Mephura
Then why do you not bother to respond to the main point of the last post and instead concentrate on one little sentence.
How many of your characterizations would you like me to answer? I noticed that both you and
Gendanken have pretty much given up on your defense of hatred and undertaken a futile pursuit of a Tiassa.
Such as your syllogism: it's a nice assertion but you're not really supporting it. Same with
Gendanken's characterizations.
Focus. Get an issue. Preferably one that doesn't throw evolution by the wayside.
And who are you to bitch? I addressed your four points of dissent rather thoroughly and all I get is a two-bit illustration of how a syllogism can be true without reflecting reality?
You bring up duality, and yet you are the one claiming that this is good and that is bad. I simply say it is. That is, apparently, a concept that you have a hard time with.
While there is talk of a gray area,
Gendanken has not done anything to refute the paucity of the gray area which derives from its inherent myopia. Isolated and static, you each have points of value. But dynamically and functionally, the best you can hope for is benign inefficiency, still a net loss.
I'll continue to say what I have said from the begining. Hate exists. Its a basic emotion. It will always exist. All we can do is learn to control it and lessen its causes.
Fear and ignorance will always remain. Knowing
everything is impossible. Prolonged hatred resulting from fear and ignorance is a cancer that can be cured. Unless, of course, we're really going to hold it against the street that we tripped over our shoelaces and fell off the building. If someone wants to go down hating the alligator, that's one thing, but I know for a fact I've got a shot if I run as fast as I can and not in a straight line. If I choose hating the alligator, the best I can hope for is benign inefficiency.
You find parinoia, fear and hatred in that?
I find paranoia, fear, and an anger that results in a certain degree of hatred in your reliance on your unsubstantiated nightmare-scenario. You've shown no rational reason why it has to be that way, and as it seems to be the basis of your fear, you ought to explore that aspect.
I talk about acceptance of differences and you tell me how wrong I am to do so and how we should all be the same.
Really? Did you have a particular part in mind, or were you referring to the occasion that I said we must first notice our differences and then choose to make them important?
I'm not the one judging everyone who disagrees with me to be unintelligent, blinded, ignorant, and generally bad.
Not everyone gets that label. Only those who blindly argue ignorant and malicious ideas.
You don't know me or anything about my life, fears, personality, views or beliefs, yet you claim all kinds of things.
I can only work with what you put on the table. And that tastes as bad as it smells, and even worse than it looks.
Remember, too, that you're the one choosing to swipe after my parenthood. We
know Gendanken has an unnatural fixation with that, but what's your excuse, especially in light of that pathetic,
You don't know me, complaint?
I want you to know that you have brought some small measure of joy to at least a few people. Of the thirty or so people I have showed this thread to, I think there were only 4 that didn't find your constant contradictions, back peddling, dancing around topics, and various inaccuracies on both what I said and your ideas of me to be laughable.
Yes, but you've shown thirty people, and apparently I've made an impression. Time and experience will fill in the rest. I'm now officially a part of their data set, and unless they're complete numbskulls, that influence on the data set will have certain natural effects. Ideological associations are among the most entertaining complexities of human association.
Simply put, apparently you are the only one who interprets my words in your twisted way. Even people I disagree with on moral and philosophical levels find you humorous. My words are plain and simple. How you took what you did from them is beyond me.
Well I remembered the context of the issues,
Mephura. I didn't make the focus on the poster but on the limitations of the poster's ideas.
Maybe next time you'll not make the mistake of taking that damn childish tone with me. It tips your hand,
Mephura, points out that you care less about the issues than you do about image.
And you know, I don't go so far as to hold author's meetings for peer review with my friends regarding my Sciforums posts. Seriously, thanks for the exposure. If I had the kind of ideas that made perfect sense to people of your perspective, I could have conned millions out of a publisher by now. Pop-lit is an exercise in degradation as far as I can tell. I chose years ago, in what many consider a bad financial move, but that says much about their motivations, to forego the job of conning people with the trash they want to hear to ease their superficial souls and instead seek more elusive and difficult ideas.
You noted several pages back, when you tapped this current vein, that
no one has bothered to really examine the issue. Now perhaps it's my own fault for confusing myself,
Mephura, but I went forward under the notion that beneath the muck of your pretentious paranoia you actually did want to examine the issue.
And
you chose to reduce it to the abstraction of instantaneous natural impulse. When this topic started it was about a much more deliberate hatred. Even
Gendanken understood that, to judge by her attempts to justify and celebrate hatred.
And even within that reduction of scope you still dared presume against evolution. And having been called out on that you now resort to what?
Giving me exposure? Infecting other people with my influence? Good show,
Mephura. Getting thirty people to sit around and read something as long-winded as this whole topic has been without any advance preparation is quite a task. I thank you for putting the effort into it.
Do you wish to continue to stand on your fears and projections in lieu of a point? Do you wish to continue attempting to characterize me? Do you wish to get a new point? Or are you going to be like
Gendanken and say farewell every now and then for effect?
And, of course, given those links I posted recently, thank you for giving
those authors and websites exposure as well.
I mean, your thirty critics
did do
all the reading, right?
How about you get yourself a point to argue or just spill whatever the fuck your problem with me is,
Mephura? And I mean the problem you had back when you decided to tap this vein, not the headaches I've given you since.
