If there is a man who is not only healthy but has fully functional legs and trained splendid muscles, and who chooses to roll around in a wheelchair voluntarily, than he mocks himself, and his behaviour is a disgrace for himself and even an offence to those sitting in a wheelchair and having no choice.
And if God has given you a brain and sanity and ratio and logic and you refuse to make use of it, instead get fixiated on absurd constructions that in the end just mean that you claim that any fantasy one could imagine should be given as a possible glimpse of an existing reality just not discovered so far - then this is a disgrace, too. Not to use your brain when you have one, is a sin, one could put it in other terms. I know the Black Swan Fallacy and all that - but the extremes you push it too is not what Black Swan Fallacies are about. where it is reasonable to remind yourself that just because you never saw a black swan there are no black swans (since you know some things about genetics and mutations and albonos and natural diversiofcations etc etc), it is idiotic to claim the same for just any fairytale, fantasy or hallucination the human mind can produce. The Black Swan Fallacy is not to arbitrarily or randomly declare just any random fantasy a possible reality. That is no tolerant thing to do,m that is no thing of freedom or open mindedness - that is simply pathologic and if people practice it too excessively it indeed can bring them into psychiatry. It then is called a delusional disorder or a pathologic loss of sense of reality.
And that is hell for the human mind.
You get too fiddly too easily, and too often, and mikstake that with a defence of "principles", while reality passes you by. Its exactly the mechanism that made us banging heads repeatedly before. And that really kills my nerves. Not to mention that it gets nobody anywhere. Not you, not me, and nobody around.
However, with that I move on from here. I am not buying into Mayan mysticism.
