If we understand each other, then you're speaking out of your ass. This is a talent I do not posses... and I cannot help but to respect it. Your ability to draw conclusions of truth out of thin air is an absolute miracle of the organic machine... and this is the only reason why synthetics will not be our end all in the end.

You don't seem to know what an ad hominem is. What you were delivered could at best be a straw man, which is only so if it is infact not the ultimate end of what you were arguing (it is).
If it's not what you're arguing, then do try again... this time without the infantile "quotations" around every word you have to use to try to defend your childlike "belief" in "truth". Hopefully, you're better at doing this than you are at recognizing personal attacks... as we might be here all week if so.

Yes, that was much how I felt reading that trite you put forward. Care to try again? Don't pull any punches this time... show me what you've got

No, i feel like logic is a flawed process in the first place. That's what my experience with the universe suggests, after all

You would do well to return to grade school, as you seem ignorant about what is taught within its walls.

Your ability to edit after-the-fact somehow doesn't credit you any additional leverage. You might make better use of such extra time by thinking it through the first time.

Oh? How on earth would you know?
Is your ability to assess 'truth' so magnificent that you can even reach objectivity in your analysis of it? hock:
Please give me a home where cloud buffalo roam
Where the dear and the strangers can play
Where sometimes is heard a discouraging word
But the skies are not stormy all day
