    I propose we separate breathing from the State, since we're being intentionally absurd and ignoring everything I just said.

    Any concept that involves the conscious mind also involves thinking and arguably, "belief". That does not mean everything the brain does is comparable with everything else it does, and that it's all the same. Opinion is learning is thought? No.

    Thinking is different from knowing, knowing is different from learning. Some things are beliefs, and others, are methods. Beliefs and methods are not the same. An apple and a baseball are not the same.
    what alot of bs. breathing isnt based on a set of beliefs. you try to hold your breath and see how long you will succeed in doing so. breathing is a neccesary bodily function. it is not something that you do and could not be doing. it is animal instinct.

    you are being a tool at the moment and still your comparison falls short of the mark. besides that, i never advocated for science and state to be seperated. and definitly not based on whats on that website. science is supposed to have neutral values and therefor will less likely hamper politcal descision, thats for starter, for main i would have to give it some more thought

    i never said that a belief and a method are the same. they are most definitly not. but at the base of the method is the belief in certain concepts that are the foundation of that method and THEREFORE cannot be proven by that method.

    so try to read what people write plz. you are better than this. or to quote you

    Hey, if you want to ignore the entire content of my post, feel free, but then do me a favor and don't respond to it.
    if this is all you can come up with let sasaki handle it
