Not read this nor will I but I think about things and do not read peoples opinions that are no more or less valid than mine.
You just think people are wrong if they do not agree with you,a bit like Donald Trump |

Perspective is everything, especially when it comes to examining your beliefs. Are you a soldier, prone to defending your viewpoint at all costs -- or a scout, spurred by curiosity? Julia Galef examines the motivations behind these two mindsets and how they shape the way we interpret information, interweaved with a compelling history lesson from 19th-century France. When your steadfast opinions are tested, Galef asks: "What do you most yearn for? Do you yearn to defend your own beliefs or do you yearn to see the world as clearly as you possibly can?" |

Not all opinions are valid.
For example, my opinion of what causes a black hole to lose mass, is less valid than Professor Brian Cox's opinion on the subject. |

It was a good talk.
It's not about being right or wrong. It's about seeking truth whether you like what you find or not. |

Black holes are not provable, only theoretical.
So you have a knowledge based opinion (Brian Cox), and a much much less knowledge based opinion (me).
Same applies to politics and anything. Some opinions are more valid than others. |

It will be 16 year olds too, before you even know it. Remember that almost the entire country lost its shit and were adamant that the 15 year old who went to Syria was old enough to understand the consequences of her actions. |

Good point.
So why aren't 16 year olds allowed to vote? |

Okay, I'll answer you properly.
Brian Cox was my example for someone with a more valid opinion on black holes losing mass. His theories are not provable as we're unable to replicate the required scenarios.
If we could prove it, we'd move this from "opinion" to "fact".
So if your confusion over the basic premise of this simple example, leaves you bored and, like Capt Lobster, gives me less credibility in eyes. So be it. You haven't offered a counter argument, you've just made weak insults. |
