“I’m a individual who questions everything, researching myself everything that doesn’t resonate within my soul.”
You believe in a soul, or are you talking poetically?
“My freedom to choose which doesn’t give anyone the right to dispute my truth.”
Oh, sweetie. My freedom to question your truth is not only a basic right, it’s inevitable. Where, exactly, did you learn to ‘research’, for one?Many who claim to research merely seek confirmation bias and then stop.
“It’s just your opinion.”
You would suggest that I do not have a right to my opinion?
In my opinion, that makes you a fuck-knuckle.
“It’s my truth and not your truth.”
It’s your cherished opinion, not necessarily a truth.
“Everyone has an opinion just like everyone has an a**h***.”
And like an asshole, no one knows what yours is like until you air it.
"But even without a deep dive into the science, the chemtrail theory has glaring logical problems. Two of them are falsifiability and parsimony.”
Ah. And what is the logical problem of falsifiability?
And it that a problem of LOGIC? Or one of definition?
“People who subscribe to the conspiracy theory consider anyone who confirms it to be a brave whistleblower and anyone who denies it to be foolish, evil or paid off. Therefore, no amount of information could even hypothetically disprove it for true believers.”
You’re using people who believe conspiracy theories as your rubric for evidence? Do you expect to be taken seriously, then?
“This denial makes the theory nonfalsifiable, meaning it’s impossible to disprove.”
No, not even slightly. It makes the conspiracist impossible to convince. But that’s just his opinion, not actual falsifiability.
“ By contrast, good theories are not false, but they must also be constructed in such a way that if they were false, evidence could show that.”
The very first law of motion was that objects in motion eventually came to rest. That was a good theory based on everything that had been observed, but it was false. Or, it was incomplete. Knowing about friction allowed us to write a better law of motion.
“Nonfalsifiable theories are inherently suspect because they exist in a closed loop of self-confirmation.”
They’re suspect because they’re not actually science.
“Like most conspiracy theories,”
Back to the conspiracy theorists?
“Don’t believe me?”
Frankly, no.
“DO YOU RESEARCH and discover your own truth.”
Okay. One of MY truths is the burden of proof. I’m not doing your homework for you.
“Freedom of choice, choose wisely.”
Unlike Pikachu, I do not choose you.
