That is the danger of 'philosophy'. Some people are just good at making the irrational sound rational to those who are gullible, not very bright, uneducated, or unable to think critically. The only 'point' in arguing with someone like Gustav is to expose his lies and agenda to anyone who might otherwise be swayed by them. The man himself is never going to change his position.Walker wrote: ↑Tue Jun 20, 2017 3:12 pmThe point is to make a cogent, intelligent, and convincing argument that is so persuasive that even a highly intelligent, critical mind such as Gustav’s can see the world in a wholly new way. This is the point of the discussion. Personal regard for the current position of the purported principle, whether that regard is negative or affirmative, is irrelevant other than as a clue of doorways to persuade, chinks in the wall. But that is a highly limited approach, especially when appealing to a greater intelligence, for it assumes much that has already been considered in the construction of the held and fortified position. Better to come sailing in from left field, the dada way, and if you have a great arm you can throw from right field to third base on a fairly tight parabola, right on the money, no relays. Personal insults and opinions? Unless you are someone of fame, authority, or wealth they are so many stones tossed at the ankles of castle walls.Science Fan wrote: ↑Tue Jun 20, 2017 1:49 pm Gustav, you have no answers. You have lies and delusions, but no answers. You reject the most basic findings of science, the most researched aspects of history, and you shove them aside to endorse made-up delusional claims of uneducated people who prance around social media 24/7 spreading hate.
I would no more rely on information from you than I would rely on information from David Icke.
