- +cabadejo __ This is again long but I cover a few things and introduce another term ("camel-straw claim" or "camel-straw assertion") and find another use for "sham belief" (as a false but seductive belief [especially where a lot of time could potentially be wasted either believing it or exploring it]).
- __
- To understand this and my reaction you'll need to at least skim over the following few paragraphs. I know it's long.
- I also ask for your opinion on something at the end.
- Note: I also apologise in advance - I don't have time to read over what I've written [I'm typing quickly as usual] and will do so as I can - if there are any typos, doubled words or stupid phrasing - forgive me.
- __
- The kind of belief I am talking about (what I am calling a "shadow belief") is something that *can be true.*
- In fact - the whole point is to get us to believe TRUE THINGS for FALSE REASONS.
- Whatever can be lied about IS lied about (and so the only exceptions are "self-evident truths").
- Where *possible* the lie system gives us false reasons to believe (especially when it comes to self-evident truths).
- As much as possible we are given BS as our *foundation* for a belief.
- The lie system (and in general: LIARS) constantly make an effort to have us believe and accept things *without* justification.
- __
- (Simply dismissing the "masking glitch" as a "satellite glitch" or "broadcasting glitch" is an effort to have us accept something without justification. Without a known good example we are not justified in accepting that explanation and a person who does is doing so because it conforms to their pre-existing belief that the "ISS" is real or their pre-existing belief that "it resembles a satellite glitch" and they do not care enough to find an alternate explanation.)
- __
- However - *we are not given sufficient proof for the lie system events and claims.* That's the simple "trick". That is the "common denominator" between lie system claims and events.
- And that is why the "ISS" proves we live in a lie system *because it is such an extraordinary claim that can be so simply proven yet after fifteen years we have not seen what we need to see to justify a belief in it!*
- Thus "sufficient proof" *must* be getting intentionally withheld from us!
- How any "truthers" before me *have not noticed this* is baffling to me and my inclination is to suspect they are either all worthless researchers *or* representatives and agents of the lie system.
- __
- *An aside / distinction:*
- I think going forward what I call an "agent of the lie system" will be someone who can actually get a drone strike to take a person out or have a hitman take someone out.
- That is to say - an agent is someone who has *real* agency. That was always the intention but it's clear we are surrounded by people who behave *like* an agent of the lie system but they are not actually lie system agents.
- I've been calling them "useful idiots" which is okay but I should probably use the term "lie system representative".
- The reason being that the people we deal with on YouTube - are more "representatives of the lie system" than actual agents.
- The lie system has *rubbed off* on them - and they have picked up the lie system's traits and characteristics.
- They create "mini-lie systems" whether or not they realise it's what they're doing.
- *End of aside / distinction.*
- __
- Once a person has been trained to accept (believe) something based on trust (i.e., *"who is saying it"* is what matters) and proof's appearances (i.e., *"the reasons given"* do not in and of themselves necessarily prove the claim/event - i.e., none of the reasons are sufficient proof) that person becomes *dependent* upon the specific *story teller.*
- (A group of "story tellers" would be a "network of story tellers". Thus we have *"lie system networks".*)
- *A dependency is formed when a person believes a story teller without reflexively requiring proof (especially sufficient proof).*
- Dependency becomes formed in people who regularly listen to someone. A new listener may have their guard up and require proof. But over time - a person becomes "accustomed" to the person and since they listen to them then the requirements for proof of claims are lowered.
- Until something is said that defies belief in that listener.
- Which leads me to the next point:
- It allows the story teller to suggest increasingly ludicrous things and it will *always* be believed *until a line is crossed* because the audience has always believed without requiring sufficient proof.
- When a "story teller" says something that "defies belief" in a listener then it is like a "straw that breaks a camel's back".
- It is an assertion or claim that "breaks the trust". (And if the person is a liar then it is a lie that breaks the trust.)
- Once trust is broken then the "spell" or "fascination" can be broken.
- (You will see people like "BzTruetalk" constantly trying to portray me as a liar but since I tell no lies he needs to twist, distort and misrepresent. The danger is a person unfamiliar to both of us is at risk of believing "Bztruetalk" - at the very least he serves to "poison the well". I mention him because I just saw he had posted another couple of videos about me.)
- This type of assertion or claim (or lie) would be something that is simply not believed by the listener.
- The assertion may well be true - but the listener *cannot* believe it as they are hearing it from the speaker. *It is at that moment trust between the two is broken or lost and the listener is now in a position to be able to doubt what the speaker says.*
- (And will likely see everything that speaker said as being false. Especially if the speaker had a "mini-lie system" and uttered only lies and half-truths and exaggerations.)
