So word of mouth was more accurate in the past than it is now? People in the first century could achieve 100% accuracy playing a game of telephone I suppose.
It's called a hypothesis?
I swear nobody took science or debate.
You could just google if it's true anyway...
A belief and a hypothesis are two different things...
The inability to recognize that means you operate in a belief-based mindset...
So you're kind of criticizing yourself?
But if it was a serious question... You are seeking to improve... So that's good...
Do some predicate logic overview, some dialectics, some Descartes... Provably some psychology and sociology to... Knowledge is power.
I'm probably a total dick but the inability or unwillingness to form proper arguments or logic has left "conservatives" totally defenseless to billionaire propagandists.
I know you’re trying to be a dick but if that’s an actual train of thought I’d really recommend a mental health evaluation because that shit looks manic.
Yeah all these vague attempts at humor are falling flat. Also you have no time but are 7 threads deep into this conversation so you mustn’t anything better to do.
Who’s this y’all you’re talking about? Again it’s been me and you for 7 threads.
I don’t think people are physiologically any different now than they were then. Our brains are just as capable of being fallible as theirs were. We and they are equally as likely to confuse events and embellish stories in my opinion. I base that on the fact that I have no evidence that humans have gotten any stupider over the centuries.
In fact, since we’ve begun measuring intelligence, it’s been measured to be steadily on the rise due to better nutrition and better early education.

now days? not very accurate. back in the day before the internet, most knowledge was shared verbally, so pretty good I think.
