No, of course, I cannot. I do not judge what category someone likely falls into based on whether what they say matches nearly word for word a "promoted" viewpoint. In some cases, I mostly agree with what they said but it's painfully obvious that person didn't come to that conclusion through their own thinking but is rather just parroting a screenshot of a post on the site formerly known as Twitter.

You have missed the entire point of my comment. If someone is likely to be in categories 2 or 3, I dismiss them if the viewpoint is otherwise not worthy of discussion, which it usually is not. I don't care if this causes me to misjudge the intentions of some people, because that is inevitable in any probability-based judgement system. What matters is picking what is most likely correct.

I don't feel that you have the ability to grasp this point and you're just going to come up with another argument I didn't make to attack.

I don't think you have the ability to treat other users as fully human

[-] NateNate60@lemmy.world -3 points 5 months ago

Oh, I understand they are usually human. I just don't think their viewpoints are worthy of discussion. And you make this judgement every day as well, even if you refuse to admit it. And perhaps you make it on grounds that are less sound.

And you make this judgement every day as well, even if you refuse to admit it

an absolutely unfalsifiable claim.

whatever you are doing over there it isn't science.

[-] NateNate60@lemmy.world -3 points 5 months ago

No, it's not science. It's logic based on a few observations. If you don't observe the same things as I do, you will not come to the same conclusions.

[-] AnarchistsForKamala@lemmy.world 3 points 5 months ago

it's not logical, either.
