He's communicating in the most basic, easy to understand English I can imagine.
What am I missing that is allegedly incomprehensible? Please explain.
I'm teasing him.
The other day he asserted that words don't have meanings. So I'm taking him at his word, so to speak.
To his credit, he came back later and added the essential qualifier, "intrinsic." It's true that the sounds we make and write down don't have an essential connection to their meanings. But that's not what he said at first. And of course he didn't say, "oops I was wrong to leave off the qualifier." But then, "sorry" is just a word.
I think it's clear that he doesn't want a reasonable conversation with me. He's an insulter. So I'm just playing.
But isn't that Kyary Pamyu Pamyu video amazing? Andre Breton, you should be living at this hour!
Thanks for the explanation.
But it seems like a waste of time, since he corrected himself.
You'd believe if you just opened your heart" is a terrible argument for religion. It's basically saying, "If you bias yourself enough, you can convince yourself that this is true." If religion were true, people wouldn't need faith to believe it -- it would be supported by good evidence.
