Technology allows us to see the limits of ourselves For example: I can't calculate as quickly/accurately as this machine My work takes so long, tech makes it faster -> we must be so much slower than the ideal creation COUNTER ARGUMENT: THe ideal conception can only be realized or posited because of man's existence and participation in the matter The intelligent factor is man itself, and otherwise we can't assume anything was create at all Original We don't need evidence, for evidence is not real but only created because of the blind nature and limited understandingc/capability of man COUNTER ARGUMENT: Standard for evidence is the natural result of existing as any biological being. Humans can abstract and communicate about it, but about it but for any organism, if they do not make deductions about the world, they perish Original You assume this, but you are alive and you don't believe that all your actions have been evaluated and scrutinized for possible abstractions and conceptions that allow for a complete understanding of their reasoning, construction, implications, and so forth. Or perhaps you do believe all of your actions were well-scrutinized, but even in those where you are most certain you did scrutinize, you were still affected by your bias to believe you have insight and undertanding. Your experience predicated on your identity leads to the decisions made. That you isolate the concept of evidence, and believe it was applied, is just your belief structure. COUNTER ARGUMENT: The things we don't know about the world can harm us. We know this because we have experienced surprise catastrophes, from unforeseen attacks to unexpected results. Surely you have had an experience which, though uncomfortable, afforded you the opportunity wherein, in a future situation, you had a greater ability to predict outcomes, thus allowing you to mitigate unwanted consequences. Even the ability to assert decision making, or to draw from the circumstance and produce observations that you otherwise would not have ever seen is an improvement. If you believed all ways or all things arbitrary, then you would go mad, more mad than you are already, as you would be surprised by every event, and all threats would be completely unpredictable adn unmitigated. Original: Possibly none at this time. Logic and reason wins. It would seem as much. exit
