If I'm wrong about you, then I'm wrong.

Seems like circular logic is your strong suit. 😛

But "If I'm wrong about you, then I'm wrong" isn't an example of 'circular logic', though is it? It's simply an admission that I could be wrong about you being a 15 year old kid and that it doesn't matter much if I am wrong.

If A, then A, is tautology at best.

Nope. It's simply an admission that I could be wrong and, if I am, then I don't really care. If anything, though, your reaction makes me think I might be right. You're sounding like the school debating club member I described. 😛

You sound like someone who could be wrong about quite a number of things. 😛

That I sound like such a person to you seemed to me to be firmly established months and months ago.

I notice you dodged or missed my question at the bottom of page 4. 🙂

It's an issue already raised and already addressed countless times. I have already told you exactly where I get my confidence in my beliefs and in my world view and in my perception and estimation of the human condition. I have told you repeatedly. If you have been unable to discern what my answer was or that I had answered it, or if you just plain can't remember (either asking about it or me answering), or if you are pretending that it wasn't discussed, or if you just deliberately ignored it at the time and now want me to repeat it (perhaps only to ignore it yet again), or if you didn't understand it when I told you, then so be it.

I asked you whether your confidence was based on evidence or the lack of evidence. It seems you are incapable of giving me a straight answer. It's either one or the other. So which is it?

I have addressed this issue countless times and you have simply ignored it. I can only conclude that this is an act you are deliberately putting on.

I asked you this question for the first time on page 4 of this thread. You have yet to give me a straight answer.

I have already told you numerous times exactly where I get my confidence in my beliefs, my world view, and my take on the human condition from, along with the role "evidence" plays in the formation and sustaining of my perceptions. And here you are - true to form - drearily asking about the same thing for the umpteenth time. Whether one of those umpteen times was on page 4 of this thread, or that thread, or the other thread, is of no interest to me.

This is the only thread that we have been discussing your 'confidence' in your beliefs being true. It is also the only thread in which I have asked you the question at the bottom of page 4. It still seems you lack the confidence to give me a straight answer.

Frame it how you want.

No need to answer if you don't want to, or just pretend you have, that's also fine.
