I can absolutely "create hypotheticals." That's not the issue.

The issue is that I don't simply accept the hypotheticals because they exist. I don't allow myself to create nonfalsifiable theories about the world and how it works.

I don't reject literally every explanation for every event in the world that ISN'T considered hypothetical.

There is a difference between having a theory that ISN'T proven wrong and having a theory that CAN'T be proven wrong. Your theory on the world is in the latter.

Maybe you are right. Maybe the entire world is lying except you. Maybe I can't even trust a "communist microscope", whatever that is. Maybe I can't trust any information that would make you appear to be wrong about things.

But you know what I can't do from that position? I can't make a single prediction. I can only claim credit in the aftermath, when eventually something MIGHT look kind of like it came true, as long as I do some letter substitutions.

"Think mirror." "Disinfo is necessary." "Ammo expended."

Entertain a hypothetical for me. Can you think of any OTHER reason why an anonymous prophet on the internet would suggest that anything that disproves his theory is just because of disinfo, or to expend ammo, or because it's some 5D countermove?

Can you entertain any hypothetical reason why someone would tell his followers that anything appearing to be failure is actually evidence that the prophecy is coming true? Why loss is just a tactical repositioning? Why any big flop must have been just a distraction for the Deep State?

You can't be proven wrong in any empirical way because of your beliefs.

And maybe you're right.

But if you aren't, then you're stuck in a theory that you literally can't prove your way out of. Because it's nonfalsifiable. And you will be stuck there until YOU can start entertaining hypotheticals.

So I guess for that sake, I hope you're right. Because if you aren't, you have left yourself absolutely no way to see it.
