This is amusing, because, if we imagine some universe in which something like this argument can be made to be lucid, at least, some sort of commitment to that and to the argument and a continuing duiscussion of it, rather than fitful starting and stopping at the same point, would be required to arrive at this state of affairs. I'm not sure that anyone who finds such an argument compelling, or has even an ounce of respect for the argument or whatever valid and plausible form it might be couched in, could be so careless and uninterested.
Is this argument or it;s conclusion valued, or is that another illusion?
And in the next thread about it he will claim that his premises have been “thoroughly argued” and shown to be true, when in fact the opposite is true; he retreats the moment anyone pushes him even a little. What causes that kind of disconnect in a person’s brain? For someone who blathers on about self-reflecting and clear understanding of the ‘accurate self’, he seems about as clueless as anyone could possibly be.
The mind is a powerful instrument, most critically when it is turned against itself.
