EDIT-- Mods, please spare yourselves the tumultuous reading as we slowly put together the mesh of this challenge. We’ll summarize at end.
I have spent my life in near utter contempt for the metaphysics crowd and the flunkies whom seem to want to lash back by attacking the whole of science as a sham and the knowledge of humanity as impossible. Of course, through epistemology, they get all that endless power to justify it just like nihilists so effortlessly justify humping your farm cow.
But now . . . I begin to regret some of my contempt. And feel the once so reliable (and often depressing) world around me shattering. I’m a lost little boy in a sea of bizarre claims. Perhaps a person to challenge me will reaffirm that I wasn’t so stupid after all. Or maybe it will be as far-fetched as I had thought, and that I’m right. If I am right, we’ll know in 4 years. That’s pretty messed up.
So whether I am trying to be a magician, that doesn’t hold water to the “miracle” of his own tricks, or whether I really seriously do believe this crazy shit, I want to see if you can tear me down.
Be afraid. In this episode of the Twilight Zone . . .
I WILL MAKE YOU BELIEVE!!
But I won’t pick the challenger this time. I want someone with the guts to step up to the plate.
After I find my challenger, we can chisel out the rules. This is also due to the fact that I’m sure moderators won’t let me take another challenge until a lot more have gone through.
Prepare your refutations well, and work hard at expecting my claims. Because with this one I intend on burying you in the dust!
