Cassandra Had No Effect On Us
OK, listening to that podcast about Cassandra really had me thinking. Thinking about is why she decided that the best way to portray her visions, is to speak in weird riddles so the people will believe her. Most people don't even like riddles in the first place and they give up on them in the first few minutes. This whole story taught me a lesson. You half to portray your idea in a way that people like, and that they can not deny. If the idea was say, predicting the latest presidency, then you would half to give people evidence, that it was going to happen. I would never think that was going to be true. If they had evidence, then I would consider it. Notice how I said consider. So, the perfect way to get us to believe that example would to tell people that thought that was a good idea. OK, so that was lesson in a shell. Give evidence, tell people that would believe you, that about it. The only problem is that none of us have magical powers, yet.

Well, I don't completely believe that her future telling was just 'magic.' After all, it is a myth. It was most likely built off of the common occurrence of having dreams that surprisingly come true, or simply knowing something will happen and then it does. These things still happen in our current day.
ReplyDeleteYou yourself said you may only consider the possibility of a subject in an argument being true, even with evidence, so why wouldn't you suspect even the people that think it's a good idea to not question it? Those who believe you will have the same thoughts, and it won't get much farther spread than a small group if it's irrational. Though that's simply an opinion, and large outbreaks of unbelievable ideas have shaken history for the better or worst just because people agreed that it was rational. Do you still have the same side, or do you think it doesn't matter to share your opinions?
