Hey /adv. When meeting and talking with a new person. Is is better

How about c) listen to their beliefs and arguments and evaluate them yourself instead of going in with preconceived notions of whether they're right or wrong?

>>18012861
this. what the fuck is wrong with you op?

>>18012861
But you need to make an opinion before that.

>>18012861
>>18012873
Also, discussing all their beliefs and arguments might take a lot of time. Question is about giving them reasonable doubt during that time.

>>18012873
Are you telling me you don't have your own beliefs, opinions and values? That's absolute bullshit.

>>18012873
Your opinion can be that their beliefs are valid until demonstrated otherwise

This is such a weird question I've never thought of human interaction from this angle before

>>18012848
Oh, so this is what they call "autistic"? Makes sense now...

>>18012881
So, if someone comes along, and tells you that you will live forever if you give them 100$, would you believe them? And if asked for clarification, they would spend 4 hours talking about what sounds like a nonsense? Would you still believe them?

>>18012901
So basically, the answer to OP's question is "it depends."

>>18012916
Depends on what?

experience has taught me that it is better to go with option b.
experience has taught me that it is better to act as if you went with option a.
experience has taught me it is best not to interact with people at all.

>>18012929
That actually makes lots of sense. Didn't occur to me to think something different than how you seem.

>>18012925
Depends on whether it is something someone would actually have an incentive to bullshit about. If someone tells me "I work at Starbucks, my job sucks," I'm just going to believe them because who cares? If someone tells me they are a millionaire with a ten inch penis them I will be more skeptical. There is no "one-size-fits-all" policy to believing people.

>>18012848

maybe try being open minded :^)

>>18012848

take each belief as they come. you dont need to change your opinion right away even if someone shows you why you might be wrong, whats important is to reflect.

>>18012901
you don't need a pre-formed opinion about the entirety of the persons belief system to reject that claim as soon as You hear it.

as someone said, judge each statement or belief in its own merits. if the person has a pattern of erroneous beliefs then you can make a judgment.
