You misunderstood me. I never said that you're insecure in posting here, I meant in life.
Quote:and the thing that I fear now really is intellectual culture and intellectual arrogance, the same arrogance that proudly proclaims that it can build nuclear weapons and at the same time demands that everyone accept that its culture is a universal norm for assessing all truth claims, whether they have anything to do with their culture of weapon making or not.
Now how did that quote about splinter and beams in your eye go..?
Quote:Because intellectuals are so foolish they don't deserve a response in their own language.
I might go out on a limb here, but I think you're not even able to give me a response in my first or second language (without Google translate, that is).
Quote:If intellectual culture is so superior, why do they make nuclear weapons? That seems like an inferior culture to me.
Do you honestly think that the biggest part of research and discoveries are made for martial purposes? No, it's the greed that drives certain individuals to apply findings into weaponry. And what kind of people wages war the most? The religious.
Quote:I think that baby talk is superior to intellectual culture in a lot of ways.
I highly doubt you think at all at some times..
Quote:I have never seen a baby build a nuclear weapon and then argue that anyone who did not accept his methods of understanding the world was was a fool.
Just check TEGH's thread for childish misconceptions out, and we'll see just how silly a child can be.

Obviously. You're cuckoo!
When I was young, there was a god with infinite power protecting me. Is there anyone else who felt that way? And was sure about it? but the first time I fell in love, I was thrown down - or maybe I broke free - and I bade farewell to God and became human. Now I don't have God's protection, and I walk on the ground without wings, but I don't regret this hardship. I want to live as a person. -Arina Tanemura
