-because I have to say it
In light of this, as in this entire thread....but ofc this isn;t limited to just this thread...it doesn't -matter- what facts you have or what we may one day discover. It honestly and truly doesn't...because this is what you, and those likeminded -do- with those facts, real or perceived.
In one of those rare moments where a similarly affiliated criticism actually has something behind it.....we don't spend enough time teaching people -how- to think, and far too much teaching them what to think. Great for a standardized test, fatal to understanding. The failure of your viewpoint is complete and impressive, a failure on both counts.....but even if someone, somehow managed to educate you in regards to modern synth...it wouldn;t change a thing. You still wouldn;t know how to string your thoughts together into a cogent point...and obviously this doesn't stop you from claiming to possess a point of any kind. This really harshes my "human mellow", I really do want to think that we're going to be fine, that we have alot going for us...that a mutual understanding will someday be reached even if agreement or consensus isn't. The very existence of this sort of dialogue calls into question my appraisal of human beings as little more than the sort of thing I habitually rail against....while simultaneously conforming my least generous suspicions about the human condition..what we are, what we can and can't do, what we do or don't have. It makes you, and us, seem like a machine with a stuck register.

I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
