Blablabla
If there one thing I've noticed over the years, is that you get the same types of morons on either side of the argument
The over rationalizing bunch is no better than the superstitious bunch, they're as bigoted
You can't draw conclusions until you have all the elements to do so, and you're starting with the premise that he won't succeed, twice... While this is still yet to prove...
Maybe he's full of shit, maybe not...
over rationalizing
Nailed it
A relative of mine is an "over-rationalizer"
Everything bad has to be an accident, everything has to be attributed to "nobody's fault", there's little to no room for malevolence. You point at possible collusion and malevolence, on a global scale... You're a paranoid. So the tiny hat dossier...
...
And that's not saying everything bad has to be the result of some sort of conspiracy, don't get me wrong
However what I do see, is that if I'm wrong, me the "paranoid", then all the better, I wish I was wrong anyways... It's a fucking nightmare...
But if my relative is wrong then... It's going to be the fucking nightmare I was referring to...
Its not over rationalising it's simply not letting a single event dictate pattern recognition. It's just being gullible.
You can't tell if he's right or wrong on his next prediction right now, and yet you still draw conclusions by starting with the premise that his prediction will be wrong, but you don't know...
That's called gambling, that's all
I'm not saying he will be wrong that's just an outright lie, even if he was a complete fraud there is a chance he might be right, I'm just pointing out that one event is zero precedent to take a stranger at their word. I don't know why you want to believe but go ahead.
