[quote]Intuition is not by any means, a bad thing. Intuition is a starting point for an idea. It's the foundation of science. All science is built off of intuition to a degree. To disregard intuition as an argumentative tactic is to disregard both Science and logic.[/quote]
And yet science perpetuates circular appeals to authority, and creates an entomological structure whereby repeated observation becomes enshrined as fact. But observations can be mistaken, especially abstract ones. Tomorrow my intuitive observations may lead me to different conclusions about the world. But until I jump and the world moves beneath me, the world is not a round spinning ball. I very much like your argument. It is the sort of argument I wish more people would make, instead of throwing "cuz gravity" in my face. If this is indeed to be our last argument, I would like to say that you have been a worthy opponent, one the (flat) world needs more of.

While it conflicts with your own intuition, it doesn't fit with the intuition of others. Your intuition only holds weight for you, and nobody else. If I was told something contradictory to my own intuition, I wouldn't accept it until it had been explained simply and thoroughly. [quote] I very much like your argument.
