The Deafness Before the Storm: New York Times

[caseymoz]

56. Didn't I just say, I'm not interested in convincing you?

I'm declaring my opinion. If my telling you it has been refuted doesn't make you curious enough to look, in the Internet age, then lack of information isn't the problem. It might not seem like it right now, but I don't have a lot of time. I do have a real job, and no part of it involves compensating for lack of curiosity.

Plus, every time I've chased down sources for people, they either write something that shows they didn't read it, or they never post back. I presume with the latter, they lost interest.

I did say, also, in a previous post, that once you believe something, it takes more than mere evidence to change your mind, because you can't change it without some anguish. Which is why one should be skeptical. Believing is easy, backpedaling is a bitch.

Never mind. I've declared my opinion. So I'm gone.
