No one should ever expect to change someone's mind in a single conversation. Beliefs are held like a rock, and a conversation is a drop of water among many others that can lead to the erosion of a belief over time.
@XeoNe0n@MaxQHellcat Repeat this a few hundred times, and it's going to result in overall less skilled and experienced pilots being hired across the board, thus lowering the standard for pilots. Passing the exam is just the LOWEST bar to entry for the profession. It doesnt make all candidates equal
@XeoNe0n@MaxQHellcat So lets say there are 2 pilots, 1 black and the other asian, where the asian pilot has more experience and skill as a pilot, but they both pass the exam.
If i want to employ more black people, i would then chose to hire the black guy over the asian guy
@KnosGoes@patriach2051 Becauss its literally built on volentary exchange. I have something you value, whether is a product, service, or just labor, and you are willing to pay me in exchange for it, then i am providing for "you" (a stranger) and helping you solve your problem. Kinda basic econ
@nosignalerror@patriach2051 It doesnt though? Not only does my personal experience in living this way prove me right, but hundreds of years of empirical economic data on free markets does too
@ayojoestar It actually is pretty useful for learning new hobbies and developing new skills if you actually know how to use it. Like, insanely useful actually
@XeoNe0n@MaxQHellcat Is every person who passes the minimum threshold for the exam equally qualified? Like, every single person passing is no worse or no better at the job than any other person who passed in your view?
@Benjami08297331@SilentSnow89 This is like saying "why did the crips fight the bloods if they were both gang members"
Just because two different totalitarian governments decide to impliment a socialist command economy doesn't make them allies
@SilentSnow89 They used the government to control economic production. Thats not a free market economy, its a command economy which is WAAAY more like socialism than any other style of economic system. "Socialism" isn't just in the name, it defined hitlers econ policies.
@mc_sein@ExuSianxqut@MartinusLogicus@ISignumI Also the positive claim that "god is unknowable" is a specific type of agnosticism. Can you guess what its called? Strong agnosticicsm.
Would you look at that, we just stumbled into another case where "strong" is used to describe a subset belief. Welcome to epistemology
@mc_sein@ExuSianxqut@MartinusLogicus@ISignumI No? I agree its gibberish. You are just repeating the same non-sequitor that the existence of one kind gnostic therefore implies "agnostic gnostics". No it doesn't. If the marker of being a gnostic means you are "knowing" of god, that implies agnostic gnostics cant exist.
@mc_sein@ExuSianxqut@MartinusLogicus@ISignumI Shoes also are not capeable of not believing anymore than "the alphabet" is capeable of being "not orange"
Its a category error. You can't apply things that require a mind thats capeable of belief to objects which lack a mind.
@mc_sein@ExuSianxqut@MartinusLogicus@ISignumI Yes? I believe all kinds of things that might not be true. Like i believe that after i die i return to nothingness, but i have no way to KNOW if thats TRUE.
To contrast, i simultainiously KNOW and BELIEVE that 1 + 1 = 2.
@mc_sein@ExuSianxqut@MartinusLogicus@ISignumI I don't blelieve in hemeopathy either because of the lack of evidence to support it.
But since you think thats a positive claim, where's your evidence that homeopathy doesn't work? Note that lack of evidence isn't evidence itself
@mc_sein@ExuSianxqut@MartinusLogicus@ISignumI Do you believe in leperchauns? If you answer no, i hope you have proof that leperchauns don't exist in order to support the positive claim you are appearently making about leperchauns.
@Chomusuke0916@fuckyouiquit The goapost was how many people are starving from lack of access to food from the beginning...
I already did look up the info, which is how i know youre wrong. Virtually no one is starving due to being unable to access food, otherwise u would have linked that data intsead
