I think that at the end of the day we all believe what we want to believe but I personally lean towards logic, reasoning, and science and generally apply them to new thoughts and ideas. So, I’m more of a skeptic and I do not believe our feelings determine objective truth. I think our feelings can match a truth but not determine a truth. So, I wouldn’t have much confidence in a particular belief unless it is something I would WANT to believe and is convenient to believe and which serves me well to believe and that, of course, brings me back to my first statement; that we believe what we want to believe.

My rational mind governs all of my decisions, by which I mean I rationalize all of the emotions that govern my decisions. 😄

If a person holds a particular belief and it cannot be demonstrated to be untrue, how much confidence should we have that it is true?

It depends on whether or not your question is applied to something I personally believe. 😉

Is the typical relationship between employers and employees (particularly in larger corporations) emotionally abusive? Namely, the part where it is not an option for the manager to tell the employee, “You are enough.” Rather, there is a mandate that the manager maintain the stance that the employee always needs to improve something, i.e., “You are always broken.”

I wonder if midlife crises hit once we exceed the lifespan of our evolutionary ancestors?
