Kind of made me sad that CL kudosed the shit he said because she's actually the most reasonable of all the theists there that I have seen so far (haven't seen Roadrunner or Steve yet but even if they say more reasonable things than here I like her more)... but I guess maybe it's because she's the nicest of the bunch that she kudoses him? Because she's more tolerant of cuntishness than the rest.
Being tolerant of cuntishness is not a good quality of course, but being tolerant in general is. And I think it's a symptom of her tolerance in general and not a sympton of her tolerance of cuntishness.
P.S. "Cuntishness" is my favorite word now. It's so incredibly fucking fun to fucking say. It's even more fun than saying [the sentence/incomplete sentence] "It's so incredibly fucking fun to fucking say" and even that was (also) so incredibly fucking fun to fucking say. It's just even more so [very] incredibly fucking fun to fucking say... to say "cuntishness"... I mean.
At least... I hope CL does not agree with him. I know you're not a fan of the opinions she has and threads she starts and her approach in general, Rob. I'm not either but I definitely think she's a lovely person at heart and definitely curious on top of any other possible motives (I think unknown to her. But I can imagine that all of us have agendas at least unconsciously... so yeah).....
(the difference is I don't think Neo's agenda is unconscious, as well as it involving more cuntishness, I think Neo's agenda is not only conscious but very much self-conscious, he is aware that he is aware of his approach. And it's precisely because he's so aware of his own agenda and ulterior motives that makes him so very disigenuous when he pretends otherwise.
Despite the fact he also makes his agenda very clear, as well.... at least in this case. When he basically says that he'll ignore any knowledge if it doesn't support Christianity. Which is confirmation bias at its [least fine] finest. He's starting with a [delusion] conclusion and then looking for the premises.
By the by.... if anyone can give me some anti-verbosity tutoring please help. I think I'm getting worse. I think it's because i'm reading more philosophy again but I am definitely NOT going to stop doing that. So what I need to try and do is know what to omit. Before posting a super verbose post I should omit all the parts that aren't important in order to leave myself with more conciseness. So, if anyone can give me any hints and tips on reducing verbosity: please make it hints and tips on what sort of things to omit. I've had ideas that by the time I've finished my ramble the most important parts of the post tend to be at the end (with exceptions being stuff like this "by the way" or a P.S.... as they tend to either be very meta or just a separate point altogether)..... because it's by the end that I've managed to verbalize what I most wanted to say. But at the same time sometimes my most important points are at the beginning because I tend to overexplain my points afterwards. But sometimes people do want elaboration when I try to be concise and brief and pithy. That's what I struggle with most: balance. Anyways, it's no worries if people offer good advice and I am unable to follow it. Many have tried and I've failed to implement it but I guess I never asked before about precisely what sort of things to omit (saying "Just omit the less important stuff you say" begs the question, for me, because I lack the common sense to tell which parts are important and that's part of the whole problem in the first place. I need to know some way of categorizing it. I have no sense of how I seem to others besides what they tell me and my own misjudgements about what they might think based on what they or others have expressed to me previously).
