The rational thinker versus the paranoid

Presented with the same evidence for a mystery, the rational thinker and the paranoid respond very differently.

The rational thinker

The paranoid

1. Checks the evidence carefully and doesn’t rely on uncertain evidence

1. Grabs onto a few pieces of evidence and defends them inflexibly.

2. Doesn’t care which evidence he must let go.

2. Seemingly irrationally seizes onto something and won’t let go.

3. Seeks a realistic answer in simple and familiar processes.

3. Invokes complex, unrealistic scenarios controlled by powerful forces behind the scenes.

4. Accepts only what he can critically assess (falsifiable ideas).

4. Deals in explanations that can never be critically assessed (unfalsifiable theories).

5. Is willing to live with unresolved explanations for long periods.

5. Demands quick, even immediate explanations.

6. Accepts the roles of chance and human foibles.

6. Invents scenarios when nothing ever goes wrong.

7. Uses same rational approach in the rest of his life.

7. Approaches many other “events” in the same irrational, paranoid way. (i.e., both people are consistent across their lives.)

8. Finds empowering explanations.

8. Feels powerless before these huge forces (victims).

9. Accepts all demonstrated evidence.

9. Will not face evidence that destroys his theory.

10. Is willing to live with some fraction of unexplained or contradictory evidence.

10. Insists on fitting everything into his explanation, often by explaining difficult items as further evidence of conspiracy.

11. Tries to keep everything in proportion.

11. Often seizes single pieces of evidence and blows them out of proportion.

12. Will change ideas a new evidence emerges.

12. Sticks to preconceived notion regardless of new evidence.

13. Open, flexible, empowered, strong.

13. Preconceived, rigid, victimlike, cowardly.

It is quite remarkable how both "truthers" and neocons are so alike in their paranoia.

The rational thinker also gets all of his facts from Fox News, the New York Post, the Washington Times, the WSJ Editorial Page, AM Radio and other GOP controlled information outlets. And anything thing else is a "conspiracy".

Don't you agree?

I would say that the rational thinker gets his facts from a wide variety of news and information sources.

It is the neocon paranoid who gets his facts exclusively from the sources you cite.

And the "truther" paranoid gets his facts from similar group of narrowly defined sources.

See, the amazing thing about the table above is how it demonstrates that neocons and "truther" types make up the two sides of the paranoid coin.

I didn't say a word about neo-cons, and the sources I cited above don't target neo-cons. They target Republicans.

Given this, and given what you said above, I would say that Truthers and Republicans are two sides of the same paranoid coin.

Your efforts to distance your party from the party head, George W. Bush, for the purpose of the upcoming election are very transparent. Were it not for their enablers the Republicans, the neo-cons would not exist - but you know this.

Ah, I see you're another Freeper-like poster who thinks I'm a Bush supporter because I criticize "truthers."

Just as Freepers attack Bush critics as liberal al-Qaeda supporters, you attack me as a Bush supporter because I mock 9/11 "truth" paranoia.

You fit nicely upon that paranoid coin.

A couple of observations here.

You are obviously obsessed with the 911 truth movement. I say this because I see you spending hours on line every day shilling the Republican talking points on this subject. No other proof is necessary. If you doubt me, just call up your posts here.

Given that this dedicated shilling for the GOP side of the arguments exists, and it does, my question is why?

Why should you care if people question what the government tells them? This seems very healtyth to me and I actively encourage it. If the government tells me something, I try to verify it before swallowing it - because I have caught them lying to me in the past. From my perspective, it seems the more eyes on this matter the better. I am very happy to see people questioning every single ascpect of the event. There are some fishey parts of the story.

Are you pushing the theory that the goverment must be trusted in all cases and that fact checking is evil? Or are you worried that this fact checking might injure the Repulbican Party in the upcoming elections - the party you obviously shill for.

Your crap about this just being entertainment is obviously false. You invest too much time and effort in it for that. You lack the sense of irony and humor that others exhibit when they are just having fun. You are obviously dead serious about your shilling.

Give the above, it's pretty clear that you oppose the 911 truth movement because it harms the Republican Party.

Thank you for admitting that I was correct in my post above.

