Another terrible reduction from Joe Bag. There isn't a one-to-one conformance between the Real and belief. This completely erases the existence of the unconscious.

Ignoring the obviously problematic idea of a "true believer" + the problem with respect being meted out on those terms, this statement makes a mockery out of what I'll call "information." Basically this position says, if you believe in something powerfully enough, that matters more than if what you believe is true. At bottom, that's a credulous/disrespectful stance on information.

Reading takes like this makes me hella glad that I don't live in your reality.

That post wasn't for you, actually. It was for other people who may read your boring repackaging of the worst aspects of common sense. I can't tell you're probably lost forever, dude. I'm not worried about you.

I like that Exum uses both hands around the basket.

What you believe in is YOUR reality. It is not necessarily something that is true or real.

If you believe in pixies and that they will have coffee ready for you tomorrow morning, then that is your reality. When you wake up and the coffee isn't made, you will either:

A) Blame yourself for not worshiping well enough, and try again. Or

B) Stop believing in pixies.

See is one thing to respect people, it's another to respect their beliefs.

Meh, the whole back to the basket from the 3pt line is just a crutch because he doesn't trust his handle. I don't know that it's an actual weapon.

Maybe is because the D so far in preseason won't be what he'll see in the regular season, but his vision and quickness are so good that he has been breaking down the D from either direction in those situations.

Conversely, one can and should be able to disrespect an idea without disrespecting its author. Our society is bad at understanding this difference. JFC is ****ing terrible at it.

Yeah but would he be better off just facing the basket and doing a quick crossover to get where he wants instead?
