Comment on I always believe what the people around me believe. Is that truth or what?

  Reality probably has no facts.

  Is that a fact?

    No it’s a postulate.

  It is useful to assume objective facts. For example I’ve only ever seen things falling down. I have formed a model in my head and so far my predictions concerning gravity have always been useful in my life. You’re free to not believe in it but then your life will be more like a 1yo toddler in a baby’s high chair who has to try 500 times a day if the napkin will continue to fall on the ground the next time.

    You call it a useful thing but then you offer only belief or disbelief as the options for using it.

    That seems kinda fundamentalist and matrimonial.

    Instead, it could be a casual relationship. Occasional dating. Polyamory.

      Meh, Polyamory isn’t the same as an open relationship. It comes with commitment and lots of emotional entanglement.