Let me add that you are a bald faced liar as well. Re-read my post and point to where I called you a Bush supporter. You can't - but you know that. In fact, I noted that you are now trying to distance your party from Bush with your shilling. Your dishonesty is so predictable.

I told you, I'm not a Republican.

And I told you that no shill worth his salt admits to party affilitation - see the thread above. You ignored this point and tried to run over it as if it were very inconvenient to you. You do agree that no shill would ever admit to being a member of the party he shills for don't you? Doesn't O'Reilly claim to be an Indpenedent even though his Republican voter registration circulates on the internet?

Your problem is that you can't deal with independent criticism of idiotic conspiracy theories.

You know you can't post a quote to support this and I would go so far as to say this is the third knowing, bald faced lie that you have pushed on this thread alone.

Read my post above. I said I approve of people fact checking the government. I didn't favor any result in the fact checking. But you know this. You just don't want other people reading the thread to know this.

In your small mind, anyone who doubts 9/11 "truth" is a Republican.

So again I win the argument. The cornered wingnut once more begins hurling feces when argument fails him. Let me add that this too is a knowing, bald faced lie. You can't post a link to back up your freeper style smear here. But you know that.

As you know, and as you don't want others who read this thread to know, I commented on the motives that you - you and not the world at large - exhibit in your obesssive quest against the 911 people questioning the goverment. But you know this. You just don't want others to know this.

My opinion is that you are a Republican shill.

My reason for thinking this is your very serious and determined attack on the 911 truthers. And your dishonesty about this just being a game for you - and I've supported this further up on the thread.

I am also of the opinion that you are a Freeper. I have two reasons for thinking this: First, you are very dishonest in your arguments. You will lie at the drop of a hat as long as the lie furthers your cause. Freepers and hard core Republicans are the only people I have ever seen embrace this sort of pathological dishonesty. You have been caught out in lies several times on this thread alone. Secondly, when pressed with an inconvenient fact, you immediately go personal and begin smearing like a Fox News shill - or a freeper. (Note that I've highlighted your Freeper style smear tactics at several points on the thread above - so please don't start your "quote me" game .... again.)

The only other thing lacking in your Republican credentials is a gay lover.

So if it looks like a duck, walks like a ducka nd quacks like a duck, I am disinclined to believe your wild conspiracy theories about the duck being some sort of independent thinker.

If that was the only thing he didn't believe in, he'd be fine. It's his support for globalism, amnesty, war on terror, REALID, Patriot Act, communism, and sniping that make him a buffoon. We can disagree on 9-11. He is the anti- thesis of Freedom4UM in every way, not just one. We're not talking about disagreeing on a couple things here. It's akin to someone not even speaking the same language.

You refuse to address these facts and instead resort to the type of dishonesty you just tried in post number 44 and in your post above.

Why should I listen to a person who has proven themselves to be as big a pathological liar as Bush or any other GOP shill?

Other interests besides the Republican Party may have an interest in squelching and discrediting dissent on 9/11. The military-industrial complex, for one.

To reason, indeed, he was not in the habit of attending. His mode of arguing, if it is to be so called, was one not uncommon among dull and stubborn persons, who are accustomed to be surrounded by their inferiors. He asserted a proposition; and, as often as wiser people ventured respectfully to show that it was erroneous, he asserted it again, in exactly the same words, and conceived that, by doing so, he at once disposed of all objections. - Macaulay, "History of England," Vol. 1, Chapter 6, on James II.

The paranoid column reads exactly like your typical GOPER. The GOP is a party of enemies. Myriad enemies - everywhere. One long line of enemies out to "destroy America". Plotting and planning- for generations- to bring America to ruin. Saddam Hussein was going to kill us by the millions with his drones of death and nuke clouds. Liberals and leftists - secretly esconced everywhere want to destroy America and surrender to Moooslems. And of course the Moooslims want to rule the world (you can tell by all their foreign military bases and invasions of non moosslem lands). If not the Mooslims why it is the Spics- Cause some college kids who call themselves Aztlan want to "take over America". If not the spics- then the Chinks. "Red" China is coming to get us you see- they are planning something sneeky! Let's not forget the "Gays". The gays are trying to make our kids queermos- with their "Gay agenda". Tommorrow it will be Bantu tribesmen who are the "Threat". One absurd idiotic enemy after another and a laundry list of absurd conspiracies for each one.

