Let's say Person A likes tacos and pizza. Person A isn't aware that he is lactose intolerant, and though given clues that he is, he chooses to believe that he isn't lactose intolerant.

Let's say Person B is born after Person A dies. Person B is well-aware that he's lactose intolerant even though he loves tacos and pizza. However, the people he discusses about this condition with keep telling him he isn't "intolerant". Even to the point of being called "crazy", he affirms the REAL intolerance he has.

Who do you respect more: The person who lives deluded, or the person who is treated as deluded? And, why?

There. I made the topic better.

dammit! After I read this, and then read the original again, it made sense 🤣 (I feel dumb 🤢 )

Who do I respect more? They're both the same.... I know both types of people, and they can be annoying at the same time. And also, I'm part of "the world" so, to both people, we don't agree with each other (ex. Person A thinks I'm lying, and Person B doesn't believe me). Both are the same!!!

I respect both

By far, I respect Person B more. At least he hears both the real truth, and the lies, and decides which one is true. I cannot respect anyone who chooses to live his life in denial of anything. The person telling Person B that the truth isn't real is in denial, just like Person A.

unparadox question because it only provides 2 choices

The Deviant

Not sure I like B all that much actually. B seems to be trying to force his opinions on other people. I respect other people's opinions, but I don't like it when people try to force it on others.

Say... (And I'm using a controversial subject) God exists (I don't care if you believe in God or not, let's just say He does exist). And Person B is nagging you about how God exists. ... That's not too cool. (please don't get too mad that I brought this up)

Besides, who's to say that B is right anyhow. So I respect both, because both are the same. They believe in something after reviewing both sides, despite what others say, and stick to their belief. (although that can just be called "stubborn" and close-minded). Well. As long as they don't force each other's opinions on others.

Question, why does A have to die before B? @.@

Why did you capitalize the h in "he"?

Sounds like you're trying to force your grammatical beliefs on me.

But, seriously, you're trying to add some serious depth to a shallow question. Not a good idea.

Why tacos and pizza? Because of the cheese, or is part of the dilemna? I mean, if they can't eat cheese (which has really low lactose content), then they're really sensitive to the stuff, which wouldn't make sense if A is unaware of his condition and the people around B keeps telling him that he isn't intolerant. Is it a trick question? 'Cause ice cream would be an easier example.

p.s. I want to know why A has to die first too.

It's not a trick question. I just copy/pasted the first post and chose an arbitrary subject in an attempt to show that it's a fairly whacked out question. You could really put anything else in there too.

They dying part doesn't make any sense in the context of the question either. You'd have to ask the OP.

It is there most likely to point us that they have got nothing to do with
each other, to point us that those two people are not there
together in that same room, the other one silent, the other
one discussing. Otherwise we would compare them to that
one situation and it could change our resolve.
If you believe that it does not affect by any means,
then your view could just be narrow. o.o

It would have been made more clear, if that was the intent, to say at the beginning "in the context of this question these people are unrelated."

You still don't seem to understand what resolve means. This question in and of itself doesn't exactly rouse one's emotions. 😐

Sorry, OP. Didn't mean to hijack your thread somewhat. 🙁

What makes you think it doesn't affect your emotions?
All of our experience is based on emotions and with
experience, we choose.

Actually... after A dies, I thought B was suppose to be his son, and he refuses to live like A does....... no? 🤣

That made sense to me... 😲

I was trying to think of two real people in history that she might have been talking about.
