“The thing about being a philosopher is that you would have to think your opinion counts.”
“There’s more to it than asserting your opinion. There’s being able to tell the difference between a fact, a conclusion and an opinion. Being able to develop a valid opinion and present it. Being able to appreciate someone else’s opinion when it’s different from yours.”
“In your opinion.”
“If you think a Whopper is better than a Big Mac, that’s a matter of opinion. But if you believe grass is green that’s a fact and is true or not true.”
“In your opinion.”
“There are arguments for there being no objective reality. But there hard to get your head around and are on shaky ground. Science is dependent of the assumption there is an objective reality and it would be very difficult to function on a daily basis without making that assumption.”
“In your opinion.”
“You haven’t really thought this through; if all there is is opinion then any belief or behaviour can be justified.”
“In your opinion.”
“So Hitler’s world view was evil is a matter of opinion?”
“That’s right its a matter of opinion.”
“And if someone thinks Hitler’s world view was good its just another opinion?”
“That’s right its all just opinion.”
“Its a fault of democracy that the fact that at election everyones vote is equal is extended to the belief that everyones opinion is equal across the board. But not all opinions are equal, some opinions are better qualified than others and a philosopher’s opinion is better qualified that the opinion of someone who hasn’t thought about the truth. Then even when qualified a climate change skeptic’s opinion is not equal to those who accept climate change as a fact.”
“In your opinion.”
“Has it occurred to you that this is just your opinion?”
“That’s right that’s my opinion.”
“Yea, and your opinion is a crock of shit! The world would be a complete mess if your philosophy were to catch on!”
“In your opinion.” She replied starting to tear up.
“Your a fucking idiot!”
“In your opinion.”
“No your an idiot is a fact!”
“In your opinion!” Near balling.
“What’s this all about?” Someone asked
“Sorry my fault, I tried to engage an idiot in an intelligent conversation!” Andrew asserted as he stormed off. “And don’t say it again!”
“In your opinion!”
