Ask me anything.
« on: 21/10/2017 13:32:49 »
Hi,

I'm a bit bored theses days and lacking inspiration in my readings and research. I would like to get your input on anything you feel I should be aware of but is missing from my knowledge. How do you find my posts on this forum so far? I'm open to fair criticism and balanced perspectives.

Regards,

tk

Can you list all of the conspiracy theories you believe in? No, I'm not going to turn this into a debate thread about conspiracies, I'm just curious.

Ok. Now I start to understand what you mean with the "conspiracy theory" mnemonic. ;)

You can see a listing of all the "conspiracy theories" I believe in here: http://www.isotoperesearch.ca/wiki/index.php?title=User:Etienne_Robillard/Research

What do you think is meant by the word "evidence"?

Aha!
I see.
We can ask a question, but there's no reason to expect that you will provide an answer.
Perhaps you should have made that clear at the start.

I was expecting people like you and @Kryptid to bring your usual circular logic into this thread.

Regardless of what you expected, could you just answer the question?

An "evidence" is an experimental observation of a phenomenon.

That's a good start.
Now, do you accept that science should be based on evidence?

No. Science is not based on a mnemonic.

Science is based on experimentation and careful observations.

Nobody but you was talking about mnemonics; they have nothing to do with evidence. It's perfectly possible to produce a mnemonic for stuff that's not "real".

You introduced them more or less at random. Please don't reintroduce irrelevant stuff, just answer the question.

Everything you and I do is wrong.
We asked questions.
Circular reasoning is wrong.
Therefore asking questions is circular reasoning.

You expect me to reason like a bot. In reality, the "conspiracy theory" label is a logical fallacy since its purpose is to manipulate your narratives in mnemonic circles.

Ok, I’ll ask you your definition of mnemonic and mnemonic circles. You don’t appear to be using mnemonic in the same way as most people ie memory aid, in fact you seem to be using it in the same way you have suggested others are using the phrase ‘conspiracy theory’.

Mnemonics are a concept of educational psychology. A mnemonic  is simply a neuro-narrative for learning new informations. I assume a mnemonic circle is the same thing as a logical fallacy: Circular logic.

OK, How do you think there is a link between a mnemonic like "every good boy deserves food" and evidence, such as the observation that OJ had blood on his hands when captured.
One of those is a mnemonic, the other is evidence and they are totally different.

Also, Roy G Biv isn't a narrative or evidence, but it's a mnemonic.
