I finished up Paradise PD before starting up Bojack. I am only on Season 1, but it is already better than Paradise PD right now

Big Mouth still takes the cake for me

Bojack does get better. I kinda know why I didn't finish the first episode of season 5. I just couldn't be bothered. Watched way a lot of it and couldn't really force myself to watch more. If I watched it again I would need to watch the entire series or some summary video in order to understand where I was at. Next time I will pace myself.

I am curious what you would choose. One rule no wizard pictures. I promise to take its use under advisement and ask my partner what they think.

Trust no claim

Recognize logical fallacy

Admit epistemological limits

Understand the difference between the rejection of a claim and rejection of the person making the claim.

If you find this I swear to change my avatar.

Accuse everyone

If you find this I swear to change my avatar.

Understand the difference between falsity and truth by not trusting your denial of everything but by stepping outside your paradigms to experience truth in something other than what you will deny for the sake of denying. If you won't do that, then I guess you will always be in a state of not knowing.

Truth may come in many forms, but you have to be willing to embrace it no matter the personal perceptions. Perceptions don't make truth, they are distorted by nature. Truth exists apart from perceptions, if you are not willing to part with those perceptions, then truth will always evade you no matter the proposition.

Rejecting a claim and denying it are two separate things. This is a category error l see a lot of.

What do you mean here exactly? if you reject or deny something, how do you make room for what is truth?

I agree with the first half of this statement but as to the second my perceptions are the only thing I have to judge reality by. I cannot use someone else's. I must, if I am being honest, admit that they could be entirely misleading but in that case I still will be unable to ascertain truth. Something you don't seem to understand since you can admit that perceptions may not be trustworthy but then cite the perceptions of others as evidence of your claims.

But you must, if you are to accept truth beyond your current perceptions. That is how we learn. Someone might have something you cannot yet perceive, that is a given in this world.

Because some perceptions are beyond others. It would be foolish to limit experience to my perceptions alone. At some point, you must be willing to trust something new to experience something new. Awareness is everything...

Saying "I don't see any reason to believe you are correct" is different than saying "I have reason to believe that you cannot be correct".

Or you could try trusting in things which are scientifically and mathematically provable and remain sceptical of claims that cannot be independently authenticated.

Let's try a thought experiment. Let us imagine two universes. In one spirituality exists and many people claim to have had spiritual experiences while in the other there is no metaphysical component  only processes governed my the physical workings of the universe itself and many people claim to have had spiritual experiences.

Now if you had to take the Pepsi challenge with these two universes how would you know which universe you were in without a way of authenticating spiritual Claims? Worse still let's say you only get to experience one if them and guess which one you were in.
