On what basis do you form such an opinion, if not by observation?

No, I have rejected most of what you write about opinion as that. Big
difference.

Again, I have never claimed this.

I see you understood the point of The Selfish Gene as well as you
understand the English language in general. Which is to say, not much.

What are you babbling about?

What utter nonsense.
>And yes asshole, it is a logical fallacy to assert that accuracy, truth, is dependent on how many people say it is true
Which I have also never said. What I DID say is that you can't claim
that "subjectivity is inherently a Creationist concept" when, in fact,
it is not: it is the weird opinion of one Creationist.
>Even for a statement that is not true, like to say the earth is flat, it does not make it untrue because few people say it is so
I absolutely agree. The evidence indicates that the Earth is an oblate
spheroid, regardless of how many people say it's flat. But you're
making a blanket claim here that "subjectivity is inherently a
Creationist concept". That's simply false on every possible level,
including the fact that Creationists other than you would wonder what
the hell you're even talking about.
>It does not make it a personal opinion to say the earth is flat, just because one or a few people say so. What a stupid fucking moron you are. Total piece of shit.
>
>But there is a sort of copyright issue with words
What a bizarre claim.
>People use words like creationism, subjectivity, objectivity, choosing, and so on, and basically they own those words, with the meaning they attach to it. So I cannot attach a different meaning to those words. If I have a different meaning, then I should coin a new word, because I don't own that word
The reason that you can't use your own meanings for words is that it
makes it impossible for other people to figure out what you're trying
to say, Humpty-Dumpty.
>Some evolutionist philosopher Dennett, he says that choosing essentially has the logic of being forced.
Quote please.
> That is wrong, it is illegetimate redefenition of a word. Although Dennett does correctly make argument that his definition is the same as the definition that is in common use.
That's what people do when they want other people to understand what
they're saying. Have you considered trying it? It might save you an
enormous amount of frustration.
> He correctly tries to legitemize his definition, in respect to common discourse. He asserts that when people say they might have chosen differently, they say that they would have chosen differently, if conditions were different.
Yes, and your problem with this is what? If I want to get a gallon of
milk from the supermarket down the block, my decision on whether or
not to take an umbrella will depend on the weather at the time.
>So that different conditions, make for a different result of a choice, which means choosing has the logic of being forced by the conditions.
Taking external factors into account is not a synomym for being
forced. A prudent person would take the weather into account when
leaving the house, and if it's raining, would most likely choose to
take an umbrella with them. Putting a gun to their head and ordering
them to take an umbrella with them would fall under "being forced".
> And he is right that people do many times argue like that. But if you look at the logic used in common discourse, it is shown that the barebone logic used with choosing is always to make one of alternative futures the present.
And as I have pointed out many times, that's nonsense. If I decide to
visit Ireland this August, I have not made that the present: it is
still in the future.
>My definitions are all in line with common discourse.
No, they most certainly are not. Most of them are unique to you. You
just gave an example directly above.
> Including my use of creationism, it is in line with the literal use of the word creator and creation.
In what way?
> So I am not the only one, because you yourself for instance, you also use the logic of making one of alternative futures the present, when you say to make a choice.
Again, no. I gave a counter-example above, and it is trivial to find
more.
>There is a dinstinction between the logic people use in practise with a word, and what people say the definition of a word is, if you ask them.
According to whom? You?
> Often these are not the same, but the definition must be the same as in practise. My definitions are the same as in practise, logically consistent
Whether they are logically consistent or not is difficult to
ascertain, since using your own definitions for them makes it
difficult to figure out what it is you actually mean.
>It is just the truth that people say like, either Trump or Clinton becomes president, then there are elections, which is referred to as a choice, and then Trump became president. Meaning that the logic used in practise with the word choose, is to make one of alternative futures the present.
That example illustrates the opposite of what you're claiming. The
2016 election was held on the first Tuesday in November of that year.
Trump became President on January 20th, 2017. That isn't "making an
alternative future the present": the outcome of the choice was still
in the future foir over two months.
