Hi friends, Approx 12-13 years ago, before I got introduced to philosophy and logic (which was not part of my country's school-system), I started a website/forum about paranormal phenomenas, ghosts, ufos, and the like. I thought it was interesting and wanted to learn more. As you may know, in this kind of pseudo-science milieu, everyone can have "their own truth". Horrible. Today I see this as an incredible dangerous way of thinking, and I'm glad to say it is "something of my past". I got introduced to philosophy 6-7 years ago via a podcast about trivium, quadrivium and logical fallacies. After that, I totally left the paranormal stuff. Meanwhile, the site was still running. Here is the big deal; During all these years, my website have grown to hold near 20000 registered members (registration has always been free). Now I am about to close down the website, because I cannot defend hosting a discussion forum where people every day grows "their own reality", in galaxies far away from the objective truth. What do you think I should do with the website? Should I remove all pages, posting a link to freedomainradio maybe? Could I use it to help others in the best direction for discovering that there is something called objective truth? Or would that be rude for those who actually signed up because of their interest in paranormal-stuff? There is this saying, "when the student is ready the teacher will appear", so I'm in doubt if I can help at all.. but then again, a podcast-show helped me and introduced me to logical fallacies. It saved me, sort of.. What you think? 20000 brains.. last time I watched Iron Maiden live, 20000 was hell of a lot of people (Note: I wrote this question to Stefan earlier, but I guess I should post it here instead and not bother him with this. At the time I sent the message to Stefan, I thought there was 18k users on my form. Actually, it is closer to 20k, so .. Maybe, if I somehow could introduce even 1, 2 or 3 of them to philosophy, I would be so happy, and the website wouldn't be the waste-of-time I think it is)
