Don't know who said this, yet it seems to be true...

@DeWayfarer Probably a really crazy person 😅

@Kwek00 Yeah right, see Descartes and fairies.

@DeWayfarer Did Descartes ever succesfully proven that faeries are real?
I'm also not sure? But was that Descartes? Wasn't that Sir Arthur Conan Doyle?

@DeWayfarer
Well, I just don't understand what point you are trying to make.
But the idea that if you attempt to prove something, that you shall succeed... is pretty problematic. So I don't really see how I need to understand that part of your post.

@Kwek00 Just about everyone now days has a proof of their favorite pet theory. No matter what the theory is. The point is they have succeeded within their own minds.

@DeWayfarer So they actually didn't succeeded? But they believe in their own bullshit? Because... I agree with people believing in bullshit, but that's not the same as proving something. They just think they proved something. That last part (in my opinion) is also potentially dangerous and super problematic.

@Kwek00 Not to them! "They" are always right!

@DeWayfarer Okay, I think our main disagreement is a semantic one between actually proving something (as in objectively proving someone) and being delusional and think you have proven something 😅
I'm not sure if that is it... but if that is it, then we are almost on the same page (because I would never use the word "proof" in that fashion, or at least try to keep away from it)
