 thisnamecantbetaken says: This is a powerful question to ask yourself when examining your beliefs. Doing so honestly, will make you a clearer and deeper thinker. It can be the difference between a person who simply revels in wishful thinking, and a heroic seeker of truth. Take a deep look into your own belief systems, and ask yourself what evidence it would take to convince you they were wrong. It's an uncomfortable exercise, but an important one. Most excellent clip as always TN. Excellent, indeed!  It does make a person stop and think. To protect my image, great clip! Now let me be blunt. It was completely wrong and scandalously insensitive of you to make us squirm. Can you admit that? Or am I going to have to call you stupid ? It's entirely up to you, now are you going to force me against my will...? By the way, I may or may not make a sensible comment at a later date, but only if I can find a way to overcome my firm believe that sensible comments are only a way of making oneself needlessly vulnerable to the ubiquitous critics waiting to take advantage. Launching a preemptive 'You're a..." at you but eagerly awaiting your sweet response, Thanks! Here in County Kerry, Ireland, they call pride "going up the ladder". Now, going "up the ladder" causes the locals to "bring you down the ladder". It's not recommended... Great clip! So one answer so far. It would take the locals to change ones mind. Maybe the local...but not the locals, so pog mo thoin. Irish Gaelic (Gaeilge) for "kiss my ass"That surely will change no minds, but might make you disrespected! It fact it certainly will. Excellent article. I wonder if the question could also be asked in reverse: What would it take, (what evidence, reasons, etc.), for me to agree with the other person? Sometimes when a person doesn't agree with us, we think they just don't "see" things from our point of view. And that if they only understood what we are saying, then they'd come around. But oft times I understand perfectly well what the other person is saying, I just don't agree with it. So determining what it would take for "me" to agree with "them" forces me outside of my own paradigms. I'm searching in another path of communication, in other words, more congruent with "theirs." Hypnotists and shrinks call it "pacing". Perhaps there is great merit to this. but might make you disrespected To protect my imageI know this is off the wall, No harm intended, But WTF? At what point did you think anything any of us does or says is going to matter in the end? If an asteroid or a comet were to hit this little planet does anyone think they will be spared because they look good or have respect? I believe the whole pretense of respect and image is shallow and distracting from the true meaning of life. The true meaning of life; Getting drunk, getting laid and driving really fast cars. Live in the moment and be true to yourself Back on clipsubject: Nice clip TNCBT I have had my beliefs changed by clipmarks before and it will happen again. I grow from the new options presented to me even when they oppose my own fundamentals. Its why I like the comments so much. I don't care about the pops - My life is much fuller from the comments. Everyone goes thru periods of insecurity but reading the comments and trying to see others points of view often opens doors to new thinking that makes my life richer. If all clipmarks is to you is a popularity contest you have missed a great wisdom you can seldomly find elsewhere in life. I have had my beliefs changed by clipmarks before and it will happen again. My life is much fuller from the comments.Right on, brother Skwirl. I am much smarter from hanging out here. What evidence would it take to convince me my beliefs are wrong? The answer is that when it comes to beliefs, which are not merely questions of fact, there is no way to have a clue in advance as to what it would take to convince me that my beliefs were wrong. Ironically even if I do change my beliefs, I am not more certain that I am right at the new point than I was at the previous point. It is the integrity of the process, not the specifics of the belief that I can have any real control over. My attitude and belief is that I am potentially wrong about anything and everything, including such 'obviously true things' such as I live on a planet called Earth. Certainly I assign levels of pro... I was wrong once. And then what happened? *LOL* click on the link if you wanna be in heaven TN.  I made it into a pretty good imitation of Hell on Lucky Logger beer and Jim Beam. I don't drink anymore. Almost killed myself, but I learned. No credit to me by the way. One can't really take credit for pounding ones head into the wall enough times to have finally figured out that it isn't working out. "The true meaning of life; Getting drunk, getting laid and driving really fast cars. Live in the moment and be true to yourself". What he said The truth. I know this is off the wall, No harm intended, But WTF? At what point did you think anything any of us does or says is going to matter in the end? If an asteroid or a comet were to hit this little planet does anyone think they will be spared because they look good or have respect? I believe the whole pretense of respect and image is shallow and distracting from the true meaning of life. The true meaning of life; Getting drunk, getting laid and driving really fast cars. Live in the moment and be true to yourself There is a littlse truth in this, mixed in with false assumption and internal contadiction, combined with a philososophical shrug of the shoulders that leaves a lot ... LOL, Swampfoxz! LOL, yanceducat! Smile The true meaning of life; Getting drunk, getting laid and driving really fast cars. Live in the moment and be true to yourselfDalai Lama? Is that you? You didn't think I'd recognize you, did you? It's cool... Keep my anonimity please LOL, I just realized the implications of my last comment! That's okay, it's cool. I thought just yesterday or the day before (time flies) that the Dalai Lama is 72 years old and he has a right to lose his cool at this stage*. *(On seeing the news report that he is showing more anger at the Tibet situation. But maybe I was wrong about that, people getting killed in protests) Wouldn't that be fantastic? To see the Dalai Lama go stark raving mad; just completely lose his cool right in public. Cursing, pounding on things, throwing things, yelling! Rupturing the inner calm! What a thought....Hmmm If I have a belief and I get new information that suggests that it is wrong, I can change my belief. If you base your belief on facts then you should not have any trouble. Unless your talking religon which is just faith. Either you have it or not, you have to be open to beleive in something that you can't see. I could say there is no proof of God, but if you want to believe, there is nothing I can say to change that. but if you want to believe, there is nothing I can say to change that.Hits the nail on the head. |
