  • If "thinking for oneself" means completely ignoring evidence and logic, then I'd be glad to not think for myself. Lucky for me, that's not what "thinking for oneself" means.

  • [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] jyrine [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Disambiguation [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] jyrine So you suggest we except that fact and everything else in the multiverse as we know it now and make no attempt to refine our understanding of life? [/quote] Yes, I am suggesting that you [b]accept a fact[/b].[/quote] Define fact. It was a fact for thousands of years the earth was flat, the sun went around the earth, and that the earth was the center of the universe. [/quote] Those were not facts, they were just widely believed because nobody could prove it one way or the other. .999... = 1 is a proven fact, not something that people believe just because they think it makes sense.
