    René Descartes walked into a bar.
    The bartender asked, "You gonna order a drink?"
    "No. I think not," Descartes replied.
    And then he vanished.

    having a conversation where a co-interviewee offers a simple supporting remark such as, in this case “i agree”, while then letting the answerer continue adds to the conversation so much more than two people competing at offering information simultaneously.

    was a rationalist when i was younger. Now I am mixture of both a rationalist and an empiricist depending on the needs of the situation.

    Every psychologist who studies human 'intelligence' (in it's protean form), needs to understand the distinction between rationalism vs empiricism. Unfortunately, most of them do not.

    To put it simply rationalism is based on reason while empiricism is based on experience. And they are two competing views on how to gain knowledge .While math is based on rationalism , physics and all the other physical sciences are based on experience alone.

      ​@@particularity6904Can you not argue that reason is in and of itself an experience? I think of it as it is better to represent consciousness as part of the environment and not separate from it. Perhaps that is what the divide is: where the observer lies in relation to their environment.

    Try asking a professional philosopher, or even a student in "Intro to Philosophy," to get clear, accurate definitions of these terms.

      Rationalism: Innate knowledge. Transcendental knowledge. Metaphysical knowledge. Knowledge prior to experience (a priori).
      Empiricism: No innate knowledge. No transcendental knowledge. Scientific knowledge. Knowledge is Post-Experience (a posteriori).

    The problem today is the extreme anti-empiricist bias, and particularly the bias against human intuition. Rationalism is pretty common and is roughly what we assess via 'common sense' .

Hell, you will find many people who cannot deny that you made entirely logical deductions from self-evident truths, but still say what you said is meaningless because you have no data to back it up. A progressive erosion of logical thinking.

    I’m going to set aside everything I know, start from scratch. take a look at the histories, science, how it’s not good, you got to be critical of the past. Whatever I do beginning from scratch is better as long as I’m perceiving from self evident assumptions. Infallible conclusions.

      Very interesting, why did you change your opinion? To me some assumptions do seem self-evident and often when tested turn out right, however there were also times when something that seemed to be self-evident turned out to be false. So you really have to make sure that you don't start on false premises, and tbh empircism can play a role in verifying that. So personally I think they both have their value.
