I knew you meant in terms of your views.
Well, I meant I'm as sure about it as I can be about anything. Unless something truly remarkable happens to you that makes you diverge from your current path, that will definitely happen. I know it because I can understand you at a deeper level.
You're starting to sound like you have delusions of grandeur and you've chosen me as a target to 'join you' in your intellectual superiority, no thanks... you're above average intelligent but your superiority is delusional and the fact you are saying that you can be as sure as you are about anything that I would change my views to the same as yours if you wanted me to, that is both creepy and super-delusional.

Well, back up a tad, because scientism is a self-refuting proposition, since it is generally expressed as 'Only scientific statements have value', which is not a scientific statement.

And now you've justified my saying you blame other people for your faults. You're two for two.
This is ridiculous. Can you even see what you're doing and how pointless it is? How transparent it is? Why do you insist on trying to prove something? Because you're a woman or something? Get over it. You don't need to imitate jerkiness to gain everyone's respect, in fact you don't even need anyone's respect. Believe me.

Sigh. I couldn't recruit you. It's not how it works. I'm merely making observations.

What are you talking about? What fantasy aspect of my worldview? Disillusioned with what whole affair? I already try to figure out ways to improve things.
Why are you so fucking confident that if you tried to convert me to your views and disillusion me that you would succeed? The fact you consider it as a 'fact' and 'as sure as you could be about anything' is fucking creepy. And the fact that you said you also think that I have more potential to become like you than anyone else on these forums is also fucking creepy. Please stop being creepy, if you really think these things then either elaborate or don't say them. I don't like creepy suggestions without justification and elaboration.

Thank fuck for that.

Well they certainly seem more on the creepy side than the helpful side.

I never said I would have any part in influencing you in any way. I couldn't. You can only influence people who won't be like you no matter what. You can't influence someone who you think is very similar to you. You can merely tip your hat to their future selves.

She may not need the respect but she certainly gets it here more than you do. And I think it's for a good reason.

Woah, woah woah... back up.
I will NOT be like you no matter what.
I am NOT very similar to you.
I am NOT your future self.
Stop. Being. So. Fucking. Creepy. And. Delusional.
