Given the amount he posts, he clearly has a lot of time on his hands and nothing useful to do, but it all looks like a wikipedia trail to me.Terrapin Station wrote: ↑Sun Apr 11, 2021 12:28 pmThat too, probably, but he's claimed a background in computer/information science and I think that's plausible. If not, he at least has something like a very high functioning autistic's long-term obsession with computer/information science, enough that he'd have equivalent knowledge to someone with a degree and/or employment in the field, and enough to give him the "when you have a hammer" problem.

Re: Prove An Independent Reality-in-Itself Exists
That could be. I certainly know very little about it. Someone who really knows computer/information science would be able to tell far better than I can.

Let us determine who or what he is.
Let us practice our religion of Identity.

Yeah, that's why I said that when you peg stuff like this about him, the "just angry" side tends to come out. Classic defense mechanism.

Do you think experiencing the full range of human emotions is a defining feature of being human?tillingborn wrote: ↑Sun Apr 11, 2021 12:55 pm Is anger at being wrong a defining feature of being human in your view?
From where I am looking, putting things in boxes is way more important to you
I mean, if you don't care about striving towards being less wrong - just say so.
Re: Prove An Independent Reality-in-Itself Exists
Oh come on now buddy, you couldn't be happier. You are getting attention from three people at once. Even it's just negative attention on a backwater forum, you would still kill for it.Skepdick wrote: ↑Sun Apr 11, 2021 12:46 pmLook!Atla wrote: ↑Sun Apr 11, 2021 12:36 pm Skepdick doesn't know the first thing about computer/information science, he's just bluffing, but that's enough to fool people like Terrapin. What Skepdick does is, since his brain is somehow not capable of processing meaning/context/abstraction, he tries to read all English like it was computer code. Plus he's an incel with anger issues.
Another character assassination attempt.
You are so pathetic
Come now! There's 3 of you. Lynch me already for rejecting your orthodoxy.
Re: Prove An Independent Reality-in-Itself Exists
The attention saddens me.
I am (unfortunately) right about human nature.
You care much more about protecting your theoretical ivory towers against deconstruction than you care about humans.

Re: Prove An Independent Reality-in-Itself Exists
No, but since you ask whether I am human, why do you think not being angry at being wrong should disqualify me? It seems important to you and you clearly get very angry.Skepdick wrote: ↑Sun Apr 11, 2021 12:56 pmDo you think experiencing the full range of human emotions is a defining feature of being human?tillingborn wrote: ↑Sun Apr 11, 2021 12:55 pm Is anger at being wrong a defining feature of being human in your view?

Is that you attaching your own connotation to my words?Maybe you experience anger when I use those particular words?
I don't... I am sipping a cocktail next to my swimming pool right now.
Re: Prove An Independent Reality-in-Itself Exists
No shit, sherlock.
The human pursuit for knowledge is the very pursuit of self-deification.
Knowledge is power.
Science's very mission is to predict/control nature. It is to make us, humans, more powerful.
Somehow you think that's a pejorative.

Re: Prove An Independent Reality-in-Itself Exists
Usually anger like that in contexts like this stem from someone feeling they've not received the recognition they believe they're due for what they see as their skills, intelligence, insight, etc.tillingborn wrote: ↑Sun Apr 11, 2021 1:05 pmNo, but since you ask whether I am human, why do you think not being angry at being wrong should disqualify me?
