Reply #14: An arbitrary position, i.e. one that is not based on empirical evidence, [View All]

acquires is strength from single-mindedness. The more arbitrary it is, the more it NEEDS single-mindedness to survive. The longer it survives the more arbitrary it becomes, until the arbitariness of the construct:validity of inevitable truth ratio becomes so high that a redistribution of factors occurs. Hopefully it will be a non-violent redistribution when it happens. The sooner the better; that's why it IS kind of good to let them go to the end of their "rope".
