All I can say is that if I am a bot here, shudder to think what that makes you! The irony being that Julian used to play you back in the day. That you don’t even grasp how you come off here is perhaps the biggest reason I continue to play the cat to your mouse.
As I have noted to others, with the Kids here, the idea is not to actually reason with them but to humiliate them by letting them be themselves. In fact, I suspect those speculations about women and chess were fed to you by phoneutria. Either that, or you are but a character that she plays here.
Surely, you will not be foolish enough to take this back to the philosophy board? There, above all, you expose just how shallow your thinking can become.
No dice?
We’ll need a context of course.
How about…the 2nd Amendment?
Now, you insist that I insist that “it is either genes, memes, or a combination of the two, a paradigm introduced by Dawkins. And you state this is true objectively for everyone.”
Cite examples from this thread and from the 2nd Amendment thread of what you think I mean by a complex combination of genes and memes in regard to a particular individual’s reaction to the 2nd Amendment.
What in particular are you claiming that I am claiming is true objectively “for everyone”?
I asked you to pick one. For example, in regard to something you did today. There are the parts derived from nature. The parts derived from nurture. The parts derived from a more or less complex intertwining of both.
I never argued that this is a “paradigm” that, objectively, every one of us is required to grasp in exactly the same way. The one and the only right way in which to think about why we do the things that we do. That’s what the objectivists like Satyr do.
Now, truth be told, I have almost no interest in exploring what you think about them. Why? Because I have almost no respect at all for your intelligence. As often as not it is just Kidstuff. Silly Kidstuff.
Phoneutria’s intelligence, on the other hand, does pique my interest.
If only because if we ever did sustain an exchange about genes and memes, her contempt for my intelligence would at least revolve around really sophisticated repartee.
I’d love to exchange ripostes with her. The more caustic the better.