- __
- For example - a lot of people listened to "Jeff C" (including myself! there was a time when I had left him some positive comments - a lifetime ago!) *up until "TransAsia" happened.*
- What "Jeff C" had to say about "TransAsia" was simply too unbelievable and the trust he had with many people was broken.
- *Once that trust was broken it became very easy to see him for the kind of person he is.*
- And so I'll refer to *that* kind of "assertion or claim" that "defies belief" and "breaks the trust" as being a "camel-straw assertion" or "camel-straw claim".
- Each liar will at some point risk uttering a "camel-straw lie".
- ______
- Okay - I got carried away. On to "sham belief". Which I think is a good term for *something else* but not quite for this.
- I'll give an example of what I mean by that in a moment.
- __
- To the term *"sham belief"* itself as an alternative or replacement for "shadow belief".
- __
- *The word "sham" necessarily suggests the belief - despite appearing genuine - is untrue and false.*
- Whereas I am talking about beliefs that *could be true* - and in many cases probably ARE true.
- *It is just that we are not justified in believing them for the reasons given.*
- __
- Let us suppose the Earth is round. Would we really want to call a belief in a round Earth a "sham belief"?!
- We are not given sufficient proof for the Earth's shape. *That alone allows us to doubt it* (though it does not follow that because we can doubt the shape that it must be flat).
- It does not seem appropriate to call every unjustified belief a "sham belief" (I will suggest an alternative use in a moment). Especially when perhaps 97% of our beliefs are unjustified anyway!
- Example: I believe my car is in the garage is an unjustified belief *because it may have been stolen overnight.* I am confident it has not been stolen but it remains an unjustified belief until I see it where it should be.
- To think of my belief that my car is in the garage as being a "sham belief" does not seem right to me.
- As an aside: *Is there some other reason you object to the word "shadow" for "shadow belief"?*
- For some reason I thought you were okay with that word for this term but I am probably mistaken. (I thought you had once commented that you didn't mind that term? I suppose I had a sham belief about it!)
- __
- More seriously: There may indeed be a real and manned "ISS" *the problem is that our belief in it being real and manned is not justified.*
- If there is sufficient proof for a real and manned "ISS" then I will be the first to accept and believe it.
- It is just that after a decade and a half what we need to see to justify our belief remains absent *but we would have reasonably expected to have seen it by now* (even if only accidentally).
- __
- *An alternate suggestion for the term "sham belief":*
- A "sham belief" COULD be referred to as a kind of "trapping belief". (Like laying a snare to catch a rabbit or a bear. Or we call that a "snare belief!" but I think "sham belief" has a much nicer ring to it.)
- For example - the idea that if "a ship that disappears over the horizon and is brought back into view with a telescope therefore the Earth is not curved" could be a candidate *"sham belief".*
- A "sham belief" would be a belief that is seductive or intriguing or tempting but is wrong or somehow flawed.
- After all - "true is true" we must never use the word "true" in association with something that could be false. And so "sham" should be used with things that are false.
- Of course - something "sham" is purported to be genuine - but it IS false. Something that is "sham" is false and that is the only reason I cannot consider it as a replacement for "shadow belief". Because a shadow belief CAN ALSO be true.
- Another candidate "sham belief" would be "rockets don't work in space".
- (Let's just say: if we outright know a belief is false then it is an outright "sham belief" but if we don't know with certainty we would call it a "candidate sham belief" or a "possible sham belief".)
- *A "sham belief" would be something that a person can spend a significant amount of time on and perhaps never quite resolve.*
- Whether or not a person believes a "sham belief" it comes down to personal choice. They choose to either accept or reject it.
- There are people who believe rockets don't work in space *therefore* the Moon landings are fake. There are people who believe "telescopes restore ships into view therefore the Earth is flat.
- If these things are false - then they are "sham beliefs". If much time can be spent on them without resolution - then they are "candidate sham beliefs".
- __
- How do you feel about that? *In that regard I think "sham belief" is appropriate and specific and ideal.*
- I want to keep "shadow belief" for the reasons I began with. And I don't want to reject "sham belief" because it is suitable for what I have just written.
- (A kind of "trapping" or "ensnaring" belief - that leads people down a dead-end.)
- You and I have discussed "rockets in space" and I think that would be a candidate "sham belief".
- And so anything "tempting but probably false" could also fit under the category of a "sham belief".
