and ill-informed) hypothetical<\/a>. At first, I accepted his hypothetical, instead of rejecting it, as some others did, but pointed out problems that prevent resolution of it. Later, I find the poster misinterpreting some rebuttals, and another one posting support containing sophistry.<\/p>\n Following some discussion of Urdu<\/a>, one respondent gave his pantheistic view. I rebutted, one by pointing out a possible Fallacy of Composition, and by a counter-argument. He later gave a fallacious attempt at an argument by analogy, but his first premise was false, and even if it were true, the argument should fail for insufficient similarity.<\/p>\n To a post of a short video about stellar nucleosynthesis by Neil DeGrasse Tyson, some one tried to claim credit<\/a> for a bronze-age concept of a god for this, and to claim that the scientific findings were included in the books with the “revelations” from that god. I refuted that claim, as well as his subsidiary claim that we educated people dismiss the knowledge held by ancient peoples.<\/p>\n Yesterday, I rebutted and refuted some nonsense bullshit<\/a>, and today, I reviewed and edited it, correcting an adjective to an adverb, and deleting a doubled section.<\/p>\n Shortly before going to bed, I checked Facebook, and found I had been tagged. It was in some question occasioned by a poorly composed conspiracy<\/a> hoax<\/a> by Daniel Sepulveda<\/a> in an attempt to attack the Theory of Evolution. I will rebut every point I can in that foolish screed.<\/p>\n Views: 173<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I think today, that I’ll try noting what the content of OPs, OCs, and replies, and my intended support or objection is, before I type there.\u00a0 This way, I’ll be less likely to miss logging…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-126","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-philosophy"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/voland0.xyz\/weblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/126","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/voland0.xyz\/weblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/voland0.xyz\/weblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/voland0.xyz\/weblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/voland0.xyz\/weblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=126"}],"version-history":[{"count":8,"href":"https:\/\/voland0.xyz\/weblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/126\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":141,"href":"https:\/\/voland0.xyz\/weblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/126\/revisions\/141"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/voland0.xyz\/weblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=126"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/voland0.xyz\/weblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=126"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/voland0.xyz\/weblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=126"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
