When you say, "still the best philosopher", who are you referring to exactly?

This is like Lebron James going to some little town in Nebraska, playing basketball only there with a bunch of amateurs, and announcing now and then that he is the GOAT. Or, wait, it's not like that, because the GOAT wouldn't do something like that.

That would be me, the person who can answer everything in metaphysics coherently.

But not in such a way that people are interested. That is also a skill that philosophers need.

All the GoATs have a series of accompliments that involve both experts and interested amateurs. And they tend NOT to spend time announcing they are the GoAT. They live it. And if it isn't working, they tweak it.

Coming to a little online philosophy forum and announcing that you are the best is just laughable.

All worship Advocate he is the greatest that has been, the greatest that shall be, and the best in general.



On an unrelated note, now is the blatant Narcissistic Personality Disorder working out for you? Perhaps a qualified medical professional would help you more than being mocked by the interwibblies will.

'Coherently' to who, exactly? (See, if you were really answering everything 'coherently', then your answers would be 'coherent', or more precisely, your words would be logical and consistent while forming a unified whole. Which they obviously are not.)

And,

What does the word 'metaphysics' even mean or refer to, to you, exactly? (See for me to be able to tell you what you have missed here, I need to know what you are referring to, exactly.)

You're still concentrating on me instead of the worth of my ideas, proving my point immaculately. That ordinary folk don't recognize or laud it has no bearing on the worth of anything in philosophy at all

Credentials and integrated success are no part of being the best philosopher, just as academic knowledge isn't. And many of the Acknowledged best philosophers wouldn't meet that criteria either.

Worship is too far. And i won't be the best forever. But you already knew that and you're being disingenuous, which proves the OP even more!

As hominem attacks are evidence that you're a bad thinker and maybe you shouldn't be trying to participate in a philosophy forum. You're bringing down the curve. I would like to point out especially that you have no capacity to vett the criteria by which my answers may be judged.

They are obviously not that way to you because you have literally no idea what you're talking about. You've never undertaken to understand them in that respect At All, and especially not with the help of the author to understand any apparent discrepancies. In reality they are coherent.

Metaphysics is a coherent set of answers to all of the deepest "what is the nature of?" questions. Of which i have provided about 30.

How interesting to note that two different people have referenced coherence this morning without a single appeal to an accepted definition of coherence. If this doesn't prove my point about missing the point, what could? Intellectual morons aren't capable of judging meaningful answers and therefore are incapable of finding any and should feel bad about themselves, at least as philosophers if not thinkers in general.

Coherent
adjective
1. (of an argument, theory, or policy) logical and consistent.
2. united as or forming a whole.

con·sist·ent
adjective
1. acting or done in the same way over time, especially so as to be fair or accurate
2. compatible or in agreement with something.

Yes, i can easily meet those criteria, and that alone is much more than any other philosopher has ever been able to rationally claim. My metaphysics is both internally and external consistent, but how would any of you know it? You're all bad thinkers.

We could break down logical, fair, and accurate if you like, but that's a point if diminishing returns.

Why won't you be the greatest of all time for all time?

Because while i've found The Truth (others have parts, but none so coherent), it wouldn't be hard to extend it or to make it prettier than i can.
