How authentic are forums like these actually? With the rise of AI chatbots, internet interaction feels more fake than ever before. Why should I post here my opinions and thoughts, share articles etc. when probably most of you are just chatbots?

    It’s interesting you bring up pascal’s wager, because the first time was introduced to me it was basically a clear-cut example of a logical fallacy.

    Probably because it is a clear cut example of a logical fallacy. The whole thing was an exercise in question begging via it’s unstated assumptions.

      The wager isn’t a fallacy. It suffers from false premise. The logical validity isn’t the problem. It’s internally consistent. And it didn’t beg the question at all in the argument. You can I guess sort of claim the premise does? But not really.
