I'm simply reporting to you that I'd not bother trying to persuade you of anything. That's not an argument with premises and a conclusion. It's a report about a disposition I have.
Well, sure - if you had stated your disposition only that would've been perfectly fine. But you went a little further...

Apparently you missed me saying that I'd not bother trying to convince you of this? I have zero interest in that with you, because of your personality.
And so it sure seems that the premise to your conclusion is my personality.
Sure seems like an argument to me. At the very least a claim about my personality. I wonder if it obtains.

Sure. I'm not surprised that it would seem like an argument to you. You have no idea what an argument even is. You're not even remotely qualified to talk about any of this stuff because you have a complete lack of knowledge of it.

No shit, Sherlock. I don't know what anything IS. But then again - neither do you. Because those are ontological questions without any universal answers.

Au contraire. Building knowledge ontologies from first principles is precisely what I am competent in.

It's a reaction borne purely out of a lack of understanding.
Snowflake. Don't they teach you anything in Philosophy these days? How do you know that you "understand"?.
We both know that you don't have an objective criterion for "understanding" so maybe you want to borrow mine (which I borrowed from Feynman).
What I cannot create - I do not understand.
Seeming as I created my own philosophy, I figure I understand it just fine. For all practical and non-academic purposes anyway.

So why do you want to pretend that you know something about philosophy when you're not interested in it, really?

Because I created one, therefore I understand it.
What more is there to "understand"? The activity is just conceptual design and language manipulation.

It's really not, but you're not interested enough to really bother with it, and I doubt you ever will be. <shrug>
You keep saying that, but you can't even argue your point.

We need to argue that you're not interested in it enough to study it? You're arguing that you are interested in it?
