Lecture 2: De Opinione
from Vademecum—Vadetecum by Profestriga
lyrics
I’d like to take some time right now
To express some thoughts about opinion.
Your opinion doesn’t matter!
What do you even mean to say when you say it’s your opinion?
Do you mean to hedge and say that you don’t have
Confidence or evidence for your beliefs? Then just admit your low credence.
Do you mean to say something with a little more intent? It’s my opinion—don’t have to listen to your argument,
That evidence ain’t relevant
to this belief?
Then you are full of shit!
You are full of shit, my friend!
You are full of shit!
You are full of shit, my friend!
You are full of shit!
You are full of shit!
You’re only full of shit, my friend!
You are full of shit!
Motherfucker’ listen; there’s no division
Between truth and what’s opinion.
I know it seems like a real distinction
But all claims need their justification.
Gotta face the facts that track the truth,
Then you can come back to me to
Explain your view; I promise I’ll hear you
Out to show that truth is what you
Bring to the table—I’ll consider that you’re able to
Explain that you’re not merely full of shit.
Are you full of shit, my friend? Are you full of shit?
Are you full of shit, my friend?
Are you full of shit?
Are you just full of shit?
Are you full of shit, my friend? Are you full of shit?
Even reason unencumbered by considerations
a posteriori cannot be a panacea liberating
You from all the epistemic obligations facing you.
Gotta take us through the train of thought that you think have
brought you to the truth bru.
What have you to say to
bring you from the a priori observations in your brain?
Please explain argumented evidence, a shred of mens to lend credence or
You are full of shit!
You are full of shit, my friend!
You are full of shit!
You are full of shit, my friend!
You are full of shit!
You’re just full of shit!
You’re only full of shit, my friend
You are full of shit!
Onus probandi incumbit cum ei qui dicit et
Onus non incumbit cum ei qui negat et tu es!
Ille, ergo postulatus tuus demonstrare necessites
Si æstimatio nostra sit quod tu quaris!
