No, little V, I haven't run out of counters to your arguments, I have run out of patience when it comes to dealing with your inability to understand how the innumerable counters that I (and others) have already provided, have already destroyed your arguments.Veritas Aequitas wrote: ↑Mon Sep 04, 2023 3:30 amThese ad homs are signs a very bruised psyche from the related arguments that you have run out of counters to my argument.seeds wrote: ↑Sun Sep 03, 2023 6:03 pmWhat do you mean in saying that: "...I would have agreed..." ?Iwannaplato wrote: ↑Wed Aug 30, 2023 2:43 pm I would have agreed, but Chatgpt was very adamant. I mean, I understand that it's knowledge is not perfect, but it would seem that some of it must be true, at least, give that it is culling from the best current knowledge just as it did in all the posts where you liked what it said. I'll ask it if it might have a bias against you and get back to you on the subject.
Agreed with what? That bolded part of VA's reply? Nonsense!!!
First off, I too am no doubt guilty of much of what your excellent Chatgpt quote points out about the mental status of those who label other's philosophical positions as being childish. However, I nevertheless marveled and how amazingly accurate it was in evaluating VA's situation. It's as if it zeroed-in specifically on VA.
Either that, or little V is such a cut-and-dried textbook case, that it (Chatgpt) simply had to list the already established facts and they fit V like the proverbial glove.
And the fact that little V stated: "...I don't fit into any of the above categories..." was a real knee slapper. Especially seeing how it was immediately followed with him proving how he does indeed fit into category one ("Intellectual Arrogance") as he matter-of-factly (arrogantly) explained that, no, it's not arrogance - it's intellectual "competence".
Furthermore, did Chatgtp mention anything about a "Pathological Dishonesty" category? For we both have pointed out to him how he denies stating certain things that we then provide him with the very quote of that which he denies having said - of which he then simply refuses to even acknowledge the error he made - (must have something to do with that "Ego Protection" category that he "...doesn't fit into...").
I sometimes feel a little guilty for picking on him so much, however, seeing how his ego is so huge that he needs a wheelbarrow to carry the overflow, I can't seem to resist whacking it with a stick from time to time.

In which case, what you call "ad homs," I, on the other hand, call last resort efforts to try to get through to you, because it has proven to be an exercise in futility to use reason and logic.
Indeed, reason and logic have no effect on you.
And lastly, how dare you be so hypocritical as to accuse others of using ad homs about you when the very title of this thread you created is an "...attention getter..." ad hom against philosophical realists - calling them "children" and proclaiming that their philosophical ideology is "childish."
What's off-topic about my discussing with Iwannaplato the idiocy of you insisting that you don't fit into any of the categories listed in his Chatgpt quote when, in fact, you fit perfectly into all of them?Veritas Aequitas wrote: ↑Mon Sep 04, 2023 3:30 am Why waste time so much on these off-topics ad homs,...
Seriously, V, your lack of self-awareness is astonishing.
Now, granted, what I discussed with Iwannaplato might not have anything to do with your ad hom insulting of p-realists, but if you wouldn't have made such an absurd statement about not "fitting in" with any of the Chatgpt categories, then I would not have felt compelled to counter it. So, it's your fault for spontaneously generating a new topic within the existing one.
How many times do I have to repost the following before it finally penetrates that thick skull of yours?...Veritas Aequitas wrote: ↑Mon Sep 04, 2023 3:30 am ...just give your counter arguments to what you do not agree with my arguments.
Again, reasonable and logical counter arguments have no effect on you, for you either don't understand them, or you simply ignore them. Therefore, what's left for us to use other than ad homs?seeds wrote: ↑Sun Aug 13, 2023 6:47 pm In that same post, in a rare moment of candid honesty and self-reflection, you went on to say...Yes, little V, there is still room for improvements.Veritas Aequitas wrote: ↑Mon Sep 30, 2019 2:56 am I am not perfect so there is still room for improvements.
And by "improvements," it doesn't mean finding new and better ways of pretending that your egregious errors in logic don't exist, or by wearing down your opponents by repetitiously insisting that they show you how and where your arguments are flawed when they have already done so dozens of times in prior encounters with you.
