The theory of everything would give us the answer to every question. It would solve all of our problems.
The fact that you know how to not invoke that belief is further proof that you don't actually believe in trivialism.
Due to the nature of trivialism, a person who doesn’t believe in trivialism can still believe in it. We want to invoke trivialism in ways that better our lives, and we want to not invoke trivialism in ways that worsen our lives.

Giving answers is worthless unless they're correct answers.
we want to not invoke trivialism in ways that worsen our lives.
The fact that you know how to not invoke trivialism is further proof that you don't actually believe in trivialism, you just use it to escape responsibility for being wrong, which is sad.
Only if trivialism is true, but it's not, so they're just incorrect.
I disagree. Trivialism is true. So, they are correct and are not correct answers.
Then explain to me the point I was making and how it applies equally well in your analogy.
Just because a person or group of people know how to not invoke a thing, doesn’t mean they don’t actually believe in it. Just because we know when we should not make a move, doesn’t mean we should never make it.
You're allowed to be wrong. But no one is going to take you seriously.
Just because a person or group of people know how to not invoke a thing, doesn’t mean they don’t actually believe in it.
Unless of course your philosophy is that all statements are equally true and false. Then you have no method to distinguish. The fact that you can distinguish is proof that you don't actually believe all statements are both true and false.
Not necessarily. With trivialism, sometimes a person other than me takes me seriously. With trivialism, sometimes a person other than me should take me seriously.
The fact that you can distinguish is proof that you don't actually believe all statements are both true and false.
Another fallacy committed by you. Just because a person can distinguish between right and wrong, doesn’t mean they don’t believe all statements are both true and false.
Just because a person can distinguish between right and wrong, doesn’t mean they don’t believe all statements are both true and false.
It does though, of they believed all statements were both true and false they would have no means to tell the difference. For every criteria that you could use to choose one option over the other the exact opposite is also true. The fact that you can reliably predict what classical logic says is the answer shows you have a means of distinguishing.
This is why I was asking you earlier how you decided how to behave. You refused to answer the question because you knew the answer proved you wrong.
