Meh, just play along until you get bored. He never actually believes a thing that he writes anyway, all his bullshit is for performance.
Re: Skepick's and tillingborn's mental masturbation thread.
You could perhaps tell us how we might determine whether anybody "actually believes" anything they say? Why not use you as an example?FlashDangerpants wrote: ↑Fri Feb 26, 2021 10:28 am Meh, just play along until you get bored.

Do you actually believe anything you say? Performatively, what would be different if you didn't?
All your bullshit is for performance too, but I figure you meant that as a pejorative rather than a fact when aimed at me
Actions speak louder than words or some such ancient wisdom.
Re: Skepick's and tillingborn's mental masturbation thread.
I don't have anything to say. I asked you a question. You keep avoiding; and now you are starting a new threads instead of just answering it.tillingborn wrote: ↑Fri Feb 26, 2021 10:02 am Skepdick; if you have anything to say to me, do so here.

If you react to me with emotion - then I am a troll (from your PoV). Presumably because my questions have exhausted your vocabulary.
If you react to me with reason - then i am not a troll (from your PoV). Presumably because you have more to say.
Seeming as you think I am "trolling" you, perhaps that's a signal you've run out of things to say?All human beings carry about a set of words which they employ to justify their actions, their beliefs, and their lives. These are the words in which we formulate praise of our friends and contempt for our enemies, our long-term projects, our deepest self-doubts and our highest hopes… I shall call these words a person's “final vocabulary”. Those words are as far as he can go with language; beyond them is only helpless passivity or a resort to force. (Contingency, Irony, and Solidarity p. 73)
Most reasonable human beings figure that coincides with the limits their knowledge/understanding, rather than attack their interlocutor. If you care about civility/charity anyway.

Re: Skepick's and tillingborn's mental masturbation thread.
Go back and check the context, shit for brains, and then ask yourself why anyone should bother explaining a feature of themselves that you have invented. Feel free to ask questions about anything I have actually said.
Re: Skepick's and tillingborn's mental masturbation thread.
I can't check "the context" retard. The context is in your head. It's not in the symbols you write. I can INFER a context, but that's not the same as verifying my inference against the contents of your head. That is literally the difference between abduction and induction.tillingborn wrote: ↑Fri Feb 26, 2021 12:12 pm Go back and check the context, shit for brains, and then ask yourself why anyone should bother explaining a feature of themselves that you have invented.
I haven't invented any features. I ASKED whether there is more to it, or if it's just aesthetics.
Because in so far as I can tell you are using the term "aesthetics" as a thought-terminating cliché.
That is what I am doing.tillingborn wrote: ↑Fri Feb 26, 2021 12:12 pm Feel free to ask questions about anything I have actually said.

If you stick with philosophy long enough what you will find is that after thousands of years and billions of thoughts, the people who think their ideas are unique are just ignorant. The people whose ideas really are unique are mental.
Re: Skepick's and tillingborn's mental masturbation thread.
That is an uncharitable interpretation.
What are you doing on a Philosophy forum if you don't give a shit about charity?

Re: Skepick's and tillingborn's mental masturbation thread.
And now you're whining that I'm not being charitable.
Re: Skepick's and tillingborn's mental masturbation thread.
Correct. That I can does not mean that I want to; or that I will.
It's entirely on you to detect and signal when we've crossed over your boundary. Because I am not a mind-reader.
Charity implies trust. So keep demonstrating how uncharitable you are...
