“Your”.
That’s it? No substantial reply? Yes, if you think this A/=A paradox will contain a rebuttal to my claims, let us get into it by all means. Why would you even hold back or ask me that? Let me repeat my point in simpler english since you haven’t bothered to address it:
Just because a philosophical idea proposed is not original doesn’t mean the proposition itself isn’t original or worthwhile. If I say something that somebody else has said before, the fact that I said it when and where I said it may be a unique contribution to philosophy. Therefore your argument that there are no unique contributions to philosophy just because every idea has already been said is false.
And again, you still haven’t defended your position that uniquemess is necessary for worthwhileness in the first place. This is plainly false.
"That way" is just a way you made up in order to score points in this debate, and I'm not having it. A person is not illogical or unable to understand information or stupid because they have learned some particular skill instead of another. Again: Einstein was not an idiot because he couldn't perform eye surgery. Einstein's inability to perform eye-surgery did not mean he was 'not sensible or logical' in [i]any[/i] way. Nobody uses 'idiot' in that way, the dictionary definition I gave you doesn't use it in that way, you are plainly trying to make up new definitions of well understood words to win a debate.
Irrelevant to the portion of my post you quoted.
I am repeating my point because you failed to address it:
You let me define the subject of the debate. As such, I get to define the terms in the subject. I have used standard definitions, so those ARE the definitions we are debating. If you can’t demonstrate that you foolish and have nothing worthwhile to contribute to philosophy using the definitions of the terms provided by Webster, then you can’t win this debate.
There is nothing about counter examples in my writing above. There is nothing about contributions in the general sense in the above. Your comment on microcosm and macrocosm does not address anything I said above. You didn't reply to the above portion of my post you quoted at all, in fact. What you wrote is a complete non-sequitor to what I wrote. You're just chopping up your brief reply and spreading quotes of mine between it to make it look like you're addressing my points when you aren't. Clear behavior of a troll.
My point stands- you contribute to philosophy by being an example of what not to do. The uniqueness of your ideas has little to do with it. If anything, the less unique your ideas are, the better an example of what not to do you become. Nevertheless, you are a unique example, in that you are here and now, and no other bad example is.
