The Statler Waldorf Balcony

[Anomalocaris]

Do you have any idea how foolish you appear when you make such statements?

It is too generous to grant him even the last residual of ability to admit to possibilities outside his tortured desert Bedouin creation myth, or to allow him even the slightest sense of shame and embarrassment in choosing what to says to defend his myth.

To him the desert Bedouin creation myth is received truth without error, anything that could be concocted to support it must therefore be the next best thing to received truth. To us it is complete garbage worthless even for the purpose of learning from its mistakes because its deviations from what we've found out to be true is effectively random. It is but white noise for the purpose of finding out what really happened to anything anywhere outside a few moments in the history of early iron age hebrew tribal politics. We have a tolerably good idea of why he thinks what he thinks; he has no idea whatsoever how we found out what we know.

This was exactly how it was when he come to these discussions, and it will be exactly this way when he leaves us for good.
