I am Interested in Facts Not Platitudes
Beware of the academic who proclaims that that: ” I am Interested in Facts Not Platitudes” because in reality chances are they actually are not interested in anything at all, only listening to themselves talk or think and thus this allows them to spout off their memorized data, as if that is all that really matters.
This is quite dangerous in that it leads them to further believe that observations or common knowledge is not valuable only their skewed limited research. They call these facts, but if their facts are based in observation of research in an enclosed environment, then why are your observations of reality any less viable?
The real facts are that they are not interested in facts, as they are only interested in their latest spin, position and angle based on selective use of reading material and data collection. That has nothing to do with facts - that has only to do with trying to convince someone of something. Thus an academic researcher must be careful, if they really care about the sanctity of research that they are not becoming just another marketer marketing their research fact finding as an absolute.
Seldom does a week go buy that some long-term scientific belief is busted due to new information. This absolute attitude against common sense and platitude is not worthy of upper level academic aptitude. So when they say “I am interested in facts not platitudes.”
You might just say “Oh you are, are you?” The question I have is do they even know what a fact is? Because simply making that statement is probably nonfactual as most humans are interested in platitudes not facts or they are interested in only certain facts at certain times, which serve their particular purpose.
The fact that they can mold and use in a certain skewed way in order to propel their argument. If someone tells you I am interested in facts not platitudes you should realize that this is absolute deception. What they are pretending to do is to take the moral high ground and get you to believe that they are right and you are wrong.
The best way to deal with this is to point out to them that your information is based on reality and observation which can be proven and these very observations have happened more than once and happen every day all across the nation. Whereas their limited and selective reading cannot be duplicated for it only exists in a research report where data was collected under false pretense and with the explicit purpose of promoting an agenda or an angle for their own benefit.
The fact is you can trust no one especially someone who says that they are interested in facts not platitudes. The truth is they are not interested in anything except their point of view and promoting their agenda. And that fact is a fact and it is duplicatable and observable throughout academia and do not have to do any research to know that. So open your eyes and look around.