I've been seeing this new style of propaganda lately.

Only a very small, hard core group of morons still thinks Bush is successful. And as these goobers arn't going anywhere, so they can be ignored. The GOP needs the moderates and Independents to win and they can only get these by distancing themselves from Bush.

I think this is why every Freeper shill I see now claims to not support Bush. The goal of the GOP is to distance itself from Bush by 2008. They do not want to be the party that gave us Bush and the Iraq war when the next election rolls around.

Secondly, I think the Republican Party has become synonymous with dishonest propaganda. A shill can't come off as a Republican without taking on the taint of Fox News, the New York Post, The Washington Times, Michael Savage, Limbaugh, Coulter and the rest of the dishonest crew. Moderates and Independents roll their eyes when these goob foolers open up. Hence, shill like O'Reilly and the rest claim to be independents. They need to distance themselves from the now discredited GOP shills that came before.

So the question becomes, how do you shill for the GOP if you have to come off as an Independent who doesn't like Bush?

Do as Mister Clean does. Don't take a positive stand on anything, but disparage anything that hurts the party. And disparage it in very vague terms that can be denied when challenged. The goal isn't to logically challenge rational people. The GOP knows it can't do this and it gave up on thinking people long ago.

The real goal is to move the overton window in favor of an overbearing, parternalistic Republican theocratic government. The goal is to make questioning the official government stories on things such as 911 seem slightly dirty. Or to make wondering if there is really a problem with the credit markets seem slightly kookey. Or to make examination of anything that smacks of GOP failure somehow "wrong". The goal is to make the goobs think all is rosey and that only conspiracy nuts examine reality.

That's exactly what I mean; as Bush mentioned once, crawdaddying all over the place. You derided what may be the motives and interests of the MIC in manipulating public information, yet you now claim that the MIC is not farfetched which was a reasonable inference from your citing that item from the list in the column.

Just an aside, you may wish to reread the list; those who are investigating and digging into the lies around 11/9 actually fall more into the reasonable and rational columns than those who constantly disparage their quest for more information about the whole sordid episode.

It's not as if you offer any defense of the Government approved Conspiracy Scenario, you just badmouth any efforts to investigate its veracity.

It's a real juvenile method of interacting on internet forums, which as you maybe claimed are worthless and ineffectual, (don't want to make you deny something you never claimed, I don't, no sir) when your posting "style" just makes you a gadfly, akin to a fly in a room that one gets tired of trying to swat and then simply ignores, sometimes by putting a small piece of rotten fruit for it to alight upon, gorging itself and not buzzing around in irritating but ultimately harmless and thankfully ineffectual motions.

There is no conflict in acknowledging the existence of the military industrial complex and ridiculing the noting that they could be trying to attack 9/11 "truth" on Internet message boards.

He, you seem awfully concerned about a movement that's on it's last legs.

Thing is, you guys can't even leave well enough alone - the 119 Official Story has been enshrined - the Cover Up worked - yet you still get your knickers in a twist about a few "oddball" websites that deride the Party Line.

So, if it's that stupid a movement, why bother to discredit it anymore. Consider that antics like yours lend credence that even after 6 years, the mere shining of any light upon the events causes you enough concern that you have to go after the guys holding the flashlight.

Good point. I am very suspicious of anyone who seems to devote their entire posting life to stopping people from fact checking a government story. And that is what this guy does - just call up his posts to verify this.

It makes me wonder what the stake is here. Who is hurt by questioning the government line on the 911 story?

And note that this isn't just a game as the guy claims. He's a bit too dedicated and a bit too humorless in the task for that.

Humorless, single minded, using slippery rhetoric to imply without saying and then deny the common sense inference of his statements.

Reminds me of some other types without the verbiage, the asking for sources and general contempt for anything questioning the official line, which though never explicitly supported is always the base and starting point ofany responses or so called rebuttals.

And the putting of words into peoples mouths.

I'd love to go back in time with a mind control ray and have Bush Jr. declare on 9/12/01 that the terror attacks were done by the XXTEHBNEHEH race and their death ray laser they built on mars.

I'd do it just to see how many sheeple would support it and call anyone who opposed invading mars an America hater.
